Guillaume Graux first came to our attention with his visuals when we
asked him to contribute these on our festival in 2001. Later on we
discovered he was also making music. At the start, he was clearly
influenced by Mego/Sahko/Touch but within a couple of months this
influence became less obvious throughout the introduction of guitars
which makes his music a kind of haunting trip somewhere between Pita and
Fahey. Somehow threatening but softly gliding into a realm of beauty and
comfort. A treasure island for sound research where the real listeners
are the real winners.
Other Projects: overall, The Great Lakes
Proud Princess of a Brand New City
After several hugely impressive concerts, where the visuals from Kurt
D'Haeseleer are almost as important as the music, Guillaume Graux or Tuk
comes up with a first cd. 'Proud Princess of a Brand New City' contains
mostly finished versions of the tracks he used the first three years at
his live performances.
The main sources on the cd are guitars, most of them so heavily treated
that you barely hear it's a guitar. Even if it's only a beat, it might
be guitar. You never know on this record. Besides this, Tuk grabs music
from the air, bad tv series, his parents piano he used to play as a
child,... Most of the times Tuk starts making his music by modifing an
existing song, like a cheap instumental of Diamonds are Forever, or a
real guitar song made by his own till nothing is left of the original.
Then Graux works on rebuilding the track and defining a new nature of
the song. The music of Tuk is full of intensity. You can't imagine what
he does within a track. When you hear the record for the first time
these tracks still hold the memory of a pure pop track. A feeling
similar to what you get when you're listening to Fennesz or Philip Jeck:
one of melancholy and utterly beauty.
