Ecoute La Merde
01 What is your name / age /
nationality ?
Vivian / 25 / French
02 How did you get into noise ?
Via the mighty French grind label
(now dead) called Human Circus Records, which was also the house of
Vulgar Nausea. First catching some grindcore stuff, then going deeper
into noisecore / harshnoise and a research always calls another one,
and that's it.
03 How did you choose the name
of your project / What does it mean to you ?
ECOUTE LA MERDE was the title of
an album from ROMPRAI ETRON, who was one of the first person I got in
touch with when I began making noise in 2005. The sense of it is
always evolving, from the basic provocative / humoristic meaning to
the decalrations of Antonin Artaud at his most schizophrenic.
04 Which one of your releases
would make the best entry point into your work ?
Diazépam et autres
Benzodiazépines, out on Diazepam. Ecoute La Merde is in
perpetual evolution, like an entity. With its own stages...
05 How do you record ? (live,
sequencing, multi-tracking etc..)
My recording studio is located in
the basement of a psychiatric hospital, where I record only live and
direct to tape. And I never listen back to what I've done.
06 What is your favorite piece
of gear ?
Reel to Reel players and Ibanez DL
10.
07 Do you play live ? How is it
different from your releases ?
Iplay live often and I enjoy
touring. It's different from releases because in the studio I use
much stuff (which is also large, such as organs, turntables...) and
on tour, I have to select efficient stuff which is not too heavy.
That's the main point. On the other hand, I have to say I'm shy about
connecting with the audience when I play under the ECOUTE LA MERDE
monicker, and I think I have to make something fast, agressive and
brutal. No more than 5 minutes time. This is different from the other
bands I play in.
08 Who would you like to collab
/ make a split with ?
Someone I don't know, in order to
discover him or her.
09 Do you listen to other types
of sound/music ? Which ones ?
Every kind of music (really), from
french 60's pop to blues, classical music, Enka, hip-hop, Russian
balalaïka, goregrind, glitch, power electronics, black metal, ... no
limit.
