Not many labels as singular as Editions Gravats! A heady brew of outsider electronics from every part of the experimental underground including industrial, drone, reggaeton and whatever else the fuck they want to release. Ran by the enigmatic Low Jack, this is a label we have been following for over a decade at this point and which continues to intrigue and confound!
We are lucky enough to have two artists who have just released records on the label, Autoreverse and Deep Triskell. More on the artists here:
Autoreverse brings together Arnaud Rivière (prepared turntable - we should say damaged or destroyed), a kingpin of the French noise underground as a programmer at Instants Chavirés and Sonic Protest, team player with Otomo Yoshihide, Erik M, and a hundred others, ; and Nina Garcia (guitar & feedback), recently recruited by Stephen O'Malley's Ideologic Organ label after giving the whole of the Paris region a taste for noise guitar solos with her Mariachi project ("Guitar, pedal. That's all’, as his Discogs puts it. What he doesn't say is that it's EVERYTHING - a world, a cosmos in itself) – culminating in a self-titled album and instant classic (Mariachi, No Lagos, 2018), and various collaborations (Maria Bertel, Mamiedaragon).
and.....
Deep Triskell came into shape through a series of live performances, each one bringing the project one step closer to its current sound, that Primault defines as “stoner-trad” (as in traditional): a sonic matter that is dense, abrasive, incompressible and whose beauty can only be fully comprehended when being physically exposed to it over a long period of time.Deep Triskell’s artistic approach falls within a scene that mesh experimental practices with traditional music and that has been strongly resurging in France in recent years. On the album, it takes the form of dissonant motives, typical of drones in traditional music - sometimes dark and lingering (“Devant le Silence Noir”), sometimes throbbing and techno-leaning (“Il recrache le diable”) - that Primault integrates into a broader idiosyncratic musical language, made of psychedelic figures developed via his High Wolf project and digital distortions - characteristic of his recent work as BZMC.
