Brigitte Barbu Vinyl, CD & Tape 3 Items

Brigitte Barbu’s Muzak pour ascenseurs en panne (Muzak for broken lifts) marked a bold new addition to the Circus Company repertoire. In a gilded haze of resonant tones conjured by traditional and non-traditional methods, Brigitte Barbu created an inviting sound world brimming with life and doffing its cap to 1970s signal processing. Out of such sonic research and development comes a wealth of material for other artists to sink their teeth into, and so we proudly present an accompanying remix EP that takes Brigitte Barbu’s distinctive stamp into new territory. Roman Flügel makes a first appearance Circus Company with two versions of “Dae-Boj DeMoya” that showcase this constantly versatile lynchpin of European techno. First up is his “kraut remix", which unsurprisingly channels the grainy beauty of Neu! and early Kraftwerk, before his “synth remix” dials back the drums and diverts our attention towards an expansive arrangement of melodious flourishes from classic synthesisers. John Tejada and Reggie Watts reunite as Wajatta following their triumphant LP Don’t Let Get You Down on Brainfeeder to deliver a particularly inventive, soul-stirring vocal techno version of “Couvre chef en peau de taupe". Watts soars over the signature warmth of Tejada’s production, while Brigitte Barbu’s mysterious tones linger in every fold of the mix. Matthew Herbert offers up a “Butter Dub” version of the album interlude serie “Trou Vert” that pits his signature stark sampling methods against Brigitte Barbu’s material and creates a fruitful dialogue of crooked 4/4 mechanics with all the playful curiosity of the original and a strong dose of Herbert’s inimitable musical personality.

A download code is included. Uniting cosmic tones and lovely notes, unique sound collages and electronic noises, Muzak pour ascenseurs en panne ("Muzak for Broken Lifts"), Brigitte Barbu’s first album, explores a dreamy universe, at the crossroads of electronica and the 70s’ post-tune-in/drop-out, echoing shadows of the peculiar doppelgänger; Pépé Bradock.

Short Info:
Deepening the comic tones using cosmic relief, and lively vibes, La Science des Imbéciles
(Ludicrous System), Brigitte Barbu’s sophomore sonic adventure, manifest a blurry creation
intersecting orbital audio paths and damaged smoking instruments. Could have easily been
called Birdless Science but it wouldn’t be funny…
Reverberating estranged arrangements, bizarre sounds, electronic fantasies, « hallucinationalism »,
and crypto poppy stratums all party together in Barbu's second explicit sensual album. Recorded and
digested during a gastro-reclusive residency in an Un-Orthodox Union Spacy Workstation, under the
benign diffraction of "Californian psychedelia» and medieval Cyrillic capharnaüm. Due to historic
geographical confusions and incorrect spellings, any specific detail will stay confidential. Using a
powerful branded calculator, digital converters, boutique preamps and various synthetic substitutions,
this extra album is blooming for spring cleaning. The guitar was accidentally ravaged, propelling
supervision into a strange but dope alt verse, still somewhere between an impromtu voyage through
scattered chronology and a poetic analytical research.
A cheerful memento escaping from pressure and weight like one of those fancy diets.
"I wanted to compose an intangible Pop LP" says Brigitte, « with guitar as an alibi, blending arrogant
synthesizers and humble plug-ins.… ». With a genuine thoughtful dimension, this record freaks as out
audiences with its neat mischievous mood. Jazzing the Mushing Rooms while testing the Acid Tweaks,
initially, the Artist had ambiguously vague rules for composing: but slowly, offending beardless
academics became the motto.
