Editorial Reviews [no English translation available] Sylvie Chenard joue de la guitare électrique, des électroniques et chante, en plus d’être artiste multidisciplinaire depuis une vingtaine d’années. L’illustration, la photographie, les arts médiatiques et la poésie font également partie de ses champs d’activité. Elle produit et réalise les «Projets de la Baleine» depuis 1989. Artiste engagée, elle s’inspire dans son travail des cultures féministe et pacifiste, et ses œuvres reflètent son engagement social. Jon Asencio, Maryse Poulin, Alexandre St-Onge, Martin Tétreault comptent parmi ses collaborateurs. Plusieurs de ses œuvres sont disponibles sur disque compact.
About the Artist
Jon Asencio is a 20 year veteran of the Montreal music scene. His sonic evolution has crossed numerous genres, from punk, pop, reggae and jazz to experimental and electronic music. Many of his musical projects have also included an aspect of performance (such as the UFO obsessed space rock band Starbean) or his retro video game conceptual sound performance ‘PONG’. Never one to shy away from chaos, his work is an attempt to blur the line between being a musician and performance artist. Recently he has played the Montreal Jazz Festival with world music group Ark Of Infinity, and has also released CDs by avant-pop noise band Goa Gajah and his own performance art/music project The Electronic Humans Guild.
Album Description
Sylvie Chenard has been working on her new whale project, Océan, since 1999. In recent years we have come to know her duo performances on her 1999 CD, Hybride, and on her 2000 CD, Manifeste pour contrer la violence faite aux femmes. Now in 2002 the whale will be presenting elements of her experimentation and improvisation with some of people who she has invited to improvise with her in duos. In October, she will launch a follow-up to Océan, the Océan à vendre / for sale project, a duo with Jon Asencio with whom she explores the energies of anarchist, pacifist, and feminist resistance and pleasure. Everything is for sale; nothing is for sale. This is the territory of urban myth, between the waters of an imaginary libertarian and those of a little science fiction about totalitarian reality: a universe of sects, sadomasochistic cravatistes, saints-assassins-warriors of global politics and economics, daily crimes against humanity, rights deniers and dignity destroyers. This sea-soaked meditation, Océan, urges us to stand up for a basic quality of life and for social solidarity, and to oppose state terrorism.
