about

Philippe Blanchard a.k.a. Lt. Caramel has always been a sonic Eugène Ionesco for me with a surréaliste approach to composition. I’ve stated Ionesco because of the importance of word play and the “attention” to the absurd in his compositions. Often, references are made to Nurse With Wound but I found Lt. Caramel less compromising and more consistent than his British counterpart, maybe should I say also more selective in his outputs. Philippe approach music as a free form liberal art constituted of thematic points of focus, his début album La Boîte de Pandore (1985) is a good early example of this subtle brew.

It is hard for me as a close friend and collaborator not to feel his work close to mine, an artist without pre-conceived ideas using field recordings alongside electronics in complex structures (more acousmatic and less repetitively or self-generatively oriented than yours). He won numerous prizes but always underplayed status in favour of no “non-sense” creation. We’re both involve in the yearly organised Luigi Russolo competition, promoting experimental music from academically conventional pieces to the most Industrial or Noise strands. Again, this production underlined all of the above in a reborn format: the cassette.

Oxidation Illinois

Oxidation is the process that destroys the CDr format over time. Unfortunately, we have started to lose several great releases because of this deterioration.

This label was started to preserve some of my favorite releases from the 90's and beyond. All releases are posted with complete permission from the artists.

Please enjoy.
