The music on this one comes from Andy Moor who plays guitars and electronics. The voice is that of Anne-James Chaton who is responsible for all the texts. Of both Moor probably is the most known artist. He comes from Scotland, but lives and works in Holland since the early 90s, making fame as a member of Dog Faced Hermans, The Ex, a.o. Anne-James Chaton is a sound-poet from France. You can buy six books of his poetry if you want. He worked with The Ex and recently he released a CD together with german musician Alva Noto. Presently he lives in Japan working on a project with local artists.

"Le Journaliste" consists of 8 pieces. It is part of a project, initiated by Chaton, that will lead to a series of 100 portraits. "Le journaliste" confronts us with the work by a single journalist through his texts and columns. Chaton choose texts with a very trivial content. For some pieces he uses a long sequence of sentences with minimal informative differences. All this makes clear that Chaton is not much focused on meaning. He clearly points at the emptiness of journalism, questioning this way the meaning of this kind of journalism. In the titletrack, "Dans le monde" and other tracks we hear the voice of Chaton working himself with great discipline through these texts. In other tracks his voice is electronically manipulated.

Most pieces carry fine repetitive guitar work by Andy Moor. He succeeds in building stripped down and effective musical structures. Besides Moor has a beautiful sound and his playing is very to the point. He paints fantastic abstract musical textures that go very well together with the voicework by Chaton. In a piece like "Frequencies" with extreme manipulations, it becomes hard to distinguish who is doing what. A very satisfying work of conceptual art, impressive by the consequence they worked out their vision. Well done.
