Hartzine présente Benoît Pioulard en concert très très privé. Originaire de Portland, le songwriter fait une pause dans sa tournée européenne pour s'arrêter à Bastille distiller une folk captivante et mélodique. Après Précis (2006) et Temper (2008), son dernier album, Lasted , vient tout juste de sortir et pour l'occasion Kongfuzi et Hartzine s'associent pour permettre à 5 d'entre-vous d'obtenir l'adresse exacte où se déroulera cette unique prestation. Pour cela, rien de plus simple : envoyez-nous vos nom, prénom et adresse e-mail à l'adresse hartzine.concours@gmail.com ou remplissez le formulaire ci-dessous. [...]
I'd intended this as a complement to my albums rundown from last week but was waylaid in getting it together. As I hope to do every month, here is a mix of my favorite individual tracks, old and new, I came across in the last month (or, in this case, going back to mid-December). The majority of these tracks came from a handful of other people's mixes—namely The Decibel Tolls and Swan Fungus , as well the Mindbending Motorway Mix created by Broadcast's Trish Keenan, which went around the internet after news of [...]

Duncan Street, San Francisco 2010 It seems that as I get older, I am going to less shows, and with further commitments sometimes disguised as responsibility, I have to be more select on which bands/DJ's will further damage my already social security ready hearing. Last year, I did get to check out St Vincent, Hauschka, Jamie Lidell, Rocco DeLuca, Thom Yorke, LCD Soundsystem, Dan Bell, Arcade Fire, Best Coast, Greg Dulli and The Books. ______________________________ ______________ My top choices for films that I saw last year were: - Genius Within: [...]

Orcas is a collaboration between ambient artists Benoît Pioulard and The Sight Below . They recorded an excellent cover of Broadcast 's 'Until Then' from 20002s The Noise Made by People . Maybe they should collaborate some more. The mp3 below: Until Then (Broadcast cover)

das ist schon her. da hab ich mich noch, als es das letzte mal regelmäßig früh nacht und spät noch kalt war, in mehrfacher begleitung in den prenzlauer berg getraut. anlass ebendroben, der stille wasserkopf, dessen mittelalterliche wundergaze-hymnen im konzert ganz verschwinden, bzw. gar nicht erst auftreten hinter einem 30-minütigen neblig zu boden starren, auf die gitarre klopfen, alles zu einem warmen weichen schwert loopen. die freundin küsst glückwunsch. ach, hans, die wurst hatte ein ende. frohes neues, eure papierglotze. _______________MP3 Benoît Pioulard - A Coin On The Tongue [...]

"lasted" ist bereits das dritte album thomas meluchs, besser bekannt als benoît pioulard . seit seinem letzten release ist meluch viel gereist, hat nordamerika und europa besucht. trotz der vielen begegnungen ist das neue werk erst in der abgeschiedenheit zu dem geworden, was es nun ist: ein kleines meisterwerk. der noch junge mann aus portland ist seit frühester zeit interessiert an den sounds der natur, den unterschiedlichsten texturen, die hieraus erstellt werden können. so begann er zwar am piano zu spielen, folgte doch bald seiner sehnsucht nach verquickung von field recordings mit selbst erzeugten tondokumenten. veröffentlichungen fanden zunächst in [...]
I feel like we should all be jamming out to "Right Now" (and drinking Crystal Pepsi?), because this is the day we've all been waiting for. It's time to stop living in the past and start living in the moment: my annual list of the one-hundred best albums of 2010 is finally ready for you to feast your eyes on it. Look at it. Look at it how you would a naked slut as she spreads her legs for you. It's here for the taking. As is customary now, I've decided not to write blurbs for all 100 [...]
Non c'è da farsi tranne in inganno dal nome, fintamente, francese perché anche se si fa chiamare Benoît Pioulard all'anagrafe risponde al nome di Thomas Meluch ed invece di essere cresciuto ai bordi della senna viene da Portland, Oregon. Ha pubblicato una manciata di musicassette e CD-r per i propri amici prima di approdare all'etichetta indipendente Kranky Records e pubblicare nel 2006 il suo primo disco "Précis" un disco intimista fra folk ed elettronica. Lo scorso ottobre ha pubblicato il terzo disco, sempre per Kranky, intitolato "Lasted". Quello che vedete in testa [...]

In fact, benoît pioulard , is so nice he is playing Seattle twice, so if this post is too last minute, you have another chance this Wednesday at Healthy Times Fun Club. I highly recommend checking these shows out. Not only is the music sweepingly gorgeous, but he may even talk to you after the gig and let you video tape him saying hello to your friends to post on you tube like some foolish groupie who giggled way too much and acted much like a fool...*cough*...not that I have any personal experience with that scenario.

Benoît Pioulard - Lasted You ever listen to a song and know you're heard it before but you can't place when/what/where it was? This gives me that feeling to where it bothers that I can't place it. It has this cinamatic sound to it, as if it should be playing in the background of specific scene of a movie. Where the color is desaturated just a little to where you can still make out the rich colors of the Vermont forest during fall where the trail is covered with multi colored leaves. However, you only [...]

////////////////////////////// ///////////////// Discovering and absorbing music is somewhat of a second nature to me. Ever since I was a little kid I've had an obsessive fascination with any music that has triggered emotional responses within me. Growing up, I was always attracted to music that I thought to be new, different or transgressive towards the music that was forcibly peddled to my generation and I via pop radio or MTV (except maybe Blink-182, they ruled). My musically formative years, about ages 11 to 14, were spent living on a farm in rural Southern Ontario where I found [...]
Benoît Pioulard - « A Coin on the Tongue » Je n'ai jamais réussi à vous parler de Benoît Pioulard. Non que je n'avais rien à dire, ou que je n'étais pas sûre de son talent, loin de là, c'est juste que j'ai toujours remis à plus tard, oublié, remis à plus tard, et re-oublié. Si je replonge dans mes archives, il y a un brouillon intitulé « Benoît Pioulard » qui date du 24 novembre 2008. Je voulais à l'époque vous parler de Précis (2006) et de Temper (2008), [...]

The only French Canadian Douglas Martin knows is Savoir Faire . It's pretty safe to assume that Thomas Meluch doesn't lead a very ostentatious life. Not much is known about him because there's not much to be said- par for the course when you're a 26-year-old Portland transplant who records under a French Canadian name. Luckily for us, every eighteen to twenty-four months, Meluch stores his bike away, puts down the fair trade coffee, and records an album of lush, expansive ambient-folk music as Benoit Pioulard .

Eluvium The first thing I wondered when entering Cafe du Nord on my way to see Eluvium was how the new tracks would translate in a live setting. Now that is a common thought for anyone who's a fan of an act that has recently released new material. But what about an act that was strictly instrumental for years and then decided to add vocals? That is what Matthew Cooper (aka Eluvium ) presented with this year's deeply emotional Similes . The album itself is worthy addition to his discography filled with [...]

Illustration by Mike Are you having fun yet? I know I am! nobleybones mixtape yesterday & an itty ari interwebs today, but whoa-ho-ho-ho, we ain't done yet! Not even remotely! We got more mixtapes coming at you. I sure hope you cleared off a little room on your iPod, iPhone, iTouch, or, to be more topical iPad! Speaking of the iPad. I saw a photo yesterday, a photo from Saturday's launch of the iPad that struck me as so powerful, so telling, [...]
Sorry, I'm too busy watching Ichi The Killer with Nate and Nicci to post some kind of witty introduction to this week's mix tape. Better luck next time! RULES for uninitiated noobs : With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I'll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. This week's [...]
