about

Since 2014, when the Mind Travels [Ici, d'ailleurs] series was created, Geins't Naït and Laurent Petitgand have been churning out project after project, constantly experimenting with sound.
The album 'Et il y'avait' is the outcome of an exceptional creative collaboration between Geins't Naït, Laurent Petitgand and British artist Scanner aka Robin Rimbaud. Geins't Naït and Laurent Petitgand have been music activists for more than 30 years, two very distinctive musicians from two different schools whose collaboration was far from obvious: the industrial and experimental scene for Thierry Mérigout (the last active member of the group Geins't Naït) and film music for Laurent Petitgand, known in particular for his long collaboration with director Wim Wenders. At first sight, the two artists have distinct visions, but share common backgrounds... GN & L. Petitgand were recently celebrated in a documentary directed by Otomo de Manuel: 'So Young But So Cold', a feature-length film about Nancy's Punk/No Wave scene, which will be released in early 2024 on [DVD + CD] as part of the More Over collection (Kas Product, Mathématiques modernes) on the Ici, d'ailleurs label.

As with the 'OLA' album, the GN+LP duo is joined by an artist who is far from unknown to ambient and IDM fans: Scanner. The Londoner is a virtuoso of sound collage, one of the most active on the underground electronic scene since the 90s. He has released over twenty albums on labels as prestigious as Sub Rosa and New electronica. A committed collaborator, he has worked with a host of artists over the course of his career, including Gareth Davis and Alva Noto. Siril Tiebo, cellist, contemporary artist and performer, who appears on several tracks on "Idiot LP1" and "Idiot Scan", is also on board for this new album.

This new album, "Et il y'avait", has a different feel to its predecessor, "OLA". Quieter and more atmospheric, "Et il y'avait" leans more towards dark-ambient this time round, but still features plenty of industrial sounds. "Et il y'avait' by Geins't Naït, Laurent Petitgand & Scanner is highly recommended for fans of Coil, Caroline K or Nurse with Wound.
