Show 1017: 𝓝𝓪𝓾𝓯𝓻𝓪𝓰𝓮 : 𝐹𝓁𝑒𝒸𝒽𝑒𝓈 𝒹’𝑒𝓉𝓇𝒶𝓃𝑔𝑒𝓈 𝒿𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈 ; 𝓃𝓊𝒾𝓉𝓈 𝓈𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒸𝑒 𝒹𝑒 𝓁𝒾𝒷𝑒𝓇𝓉𝑒, by XM Tran (La Mousson/Jet fm)

https://archive.org/details/radia_s53_n1017_jetfm_naufrage-lamousson-by-xmtran

A live performance recorded in Les Ateliers Magellan, Nantes, France, on the 4th of July 2024.

With: XM Tran, sound, voices, linocut, ink on paper & Barylin Tone, baritone guitar, objects.

About the performance:
“𝓝𝓪𝓾𝓯𝓻𝓪𝓰𝓮”. Première édition : 𝐹𝓁𝑒𝒸𝒽𝑒𝓈 𝒹’𝑒𝓉𝓇𝒶𝓃𝑔𝑒𝓈 𝒿𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈 ; 𝓃𝓊𝒾𝓉𝓈 𝓈𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒸𝑒 𝒹𝑒 𝓁𝒾𝒷𝑒𝓇𝓉𝑒.
En 1904 est édité le livre “Les Naufragés de la Barbade”, qui décrit l’arrivée accidentelle d’une famille blanche sur une île Caribéenne. Les personnages sont tour à tour horrifiés du manque de confort local, apeurés et fascinés par les “sauvages” peuplant les lieux, et amusés de tuer des espèces animales pour le sport. En tant qu’enfant d’exilé vietnamien dont les trajectoires en bateau ne sont pas qu’accidents de parcours, cette lecture se transforme en une collection d’un livre entier d’œuvres poétiques, dans un élan de réappropriation décoloniale.

“𝓢𝓲𝓷𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰”. First edition: 𝒜𝓇𝓇𝑜𝓌𝓈 𝑜𝒻 𝓈𝓉𝓇𝒶𝓃𝑔𝑒 𝒹𝒶𝓎𝓈; 𝓃𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉𝓈 𝓈𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒸𝑒 𝑜𝒻 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝑒𝒹𝑜𝓂. The book “The Castaways of Barbados” was published in 1904 and describes the accidental arrival of a white family on a Caribbean island. The characters are first horrified by the lack of local comfort, then frightened and fascinated by the “savages” populating the place, as well as amused to kill animals for sport. As a child of a Vietnamese refugee whose ship trajectories are not just accidental mishaps, the book turns into a collection of deeply personal and decolonial poetic works.

About the artist:
En tant que personne queer issue de la diaspora vietnamienne, le travail artistique de XM TRAN est centré sur la question de l’identité, et notamment sur le vide laissé par l’exil, avec la nécessité de recréer des fictions pour réparer la mémoire familiale. En célébrant la diversité des identités de la diaspora vietnamienne, l’artiste aspire à mettre en lumière ses fantômes grâce à des pratiques révolutionnaires comme la création sonore, la poésie et la linogravure, entre mythologies techniques et paysages fantasmés.

As a queer person of Vietnamese descent, XM TRAN’s artistic work focuses on the issue of identity, and in particular on the void left by exile, with the need to recreate fictions to repair family memory. By celebrating the diversity of identities of the Vietnamese diaspora, the artist aspires to highlight their ghosts through revolutionary practices such as sound creation, poetry and linocut, between technical mythologies and fantasized landscapes.

Show 916: Recalcitrant Electronics by Julien Mérieau (Jet fm)

Recalcitrant Electronics

Without apparent thematic, assembled like a string of pearls this piece stages some formal obsessions of Mulot’s work since its origins. Micro-manifesto and lesson of sound art, blow of projector in the meanders of the archives it is a possible synthesis, floating, not exhaustive of several aesthetic obsessions, which are akin with the clandestinity of the radio pirates, the will to go further in the explorations of the radio medium.

A large part of the fragments originates from our private collection whose physical supports and origins are very varied (Found Sound) not to say improbable, saved at arm’s length, when they are not stolen or obtained under threat. The others are methodically punctured from a file conceived for the real time mixing, a hudge sorting station, a table of the elements and a visionary building site, infinitely ramified, whose finality would relate to a kind of total mix.

The proposal also recycles some debris of unfinished musical pieces. Its title is borrowed from one of the vocal fragments used in the piece. Basically, it can be considered as an additional track to the radio vinyl Quartz Locked, released by Warm in 2015, another synthesis, fragmentary, of more than twenty years of radio experiments in the shadow of any legal framework, of the contemporary art network and of the supposed expectation of an audience that should never accept anything less than dazzling, solar insurrections and other gestures pertaining to radical poetry. Listening with headphones strongly recommended.

Enfant terrible of french photography, willingly polemist and irreverent his dismissal led him to found with a reduced team a large-scale pirate station, in a way to set up his own art gallery, transposing years of plastic, conceptual or visual arts concerns to sound arts and programming. Inspired by Dadaism, Situationism and the culture of Industrial Music this project has continued to multiply experiments and explorations, much of which remains in the archives. A Journal recounting this adventure, between existential chronicle, prose poetry and theoretical fragments should be published in 2023. Julien Mérieau is also the founder and continuator of the following projects: La Nouvelle Photographie, Cinéma Immobile, La Chambre Introuvable. According to his friend Gerard Malanga, Julien Mérieau is said as “the best keep France’s secret.”

Recalcitrant Electronics

Sans thématique apparente, montée comme un collier de perles, cette pièce met en scène quelques obsessions formelles du travail Mulot depuis ses origines. Micro-manifeste et leçon d’art sonore, coup de projecteur dans les méandres des archives, elle est une synthèse possible, flottante, non exhaustive de certaines obsessions esthétiques, lesquelles ne sont pas sans lien avec la clandestinité des radio pirates, la volonté d’aller plus loin dans les explorations du média radio. Une grande partie des fragments s’origine de notre collection privée dont les supports physiques et les provenances sont très variés (Found Sound) pour ne pas dire improbables, sauvés à bout de bras, quand ils ne sont pas dérobés voire obtenus sous la menace. Les autres sont méthodiquement ponctionnées à partir d’un dossier conçu pour le mixage en temps réel, véritable gare de triage, tableau des éléments et chantier visionnaire, infiniment ramifié, dont la finalité relèverait d’une sorte de mix total. La proposition recycle aussi quelques débris de pièces musicales non abouties ou inachevées. Son titre est emprunté à l’un des fragments vocaux, magnifique, utilisé dans la pièce. Au fond, on peut la considérer comme un morceau additionnel au vinyle radiophonique Quartz Locked, paru chez Warm en 2015, une autre synthèse, fragmentaire, de plus de vingt ans d’expériences radio à l’ombre de tout cadre légal, des milieux de l’art et de l’attente supposée d’un auditoire qui ne devrait jamais rien accepter en deçà de l’éblouissement, des insurrections solaires et autres gestes relevant de la poésie radicale. Écoute au casque fortement recommandée.

Photographe abstrait, auteur et artiste sonore, Julien Mérieau est le fondateur de la bien nommée Radio Mulot aka France Museau (1997-2022). Enfant terrible de la photographie, volontiers polémiste et irrévérencieux, sa mise au banc l’aura conduit à fonder avec une équipe réduite une station pirate de grande envergure, de sorte à monter en quelque sorte sa propre galerie d’art, transposant des années de préoccupations plastiques, conceptuelles ou relevant des arts visuels vers les arts sonores et la programmation. Inspirée du dadaïsme, du situationnisme ou encore de la culture des musiques industrielles, ce projet n’a cessé de multiplier expériences et explorations, dont une grande part subsiste dans les archives. Un Journal relatant cette aventure, entre chronique existentielle, poésie en prose et fragments théoriques, devrait paraître courant 2023. Julien Mérieau est aussi le fondateur et continuateur des projets suivants : La Nouvelle Photographie, le Cinéma Immobile, La Chambre Introuvable.
