Exposition Gainsbourg + Don't Try This At Home

Much excitement at L'Amour Electronique HQ. In a few days we head to Paris to see l'Exposition Gainsbourg at the Cité de la Musique.




























They've made a fun interactive typewriter mini-site with tons of Serge related info and trivia (you can reach it by clicking the Gainsbourg link here.

Our trip has also, rather luckily, coincided with a performance by off-the-wall electronic troupe The Chap, alongside the C86/Mary Chain sounds of Crystal Stilts, and a Strasbourgian duo called Electric Electric, who play epileptic dancing noise! It promises to be a good trip.


In other news: Last Thursday I spent a few happy hours taking apart an old radio and then conjuring free-jazz electronic noise out of its innards with my bare hands.

NB: DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS! 
ESPECIALLY NOT WITH ANYTHING PLUGGED INTO THE MAINS!!!!!!!
