GARLO : Vent de Guitares © 1995 cipaudio

"54 guitars placed on the summit of the highest sand dune in Europe. The magical song of hundreds of strings vibrating only under the wind's touch. Experimental, ambient, geo-acoustic creation; premiere mondiale"

GARLO : Vent de Guitares Fissures / Ecoute le temps to be released in England on the 17th of August 2007.

Director Alanté Kavaité speaking of the music :"I Had the chance to discover the music from a french artist, Garlo, who put 54 guitars on a sand dune & make music with strings vibrating only under the wind's touch. The abstract music is beyond description. These vibrations have nearly physical effects."

Sight & Sound - Kieron Corless "... there's much to admire, from the ambient soundscape to the subdued visual palette of wintry greys and blues."

Produced by les films d'Antoine, starring Émilie Dequenne, Mathieu Demy et Ludmila Mikaël, with extracts of Vent de Guitares 1, 2, 3, 6 & 7.

54 guitars placed on the summit of the highest sand dune in Europe. The magical song of hundreds of strings vibrating only under the wind's touch, immense sound bands crossed by harmonic waves, and by eddys of frequencies... This is Vent de Guitares, a geo-acoustic creation, a work of land art where the ephemeral act and the climatic uncertainty generate a timeless music.

Excellent ! Reviewer: jl

Absolutely beautiful record. If you're a fan of elemental shifting droneworks like Folke Rabe's 'Was??' or Alan Lamb's field recordings of abandoned electrical wires, you need to own this.
