COPIER COLLER is a live documentation of two performances by various artists utilizing sounds provided by Franz Treichler.
Recorded live at the La Batie Festival, Geneva and La Botanique, Brussels in September 1999.
Copier.Coller (Copy.Paste) documents a project instigated by Eric Linder, programmer of the 1999 La Bâtie festival in Geneva. He asked Young Gods' Franz Treichler to prepare a sound bank of 50 samples. These samples were supplied to artists performing at the festival to be used as the basis of an original work, and this two-CD set presents the best results. Samples went from found sounds to synthesizer sounds and beat frames, providing a wide palette that allowed each artist's personal signature to come through. The not-too-attentive listeners will never suspect the existence of a common source. David Shea provides a disappointing techno piece and contributions by Bump & Grind and To Rococo Rot are nice but not impressive. Scanner's opening track is a delightful synthesis of the more conservative trends and avant-garde experimentations that can be found on this album. The two other stand-out tracks are DJ Olive's "Bank It A, B, C, D, E, F," which progresses nicely from one section to the next, and Stock Hausen & Walkman's "Only Samples From Supplied Disk Used," an aural assault reminiscent of Ground-Zero's early days, closing the set on a disorienting note (well, noise). Copier.Coller is a good example of the variety of styles found in electronica and a tribute to each artist's creativity. ~ François Couture
