Label: Pictoplasma Publishing Notify Me (What is this?)
Pictoplasma Publishing present their first monograph, a book & DVD by the French duo Gangpol & Mit, Faits Divers. Gangpol & Mit are well-known for their unparalleled symbiosis of vision and sound. Starting in 2002, Guillaume Castagné and Sylvain Quément have continuously created their own universe of deviant cartoons and technicolor anthems. Now, for the first time, this unique love-hate relationship between sonics and visuals can be enjoyed on a DVD. The accompanying book presents the twisted graphical worlds as original movie posters and scene shots of the most thrilling episodes. These tracks invite you on journeys to exotic places and deliver scenes straight from doomsday. Melodies crush and rebuild in various styles, mixing sources dug out deep from a huge digital sandbox: coconut swings, cinematic Italian synths, ghetto can sounds and imaginary folklores. Behind the technicolor frenzy and DIY entertainment, an absurd and uncanny dimension unfolds: hit-and-run canine casualties, technological voodoo apocalypses and terrorist confetti exploding everywhere. The geometrical bestiary is being hunted around the globe and a feast of techno-cannibalism is celebrated on the "Island Of Da Motherboard Slaughter." Gangpol & Mit have toured extensively through Europe and America, including concerts in New York, Montreal, Mexico and Argentina. In 2007, they toured Japan with performances in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and the Kanazawa Museum. They continue to contribute to exhibitions and run workshops for artists, designers and musicians. Together with Mami Chan and Norman Bambi (Juicy Panic), they keep touring with the Carton Park project for children. Also, Guillaume just published the children's book ABC Des Verbes. The DVD is in PAL format and features 18 tracks with a 32-page book.Need more info? Try an
