About the sun and the moon...
La Mort
De L'Hippocampe.
Behind this project is Jérôme Fontan... who sadly
passed
away last year. Of course he is known for his elektro project
Porn.Darsteller (see Enfant03
and Enfant04)
. That was ten years ago. After Porn.Darsteller stopped he focussed
first on music for a silent film (El Sexto Sentido,
Spain 1928) and after that on La Mort
De L'Hippocampe.
La Mort
De L'Hippocampe is
something very different from Porn.Darsteller. There is not much pop in
this music and there is not much elektro in it either... it has
experimental, industrial
and classical sides, all sounds are done with analog equipment like
Minimoog and tape echo, and acoustic instruments. This album is
somewhere between cabaret, Die Todliche Doris and
Schönberg…
This project was much more of a performance group centered around
Jérôme Fontan then a studio project. The LP was
planned to
be a co-production between Enfant Terrible
and Verbascripta, the label founded by Jérôme. The
label
is continued by the other members of La Mort De L'Hippocampe.
A
second album of La
Mort De L'Hippocampe will be released
later, also as a co-production between Enfant Terrible and Verbascripta.
