Lieutenant Caramel is the musician and film director at the same time, he shoots movies for ears with microphone. The continuous search for poetic images, frantic interchange of subjects, twisted and broken mosaic of fuzzy elements, the breathtaking incoherence of perception, the mark of primitive life, the total absence of organization and rational thoughts. All this breathes, moves, obtains the voice and gradually becomes meaningful. Theatrical view of musique concrète, humorous and surrealistic collection of masterpieces recorded in the ten years.
Despite its evident correlations with french electroacoustic school, Lieutenant Caramel's music finds much more common issues with approach of such artists as Brume and Nurse With Wound - surrealistic and humorous, breaking rhythm of everyday life, household inventory instead of real instruments. All tracks are specially remastered for this album, originally they appears on:
