I Like The Noise

Léonie Pernet is back with her third album, Poèmes Pulvérisés, a compelling, hard-hitting electro-pop odyssey. Constructing a hypnotic soundscape where hope and chaos converge, this third opus is both an invocation to the dancefloor and a cinematic call to resistance.

Lyrics:
Dans la rue des tenues charmantes
Maquillé comme mon fiancé
Garcon fille l´allure stupéfiante
Habillé comme ma fiancée
Cheveux longs cheveux blonds colorés
Toute nue dans une boite en fer
Il est bel il est beau décrié
L´outragé mais j´en ai rien à faire

J´ai pas envie de la voir nue
J´ai pas envie de le voir nu
Et j´aime cette fille aux cheveux longs
Et ce garcon qui pourrait dire non

Et on se prend la main
Et on se prend la main
Une fille au masculin
Un garcon au féminin

Des visages dans des cheveux d´or
Qui oublient leur vertue
Mais c´est pas vrai qu´ils ont l´air d´un conquistador
Assexués une fois devetus
Quoi croire quand on les voit comme ca
Excitant toutes les petites filles
Pourquoi on y croit plus comme ca
Isolé dans un corps presqu´il

Et on se prend la main
Et on se prend la main
Une fille au masculin
Un garcon au féminin

Des robes longues pour tous les garcons
Habillés comme ma fiancee
Pour des filles sans contrefacon
Maquillées comme mon fiancé
Le grand choc pour les plus vicieux
C´est bientot la chasse aux sorcières
Ambigüe jusqu´au fond des yeux
Le retour de Jupiter

J´ai pas envie de la voir nue
J´ai pas envie de le voir nu
Et j´aime cette fille aux cheveux longs
Et ce garcon qui pourrait dire non

Et on se prend la main
Et on se prend la main
Une fille au masculin
Un garcon au féminin

2004: Miss Kittin - I COM: 10. "3eme Sexe"

This classic minimal music album is now available again on vinyl for the first time since the 70s.

https://www.aguirrerecords.com/collections/aguirre-records/products/terry-riley-persian-surgery-dervishes-2xlp

Californian composer Terry Riley’s In C, first issued on vinyl in 1968, is widely acknowledged as a Minimalist landmark that altered the course of twentieth-century music. His influential album A Rainbow In Curved Air, which appeared the following year, is a vivid fusion of rock and raga, jazz and psychedelia realised through overdubbing on an 8-track machine which had recently been installed at the studios of Columbia Records.  

By the early 70s Riley had come to feel that scores were a distraction. Faithful interpretation of an already written piece was a deviation from the true purpose of making music, which was spiritual quest. Fortunately, some of those live performances, personal journeys towards a state of transcendence, were captured on tape. Persian Surgery Dervishes, issued initially on the French label Shandar, features two such concerts for electric organ and reel-to-reel delay, one recorded in Los Angeles on 18th April 1971, the other in Paris on 24th May 1972.

At the start of that decade Riley became a dedicated student of the great Hindustani singer Pandit Pran Nath. Looking into North Indian classical tradition he found correspondences to modal and cyclic ideas that he was already working on. In 1971, as a way to learn more, Riley himself started teaching Indian music at Mills College, in Oakland. That experience fed directly into his solo keyboard performances, but other influences were also shaping the music heard on Persian Surgery Dervishes. Personal research into ancient Persian culture and the poetry of Rumi lit up his imagination, while the repetitive swirling of Sufi devotional music from North Africa, which Riley had first encountered in Europe during the early 60s, reverberates through these performances. Jazz, as conceived by such masters such as Bill Evans and John Coltrane, is also present as an enduring source of inspiration. 

The Californian version of Persian Surgery Dervishes starts with low dark tones, dense and brooding like a huddled human figure, deep in introspection. But as the improvisation unfolds Riley’s buoyant spirit asserts itself, spiralling out in ecstatic coils, as though liberated from the grip of body consciousness. The Parisian concert conveys a different mood, brighter and more open in texture, more relaxed from the outset and breathing with greater freedom as it takes flight. 

Echoes of Terry Riley’s inspired music have spread far and wide - into progressive rock, New Age and ambient soundings, film soundtracks, blissed-out electronica and dance-floor trance. His fluent and hypnotic keyboard playing can be heard as part of a continuum, transmitting energies from ancient and distant musical sources into the living here and now. Persian Surgery Dervishes is a significant part of that picture, a mesmerising record of a vital stage in Riley’s ongoing quest for connection with the universal mind and the sublime music that flows ceaselessly from it. 

“Music is my spiritual path. It’s my way of finding out who I am.”  Terry Riley, in 1976
