Lady Gaga on USC course Sociology of Fame (Interview July 26, 2011)

Palais Des Bauzards persued an industrial and electronic variant of the sound that swept into vogue during the first half of the '80s. Initially the group was formed in 1983 in the Belgian city of Louvain by Danny Jacobs, Dirk Van Regenmortel, Chris Serré (+2006), Frank De Wit and Rudy Stuyckens. In 1983 they released two tracks on the Mask Live LP together with Front 242. In the three following years many of their home recorded tracks were published on various cassette tape labels: Wij Zijn België (ZZZ), X-Mas compilation (Riot tapes), Cabbage part one (Cauchy Productions), Tape-O-Matix (the Cassette Factory), Mad In Belgium (3Rio tapes), Flanders on the Rocks  (the Cassette Factory), International Audio Compilation (3 Rio tapes). In 1984, new artwork "Going under", "In the grassfield", "Knowing too much" was recorded and produced by Ludo Camberlin at the Anything But Productions studio. 

Since the beginning of the 21st century, many of their original material can be found on playlists around Europe and the USA. Many songs will be reissued on LP in the near future. About 4 LP-projects are about to be completed in 2014.

This track 'going under' is my personal tribute to Chris Serré, who decided to leave this world in 2006. A commemoration to Chris:

I can’t swim
And won’t reach the dark
I’m going under and lost the fight

A land in the atmosphere (bis)
I’m going under and lost the fight

You will rule the nation
And built a new creation
That’s why I lost the fight
I’m going under, I’m going down…

© 1985, by Palais Des Bauzards (composition: Kris Serré, words: Danny Jacobs)

 .. (onze) woorden van decennia geleden, door jou op (onze) muziek gezet
.. met die repetitieve basgitaar die menig van onze nummers structuur gaf
.. klanken van weleer, ze blijven levenslang gegrift in mijn geheugen.
.. ook mijn gedachten aan jou blijven, Kris, mijn compagnon de route uit vroegere tijden.

lyrics
This is the key 
For the next speaker
This is the key
I've lost the fight

I'm going under
I'm going down

I can't swing
And won't reach the dark
I'm going under
And I've lost the fight 

I'm going under
I'm going under

You will wear the uniform
But I'm the junk 
And I've lost the fight 
Lost the fight

I'm going under
I'm going down

A land in the atmosphere 
I'm going under
And I've lost the fight

I'm going under
I'm going under

You will rule the nation
And built a new creation 
That's why I've lost the fight

I'm going under
I'm going under

He's goes down...

About:
Judy Kang is unlike any violinist you’ve ever heard. “Most likely the only musician to have worked with both Pierre Boulez and Lady Gaga,” as the New York Times put it, Kang marries lively, evocative classical playing with such disparate influences as Bjork-inspired vocals, indie, electronica and hip-hop. Her multi-instrumental compositions, rooted in a love of classical and chamber music, explore how to make violin music for modern audiences in beautiful and often surprising ways.

Judy first picked up a violin at the age of four, memorizing a piece at her very first lesson in just half an hour and winning competitions in her first year of playing. At 11, she auditioned (with a broken wrist) for the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music, and she became their youngest graduate at 17. At 19, she earned her Masters Degree at Julliard. And if that wasn’t achievement enough, she went on to become the first graduate, with high honors, of the prestigious Artist Diploma at the Manhattan School of Music.

Achievements and accolades have been rolling in since: a place in Academy Award-winning composer and electronic music pioneer Ryuichi Sakamoto’s trio, a sold-out debut at Carnegie Hall and a spot on Lady Gaga’s MonsterBall World Tour. In her studies, and in collaborating with a wide variety of artists, Judy has made her life’s work a project in which music is both personal and non-traditional.

With Gaga, Judy explored pure pop indulgence. With Sakamoto, she considered ways to splice time-honored musical styles with our most contemporary sounds. And with her self-titled debut, she presents a hybrid of these seemingly disparate influences. Channeling Grimes on a Stradivarius, Judy Kang challenges our notions of classical and contemporary music, blurring the line between them in the process.
