JONATHAN FITOUSSI - Diagonals (Part. 2)

Pierre Bastien orchestrates his meccano marionettes on Tinkle Twang ‘n Tootle to form the charming imaginative ensemble that he’s been known for since the late 80s.

Equal parts composer, inventor, mechanic, and performer - Bastien translates his imagination into instruments and compositions that defy any musical categories. Whether it’s preparing instruments like playing a trumpet underwater or through a kazoo, using belt-driven motors and mechanical components to perform cumbersome yet surprisingly musical operations on traditional instruments and household items, or using a fan to hit the strings of a kundi harp with flowing paper - Bastien’s love for tone, rhythm, noise and harmony is poetically reflected across his quite extensive oeuvre.

Playful and melancholic, the sound sculptures that Bastien invents and plays with are partly inspired by the work of Raymond Roussel, a visionary French author who at the turn of the 20th century wrote a unique form of literature which inspired and guided artists from the surrealist and pataphysical movement and was declared by Michel Foucault as one of structuralism's founding fathers. On that note, the influence of literature and syntax on Bastien’s work cuts all the way through to the palindromes he uses for his track titles - which, much like his machines, infinitely loop.

True to it’s adorable title, Tinkle Twang ‘n Tootle is a music box of unfolding whimsical structures, half broken rhythms, detuned harmonies, and fantastical sound collages that evoke a childlike sense of wonder and an urge to explore the spaces in between the sounds.

Lyrics -

[Verse]
Am I the last flame you lit
Am I still burning?
Is there still heat on the sheets
Where I lay
My mind feels as heavy as your words hit
And the sweat drips down my back 

With all I’ve done
Maybe I’ve been living the wrong way

But what am I to do?

[Chorus]
I guess I’m a coward
I guess I’m lost in this
I guess it’s easier for you 

[Verse]
I pushed them back 
I took time to see
You put up a front
Right in front of me
But darling was it worth it
Tell me was it worth it

You said we’re both hurting
Now we breathe
Far too deep
Tell me was it worth it
To you

[Chorus]
I guess I’m a coward
I guess I’m lost in this
I guess it’s easier for you 

I guess I’m a coward
I guess I’m lost in this 
(Maybe I’ve been living the wrong way)
I guess it’s easier for you 

[Bridge]
Now we breathe
Far too deep 

[Chorus]
I guess I’m a coward
I guess I’m lost in this
I guess it’s easier for you 

I guess I’m a coward
I guess I’m lost in this 
(Maybe I’ve been living the wrong way)
I guess it’s easier for you

LYRICS:

Paper white bark, paper white bark
I’m stretched out on the road, stretched out on the road
A draw in the dark, you draw me so stark
I’m stretched out on the road, stretched out on the road

Can I reach you this time? 
Can I reach you this time?

Each time that I go to swim
I feel the letting go of pins
Each time my mind clattering
I feel a heavy weight go sailing

Can I reach you this time? 
Can I reach you this time?

Branches blow
Move us along
In the night glow
Losing your song

Branches blow
Move us along
In the night glow
Losing your song

Paper white bark, paper white bark
I’m stretched out on the road
