Montreal-based artist Myriam Gendron performs live at Le Guess Who? 2024 following the release of her new album 'Mayday'.

About
Before the release of her first record a decade ago, Quebecois musician Myriam Gendron was busking in Paris, singing Leonard Cohen songs. In a striking full-circle moment, the artist's newest release, 'Mayday', sees her inching closer than ever to the icon's delicate balance of light and darkness. Singing in English and in French, Gendron reminds the listener that even the most pitch-black night is but a transactional state - this too shall pass.

About a year ago I was asked to participate on an Eurovision themed remix compilation which sadly didn't see the daylight. I didn't see any other alternative than to remix "Cha Cha Cha" of our national treasure Käärijä. Finally decided to put it here:)

"Le dispositif de création musicale d’Agnès Gayraud examine l’écriture, la composition et l’interprétation d’une chanson d’amour. Prenant la forme d’un studio d’enregistrement sonore, l’œuvre invite à cinq reprises des groupes ou interprètes de styles musicaux divers à jouer une reprise de leur choix selon des règles bien précises. Toutes les deux heures, les musicien·nes tirent une carte parmi les 69 stratégies obliques pour faire des chansons d’amour, qui s’inspirent du jeu conçu en 1975 par Brian Eno et Peter Schmidt (Oblique strategies: Over one hundred worthwhile dilemmas, « Stratégies obliques : Plus de cent dilemmes utiles ») destiné à libérer, par quelques conseils énigmatiques, les artistes dans le doute. Issues d’ouvrages littéraires et théoriques, de livres de psychologie ou de Chat GPT, de textos intimes ou d’anecdotes personnelles, les cartes d’Agnès Gayraud permettent de créer les conditions d’une réappropriation sincère et inventive de chansons d’amour populaires." 

Merci à Agnès Gayraud pour l'invitation et à Matthieu Reynaud pour la technique studio.
