Le Vin Nouveau is the experimental music project of Doug Organ, Trevor Rockwell, Peter Belec, Kris Schindel, Ben Weinlick and a growing collective.

In early 2013 they set out to experiment with creating soundscapes through using the same process early surrealists of the 20th century used to create exquisite corpse visual collages. The name of the project, Le Vin Nouveau is derived from a phrase that resulted when Surrealists first played the game, Exquisite Corpse, "Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau." (The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine.) In exquisite corpse projects, chance, randomness and serendipity are king. Pierre Reverdy, said this about exquisite corpses in 1918, "The more the relationship between the two juxtaposed realities is distant and true, the stronger the image will be"

Here's how this soundscape came together.
A random theme was selected. For this song the theme was...
Setting: pirate/western. Theme:power fantasy/transformation story

Each of the 4 sections of this song were made independently and entirely without hearing or knowing what the other musicians were creating. After being finished we bashed the 4 separate parts together and the result was this exquisite corpse.  Enjoy
