2)Laudanum (FRANCE)

His album "Froids", released at Le Village Vert in 2000, had revealed the talents of the French author of Matthieu Malon. He had already underlined his desire for venturing on the electronic ways. A profitable meeting with label monopsone enabled him to do a modern version of his parallel project, laudanum.

After the release of an electro synthetic Ep ("substracks#2"- mops002 - with Epic45), laudanum continues his collaboration and signs a first album of a great richness with "system:on".

Recorded with the faithful ones of always (PE and Terence Briand), Matthieu enjoys causing improbable as much as unexpected and happy meetings (particularly a collaboration with a well-known member of the Scottish scene, here under the name of Saint-Aidan). Mixing machines and organic matter, this electro dealing with guitars plays with our emotions, from the most cheerful to the most melancholy. We will stamp our feet and let our mind wander.

Laudanum allows Matthieu to express his other passions, in particular his love for the cinema that we share throughout the album. Ten titles and as many borrowings that Matthieu takes a malicious pleasure to unearth.

So after "system:on" and a remixed version of the album "laudanum:remixed", Matthieu is now working on his second album, "your place & time will be mine", which will appear at spring 2006. 13 tracks for the 13th release of monopsone. Lot of collaborations come to enrich laudanum ’s universe : T, Angil, Cavil, Christian Quermalet, Laetitia Sheriff and more.
