A tribute to the French poet, novelist, actor and playwright Antonin Artaud (1896-1948), featuring Marc Hurtado (Etant Donnés), Marc Caro (director of cult films such as Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children), guitarist Alice Botté, Phil Von (Von Magnet), Emmanuel Hubaut (Tétines Noires), and Barkosina (Years Of Denial).

Antonin Artaud was a critic of conformity, an enemy of convention, and a member of the Surrealists. Trapped by his own madness, he left behind an incandescent literary oeuvre of unparalleled verbal and symbolic power, infusing vibrant emotions, visionary philosophical reflection, indomitable verve and savage discourse into each of his texts. The lucidity with which he described his mental illness and tried to contain his visible delusions through art therapy allowed him to experiment in the asylum, leading to an atheistic form of Ecstatic Passion. Never has a writer documented and witnessed so well the situation of a person suffering from deep depression, depersonalisation and behavioural disorders.

Re-reading his complete works during the pandemic, Pedro decided to revive his HIV+ power-noise project and compose a new uncompromising album to pay homage to this immense provocative genius. Recorded while in seclusion and only with old Korg synthesizers, industrial sequences and shredded tapes. Ltd x 300 copies n a digipak.
