La civilisation de la graine

by M'Z

supported by

TheEliteExtremophile This is an instrumental album which features a lot of flashy playing and creative passages. Alongside traditional prog motifs, more uncommon elements crop up too. For example, “Assemblée Populaire” has hip-hop influenced drumming, and “La spiritualité Marketing” has some Indic flavors.

Mike (ProgTracks) This new album has so many moods that scratch a particular musical itch, that it's difficult to pick a favorite track. Excellent musicianship and songcrafting throughout.

about

"La civilisation de la graine", the third album of the project, is a musical reflection on the essence of our patriarchal organizations and our tendency to organize ourselves into civilizations, certainly elegant but undeniably unfair, ephemeral, violent and wobbly. 8 pieces to try to analyze these phenomena.
Des Récits :
It is a criticism of the propaganda which is expressed almost permanently, in the civilizations which are created, to maintain an artificial feeling of coherence and common history.
Edifions des temples absurdes :
It is an amusement about the time, intelligence, skill, science and energy expended in constructing edifices to the glory of ever more unique and ever more masculine gods, concentrating the most power into a single entity.
Au confort de la mémoire qui sublime :
It's an ode to nostalgia, the ability of the brain to transform a lived moment into a comfortable memory, regardless of the objective quality of the moment at the start. A weapon that wreaks havoc in the hands of manipulators of all kinds.
Assemblée Populaire :
It is first of all, an amusement on the difficulty of democratic expression and also a criticism of the shortcut proposed by our civilizations, which suggest that wisdom would be a masculine virtue, finally a criticism of the tendency to overexpression / overexposure masculine in assemblies, public spaces of all kinds.
La spiritualité Marketing :
It is a criticism of the recovery of the spiritual essence of the human being by the powers that be, to direct this energy for control purposes, towards official propaganda, the one that should be followed by all and all so that the collective narrative works.
Bureaucratie bémol :
It is a noisy piece, critical of the technocratic aspect taken by civilizations which tend almost systematically towards an overproduction of laws, decrees, various administrative documents, and this skilful way of transforming human subjects into files, easier to mistreat.
Enquête payenne :
It is a "balm" song, which aims to soothe the soul. A way to dialogue with the sapiens of all times, from the root and without filters, without the intermediary of learning or indoctrination (in its most extreme version) of the customs of the lands in which one resides.
Ishtar dance :
It is counter-propaganda, the expression of the violence generated by the systematic injustice of successive civilizations. It is criticism until rejection, the proposal of the extreme opposite of what we know today, as a response, an overload of the opposite balance. Fascinating, terrifying or seductive but just as unfair as the current dogma, always far from nuance but perhaps unfortunately necessary to find balance one day...
A few lines of thought to try to explain the intentions of this music, which, I hope, will better translate into notes the feelings described above.

The excellent visual is Stéphanie Artaud who designed it: alias "la griffarde" and who also does great tattoos, films, music... (among others).

I can't wait to get your feedback, really.
Thanks.
Mathieu TORRES

This is truly one of the finest Zeuhl albums I have ever heard, right there with the best Magma, along with Eskaton, Ga'an and even a bit of King Crimson. It's all here, heavy bass, electric piano, synths, piano, sax, female voices, guitar and drums. Aurélie Saintecroix has such an incredible voice even though it's largely wordless, her performance blew me away. Plus the compositions are long but amazing throughout, no dead spots.

Thanks to the nice-endof-year-offer I came to fill this gap in my private worm collection (a, pardon me, worm hole, so to speak :-)) Wonderful reminiscence to many good things past (Canterbury, 70s prog, folk rock) with a good sense of humour and great ideas (both in the songwriting & in the arrangements) .
