Artist:	LEJEUNE, JACQUES
Title:	Le Cantique des Cantiques
Label:	INA GRM (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$22.00
Catalog #:	INA 1011

Mid-90s release, repressed. One long piece ("The Song of Songs"), combines Egyptian erotic ditties, Hebrew, Lebanese and Transjordanian love songs and Syrian wedding chants that treat the couple as king and queen for the duration of the wedding fest," with the idea of transforming text into sounds. "His approach essentially reflects a preoccupation with analogies and image ambiguities, which he interprets in an essentially terratological polyfiguration closely associating the living with the abstract." Another intensely mind liberating vocal/electronic hybrid.

"Lejeune's first foray into INA-GRM's EP series, after a bunch of stellar LP's and CD's (L'Invitation au Depart, Le Cantique des Cantiques, and of course Messe aux Oiseaux ('Mass with Birds')). Here he's paired with saxophone virtuoso Daniel Kientzy (previous CD on INA-GRM, 'ax Computer, rocks...), who provides an endless stream of squeaks & blat to the otherwise synthesized/plundered univers of Herr. Lejeune. Quotes abound: 'Gruel is a healthy food which calms the pangs of hunger, is easily digested not very restorative.' Conversely, 'Animal tongues do not exceed the scope of their intelligence; but the human tongue texture, enrobed in its various membranes, heralds the sublime purpose for which it is destined.' Sexy, sexy stuff indeed..." -- Hrvatski.
