Duo Karen YOUNG & Eric AUCLAIR :: ElectroBeatniks will soon fly to London, UK for a showcase presentation of its upcoming CD at London Calling 2008. This first international invitation for the Duo puts us in such joy, we decided to invite fans and friends to a pre-London Calling Concert this Thursday June 12th at 8:00pm at Montreal’s Chapelle historique du Bon-Pasteur.
Duo Karen YOUNG & Eric AUCLAIR :: ElectroBeatniks is presently closing in on final production stage of it s first CD at Montreal’s Karisma Studio. This very unique musical project-jazz electro croos generation & genre - CD’s launch will surely raise lots of attention. Meanwhile, it is with great pleasure that Karen and Eric accepted CIRPA’s invitation - Canadian Independent Record Production Association - to showcase, as part of the first Canadian delegation at London Calling, to representatives of the UK and international live and recording music programmers participating to this important international music event.
Duo YOUNG & AUCLAIR :: ElectroBeatniks is the first of Karen’s projects bearing only her lyrics. The Duo also co-wrote 100% of all its music, while Eric Auclair is credited for 200% of the sampling and sound treatment. As always with Karen, this is great fusion. But the most interesting aspect of their achievement lies in their cross genre&generation fusion. This, from last year’s Roseq tour programme, is how their concert is presented.
Duo YOUNG & AUCLAIR :: ElectroBeatniks - A true live performance. With Karen Young’s signature, you can be certain it is great. Voice and double bass in duo is a favorite jazz combo. Here it comes with a +: Eric AUCLAIR’s sampling-pre-recorded and live. Powerful and rich or lace-like textures are used as sound-track to Karen’s crystal-clear voice and poetic songs. Electro-Beatniks, the title to this Duo concert and upcoming CD brings their jazz into the 21st century. Original songs, the incomparable voice of Karen YOUNG and the flowing bass lines of Eric AUCLAIR.
From songs to jazz, improv to sampling, and Ars Nova to slam. This exquisite concert is not to be missed!
