Evan Caminiti

Evan Caminiti's busy work with Barn Owl and Higuma didn't preclude him from the solo route either, with his 2010 effort for Three Lobed Recordings being an attractively dark example of his approach to guitar (and not simply due to the album cover art). Little surprise too that West Winds starts off not only with the wonderfully titled "Night of the Archon" but that it sounds simultaneously sweetly beautiful and darkly menacing; if it's not quite whistling past a graveyard...

Diatribes

Diatribes are Laurent Peter/D'incise (laptop, objects, treatements), Cyril Bondi (drums, percussions) and Gael Riondel (tenor & alto saxophones, clarinet, fluteis).
The trio starts its existence under another name "d'incise d'ou inductions " in a Geneva basement in winter 2004.

The saxophone and drums get confused with the treatment of their own sound, in a primary dance, where construction and destruction coexist, and envy and disgust unite.
