about

Joseph Carey Merrick embodies the idea, already obvious on my previous album My animal is possible (Alien 8 Recordings), to communicate with monsters and to exorcise my monstrousness through sound spectres. Here, the monstrousness means the possibility of a relation with the imperceptible, it is the advent of quite other sense which never can be merged with the meaning. Through this suite of electronic "pop" songs for voice, bass and computer I try to make get through my voice Joseph Carey Merrick’s voice. It is about a rite of ownership of / by another, similar to a small Ouija board, where my body and my mouth become this famous way to communicate with the spirits.
