Underground – good news for 2023!

Underground – good news for 2023!

New albums are in preparation. Unreleased, nothing but unreleased material! Underground music, for sure: we took some out of the safe, we created and produced others at the Audiorama studio. And to celebrate this and also the end of this year 2022, we offer you 20% on any purchase of our records! Indeed, the year 2023 is off to a good start at Audiorama: 2 albums planned for the 1st quarter, just that!

Danger – Combo Combo

We unearth unreleased material from the second half of the seventies. Corbo Combo and Danger are 2 underground bands from Strasbourg which foreshadowed Alesia Cosmos in many respects. Totally improvised, radical music perpetrated by activist musicians from the Strasbourg underground, some of whom are future members of Alesia Cosmos.

You will listen to 2 unreleased concerts in Mulhouse and Strasbourg at the end of the 1970s. With Michel Froehly (bass and guitar), Dominique Gasser (sax), Bruno de Chénerilles (guitar, drums) and Marie-Berthe Servier (vocals).

This double CD album will be released on the Polish industrial/noise/experimental label Impulsy Stetoskopu.

Alien Disko

A parallel project to Alesia Cosmos, which brings together two of its members. Bruno de Chénerilles (guitar, moog, live electronics) and Pierre Zeidler (clarinets, sax) recorded and mixed in October and November 2022 at the Audiorama studio.

And there, you will listen to a series of radical improvisations in duet, an elaborate mix at the borders of free, noise, electro, jazz… with acoustic, electric instruments and electronic treatments.

The CD album will be released on the Audiorama label in the spring of 2023.

Your 20% discount!

Small Hits : unreleased versions

Small Hits : unreleased versions

A new single by Alesia Cosmos. On Small Hits, two unreleased versions of the most famous titles of the group : The Last Line and Pat’lin de Merde.

The Last Line was the first title on the second album Aeroproducts (1985). A high energy rock song with a distorted electric guitar riff. In 2019, Pascal Holtzer remixed the original tracks and produced this yet unreleased extended version.

Pat’lin d’Merde was the most famous title on the first album Exclusivo! (1983). This quirky pseudo punk anthem united all generations of listeners in a great burst of laughter. When Bruno de Chénerilles composed this bomb in his studio, he himself sang the very first version of it. This yet unreleased sketch has a nice spontaneous energy.

Small Hits is a CD single in a limited edition of 100 copies slipped into a simple cardboard sleeve designed by Bruno de Chénerilles.

VAVAVOOM ! a new cd

VAVAVOOM ! a new cd

A brand new CD on record label Audiorama. Composed by Pascal Holtzer, Pierre Zeidler and Bruno de Chénerilles, 3 members of Alesia Cosmos who met for this trio side-project.

Recorded in May 2021 at studio Audiorama, it was mixed and mastered during that summer. VAVAVOOM ! Is available : you can order it on the Audiorama Record Shop.

Starting with original tracks composed and proposed by Pascal Holtzer, the 3 fellows met in 2 recording sessions. Pierre Zeidler (clarinet, saxophone) and Bruno de Chénerilles (live electronics, moogs, theremin) played freely with these tracks avec ces pistes during 2 sessions. The whole material was then remixed by Pascal Holtzer.

This creative process led to VAVAVOOM ! All along the 11 tracks, the album creates a very special sound universe, sometimes groovy, even creepy, but always humoristic, not very far from Alesia Cosmos.

You can be among the firsts to support this artistic enterprise on label Audiorama : Order now the album on the Record Shop !
