Biography


.CUT FEATURING GIBET is a two-man band featuring Albérick (.cut) on laptop and Gibet on guitar. Formed in 2003, this project is the result of the encounter between these two musicians during a semi-improvised gig in Lyon. Since then, they released a large number of cd-r under that name, including the very recommended Arctic Circle (Obsolete records, 2006) and The Meiose Radio Sessions E.P. (Altsphere Prod, 2007), mp3 albums and they also contributed to many compilations. Besides, .cut worked on the soundtrack of the animated short movie Sous le Microscope in 2008. At the moment, the band is divided between Lyon where Gibet lives, and Montreal, where .cut emigrated almost two years ago, a city where he adds up collaborations with the local scene.

Beyond the facts, .CUT FEATURING GIBET is an experimental band, as much in their approach as in their music. Often compared to the post-rock movement due to the structure of the pieces, usually long and progressive, their music also recalls the industrial / noise scene by the use of electronic manipulations. Bringing up uncompromising themes such as war, fear or death, this music captivates; it's as if we were gazing angst in awe.

.CUT FEATURING GIBET est un duo composé d'Albérick (.cut) au labtop et de Gibet à la guitare. Formé en 2003, ce projet est le fruit de la rencontre des deux musiciens lors d'un concert semi-improvisé à Lyon. Depuis, ils ont sorti sous ce nom de nombreux cd-r dont les très bons Arctic Circle (Obsolete records, 2006) et The Meiose Radio Sessions E.P. (Altsphere Prod, 2007), des albums MP3 et participé à de multiples compilations. .cut a aussi réalisé la bande son du film d'animation Sous le Microscope en 2008. Actuellement le groupe est partagé entre Lyon où réside Gibet et Montréal, terre d'adoption de .cut depuis bientôt 2 ans et où il multiplie les collaborations avec la scène locale.

Au delà des faits, .CUT FEATURING GIBET est un groupe expérimental que ce soit dans sa démarche ou dans sa musique. Souvent rapproché du courant post-rock du fait de la structure des morceaux, généralement longs et évolutifs, ils évoquent aussi la scène industrielle ou bruitiste par les manipulations électroniques qui jalonnent leurs compositions. Abordant sans concessions des thèmes comme la guerre, la peur ou la mort, leur musique subjugue, comme une contemplation de l'angoisse où se mêlent effroi et réconfort.
