about
Initiated as an improvised avant-garde musical act for a local art show, Le Chemin Noir (formerly, Rue d'Auseil) drew on the influences of cut-up techniques, ambient music, industrial music, musique concrète, Nihilism, Dada and Surrealism to present an audio-visual reaction to the war-era culture of America and the restrictive feeling of confinement, sense of powerlessness, total boredom and lack of hope for change the youth have experienced as a result of constant media-fed fear and jingoism. Simultaneously, Le Chemin Noir is an attempt to periodically break the restraints of rhythm and tonality while maintaining the cohesiveness that is essential to be recognized as music or at least art. Largely improvised, no two performances of Le Chemin Noir are ever the same although certain thematic elements may reoccur. Le Chemin Noir is striving to seperate itself from it's influences and redefine what is considered to be musick.
