GUITARE NOIRE The Debut Walked In Line Records, 2008 "The Debut" marque la première réalisation de Guitare Noire, projet solo de Chris (ex-membre du groupe punk Soup Toxic) qui est également cofondateur du label Walked In Line Records. Six morceaux réunis sur un vinyle (format 10") pour une trop courte durée de onze minutes; mince tranche de cadran horaire possédant néanmoins un goût intense, parfum prononcé qui a vite fait de nous griser les sens avec la substance inédite liant les curieuses harmonies de ce concentré de nostalgie profonde. De la pop expérimentale sombre et intimiste, voilà pour la carte de visite, mais la véritable identité de "The Debut" demeure inclassable, sans titre comme un prince enfant déchu de son royaume en imaginaire, étrange et errant dans une banlieue pré-onirique ("Les Mannequins", une reprise de Kraftwerk), troublante et laissant deviner un manque, un vide irréductible, une blessure sur le fil de ces mélodies en découpe de guitare sur fond de solitude, silhouette qui se perd dans l'oubli et l'indifférence... "Dans ma rue il y a un tigre" et sa voix enfantine représente bien, je trouve, l'esprit de Guitare Noire, à la fois triste, poétique et décalé, visages estompés et photos anciennes à cet instant précis où l'avenir n'est plus que brume grise, ce que semble dire le dernier morceau, cordes acoustiques et piano sur le fondu enchaîné d'un regard lointain et mélancolique. Vivement la suite en tout cas, d'autres nouvelles d'un artiste à surveiller de très près tant sa musique est capable d'exprimer ce que les mots n'arrivent jamais complètement à faire passer, le sens du "verbe fragile" sur la note muette du coeur.

Some people you meet can be a passing phase, they tend not to mean much about anything, but then, on the rare occassion you meet some line Chris from Guitare Noire and you sit up and listen. We are honoured that he is part of this with us and we hope you enjoy his interview!
How did you get started? I started the Guitare Noire project after the split of my band Soup Toxic in 2007. About to get my own myspace first but It became a true project at the end of some songs to allow the release of my first vinyl. Where you musical at school? I started playing guitar when I was 15 years old at school in a local punk rock band What is your favourite venue to play? I’d like to try to put a band together to play live again and manage a tour dates. I never play in Great Britain and there is still a dream. But I’m alone with Guitare noire and I think it is impossible to play live for the moment because I dont write my music to play shows. Do you have a favourite band/arists living or dead? I’m a big fan of The Cure since the debut of 80’s.. I have bands like Bauhaus, Cocteau Twins, Joy Division or Killing Joke in my top band! What has been the best gig you have played? With my previous band? Because I never play with Guitare Noire of course. I have some great memories with the australian rock legend The New Christ.. It was the last gig of soup toxic and it was one of the most emotional gig. What city-country would you like to visit? I like to visite Australia before I’m dead! But I don’t think a trip is really a dream in my life. I could be happy to stay in my land. What would you say about the music scene now? More understanding people for a couple of years now at shows like in the 80’s. Also, the Internet and websites like Myspace could help for a broad-minded judge and to be ready to entertain different ideas of the music. Guitare Noire could not existe without Internet. I mean the new music scene and Internet are really close! Where does your music fit in? I need some songwriting is necessary to breathe correctly in my life. Most of the time the song is not good but I need to do something. I play music to survive so the music is everywhere around me. Would you allow your music to be used in commercials/TV? Did you really think its possible for me? I dont play music for money or to be a start but if people are interested about Guitare noire it’s great.. But I don’t dream anymore! If there was one person you could work with who would it be? I like to write songs with different people and use Internet to send works. This days I try to play with a band called The Strange Walls from New York. Usually, I like to write new songs with everybody so please contact me! What would you say the worst thing about toring is? There are not too many bad things about touring but the worst thing is when you are too drunk to play and people think you are all the time like this! What are your worst habits? Sex and beer! What drives your music and your passion? When I write a song I hope to affect the melancolic emotions of someone. Maybe I want to make people happy to be happy myself. How do you write your music? I use my computer and a M-Audio Black Box… I play guitar, bass-guitar, keyboard and some others instruments like a Melodica, a Whistle, a Bombard and others but it’s difficult to insert in my music most of the time… I usually play a guitar part and try to find others melodies with my keyboard. But its hard for me to find the style first. I try to find myself in a sensual and melancolic feeling before to work. Some weeks I could not play at all. What have you go planned for the rest of the year, you playing any festivals? I’d like to planned a couple of shows if I can find a band to play my music. I hope to release news records this year.

GUITARE NOIRE “ The début “ (Walked in Line)
Voici un nouveau projet, celui de Chris du label/Webzine, etc... WALKED IN LINE et membre des SOUP TOXIC. Rien de punk ici je vous le dis de suite, Chris ressort probablement par ce biais une autre partie de sa culture musicale... Chez ce genre de personnage au centre de plein d'activités, on retrouve le goût des belles choses et surtout un esprit d'ouverture primordial, GUITARE NOIRE le prouve. Ce projet est étonnant et beau. Comme un long voile, un périple aérien épuré où chaque note et passages furtifs d'instruments et de chants semblent promis à provoquer chez l'auditeur une sensation de bien être réel malgré une vision d'ensemble plutôt mélancolique et noire. Je m'avoue un peu étonné par le cover de KRAFTWERK, étonné mais agréablement, ça change... (deux SURRICATES y sont présentes). Dans l’ensemble, remarquez que si l'univers est beau mais un peu froid (comme un courant d'air qui porte et titille !),jamais on ne gèle pas, un peu comme les COCTEAU TWINS, un peu comme ces groupes qui globalement maniaient le sombre et jouaient avec le thermomètre... Bel objet aussi, c'est un vinyle 10'' au visuel sobre comme la musique... (NQB).

GUITARE NOIRE "the debut" Chris ex-Soup Toxic est de retour tout seul comme un grand avec GUITARE NOIRE. Déroutant à tous les niveaux, il s’agit d’un vinyle 10 pouces limité à 100 exemplaires (!!) sobrement intitulé « The Debut ». Pochette de fabrication artisanale, un logo réalisé au pochoir, c’est tout. Ça représente quoi ? Un couple dansant le yéyé ? Ou bien une femme qui engueule son homme ? Bizarre… Mais la plus grosse surprise c’est la musique. Je m’attends à des titres énervés à la sauce Toxic. Il n’est est rien. Les 6 titres s’aventurent dans l’expérimental minimaliste sur une base de new wave gothique. Finis les hurlements et le speed. Ici les fantômes de Joy Division, Bauhaus et Cocteau Twins hantent les compos. Etonnant ! Quoique, je me rends compte que c’est la suite logique d’un parcours musical bien rempli, puisque Chris n’a jamais caché son amour envers ces groupes. Les ambiances sont à la fois intimistes, glaciales et envoûtantes. Ce n’est pas un disque à mettre en fond musical. Il faut s’asseoir et écouter. Comme dans un musée, on contemple un tableau, et bien là c’est pareil. Chris se fait plaisir en réalisant cet opus en famille. Ainsi, sa fille Ceryse nous conte le poème « Dans ma rue il y a un tigre », le texte provenant de Daniil KHARMS (Anthologie de la poésie russe pour enfants). Puis Laetitia et Faïza des SURICATES prêtent leurs voix sur « Les Mannequins » une cover de Kraftwerk... ... (Ozyludo)
