Piano Brut - Rags Cassette
A new project by French artist Sylvain Milliot sees him stepping away from his Véhicule moniker to take his hand in reassembling vinyl recordings of Scott Joplin’s piano ragtimes into a cascading conundrum of prepared plunderphonia.
A collection of rough miniatures, improvised into various permutations of absurdity and uneasy listening, calling to mind the free-wheeling cod-Surrealism of Nurse With Wound or The Residents.
