Listen to our latest album released on Sub Rosa, on this Deezer player, and check the review published in THE WIRE. This album has been awarded the "2008 Qwartz artist prize", Qwartz being an international electronic music award.
DJ and sound-artist duo from France. The band can be seen as a Sound-System influencing on the airwaves, clubs, urban spaces, web, galleries & art centers.
From 1992 and for ten years Radio Mentale has been broadcasting their own cultshow in Paris on Radio FG (also broadcasted on Swiss station Couleur 3 and Japanese Shibuya FM). They work now on very different mediums : environmental pieces for contemporary art exhibitions, movie soundtracks, sound installations, specific sound pieces for radio shows, websites, CDs or urban spaces, multimedia movie performances and also sound-design for bars, hotels & events.
They are also pioneers of the "cinemix", a form of art quite popular in France, editing and mixing new soundtracks for silent movies, but also remixing and giving new interpretations of modern talking movies (by Cronenberg, Lynch, Antonioni, Von Trier, Van Sant..). Regularly invited by cinema festivals and art centers, RadioMentale is now travelling all over the world to give cinemixes performances.
Many examples of their cinemixes can be found on this Youtube page, which gathers various excerpts of their works :
Here is a short video shot during of one of their Cinemix performance in France, while they were performing a new soundtrack to the 1982 cult-movie "Koyaanisqatsi" by Godfrey Reggio, with music by Ellen Allien.
As musicians and composers, they recently worked on a long-feature movie. Here is the trailer of "La fin du bal" (English title "Bullets Don't Fly)" by Caroline Troubetzkoy, featuring RadioMentale's soundtrack.
merci pour l'ajout...ce que vous faites est ce que je préfère entendre à la radio. Ca vaut toute les drogues du monde! Si je pouvais avoir deux vies en simultanée, j'aurai choisi cette voie, tellement ça me plait..et je suis sûre que mes idées auraient été créativementradiophonique...heureusement que vous existez!!! Le pouvoir sonore est aussi large que le pouvoir de l'image! biz

Un maître. Il combine tous les arts,le don absolu. Ce passage, pour la période qui démarre à 4mn 35 ... par ailleurs un magnifique film à voir dans son entièreté. Je n'ai pas trouvé d'extraits du Salon de Musique ...
