.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 Article 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.

(three:four records - 2009)

".cut feat. Gibet pratique un post-rock que l'on peut classer directement dans la famille Constellation. On y retrouve ainsi l'esprit des premiers Godspeed You! Black Emperor et de certains morceaux de Set Fire To Flames, mais dans une version plus minimale (ici pas de batterie ni de line-up à rallonge)."
