Initially
a solo project set up by Z/k (also active in obscure
acts such as SM SOPHIE, SM MARINE, UNITE M.S.T.), Orange
Princess (former singer of DENIER DU CULTE, another
cult act from Annecy, France) joined in 1985.
LA
SONORITE JAUNE
held his name from a serie of paintings by Kandinsky.
Based on the links between sounds and colors, the multicoloured
soundscapes developped by the band, consisting in delayed
concrete sounds, voices, guitar tones and loops, quickly
spread around the international underground scene, with
a number of albums that got released either on their
own label SJ ORGANISATION or .. friends inprints such
as COMPLACENCY, LADD FRITH, WE NEVER SLEEP or SOUND
OF PIG MUSIC. Calling themselves HELIAE, ANASTIA, ISTANIA
or ERSATIA, they were all part of what Z/K refered to
"La Poetique Espace". But that's another story. Amongst
the abovementionned albums also came a collaboration
with THE HATERS titled "The interstellar destroyed music
mail project" , with SYNFONIEN PRODUCTS 'Soundtracks
for Breathing Structures" (released on Ladd-Frith in
the US) and a split lp with fellow LT CARAMEL titled
'Je ne veux plus voir le ciel".LA
SONORITE JAUNE is also featured on many international
compilations, most of them quite hard to find today.
The duo happened
to turn into a quatuor at some point. Ruelgo from LE
SYNDICAT and a lovely violin player were talently fulfilling
the live sound of the band. Emmanuel and Aline also
joined as VJ's (although no one used this word at that
time). LSJ played in front of an audience 5 times: in
Paris (x2), Munich, Bourges and Milan. There are no
video archives available anywhere (as far as i know
- if anybody got any, please get in touch).
The Lp is
out of print, although it is said that 50 copies remain
in the SJ ORG archives, numbered with hand painted covers,
that will never be on sale. SJ ORG called it quits in
1989. All the stuff released is out of print, including
music from other beloved acts : Maybe mental, Big City
Orchestra, Schlafengarten, Illusion of Safety, Rig Veeda
and the twins, Visceral Response, F/i, Master Slave
Relationship, PBK, Dog as master, Paul Kelday, Domaine
Poetique, WEr7, Agog, Human Head Transplant and others.
