AUN & ALLSEITS/Irrlicht (Oral CD)

From ROCK-A-ROLLA
''a musical tapestry where it all flows freely and ultimately takes a life of its own - it's, a familiar path taken by many artists in recent years especially, from Stars Of The Lid, to Final and indeed Troum, but rarely is it executed as well as it is here''

From AVANT-GARDE METAL
''After the delightfully monstruous affair Multigone, Martin Dumais (aka AUN), this time in the well-known company of German organic dronist Nina Kernicke (aka ALLSEITS), is back dwelling into the strange modulations of low-key minimalism and spatial exploration. Guitars, electronics, harmonica and voice, that's all these two adventurers use as means to propagate pure magick''

From VITAL
Their concerts seem to be loud but the work at hand here is rather subdued and drone based, occasionally bursting out into more heavy ground. The Klaus Schulze references are never far away, even when Aun and Allseits stay in a much more abstract ground. The cosmos is not the blue sky, but the infinite and dark space that lies much further away. Spacious (oops there we go again) dark atmospheric music along the lines of Thomas Koner and more over Troum (with whom Allseits sometimes collaborates). A dark sun, underwhich its hard to re-invent the tones, but where Aun and Allseits do a damn fine job." (FdW)

AUN/Multigone (Crucial Blast)

From HEAD HERITAGE (Julian Cope) I’ve also found Aun’s cataclysmic MULTIGONE album highly useful these past two months, its vast showers of electronics blasting, nay, brutalizing listeners with a racket somewhat akin to the music of Fall of the Grey Winged One (AEONS OF DREAMS), Kabalist (‘Shaman 262’ from VERMICHTE DIE GÖTTER) or some of the more apocalyptic Israeli noise music (Pootchlatz, Barbara). However, I believe that those of you who choose to seek sanctuary within the chaos of the 15-minute burn-up of the synthetic brass-laden ‘Steel Skull Plain’, will gain considerable meditative comfort. Sitting fogbound under its 35,000 feet of Zero Visibility is just the kind of O.D. it’s difficult not to succumb to in these dark Winter days. Again, the motherfuckers at Crucial Bliss (www.crucialblast.com) have scored big-time with this truly epic release.

From AVANT-GARDE METAL
''Extreme music the way AUN does it basically crosses, sometimes many, sometimes quite a few dense and highly compacted emotions against each other, to the point where it just feels naturally encompassing. From zero to infinity, I might easily say that Multigone, as an album, conveys and maximizes the darker spirits of Extreme metal, while actually keeping up with psychedelism in sculpture and avant ambient/noise in texture and genre. With this album, Dumais really captured an organised, organic and otherworldly vision, only to let us experience its spectral liveliness''

From MONTREAL MIRROR
It’s no wonder Montrealer Martin Dumais (of les Jardiniers) inked a deal with the highly respected Crucial Blast label for this solo project, as this very limited release knows when to pulverize and when to let off of the gas with some great psychedelic flourishes. The maelstrom of noise on the title track sets the mood perfectly, weaving a tapestry of sound that sets the pace for the crushing seven tracks here. If you dig Sunn O)))’s power drones and Keiji Haino’s vistas of violent frequencies, this should be right up your alley.

AUN/Whitehorse (Oral cd)


From CHAIN DLK
With "Blackhorse" Martin Dumais aka AUN shifts into a more dreamy and less experimental form of music. The overall feel is that the composition is more relaxed and AUN varies in its subtle attack with many different strategies ranging from simple but effective lushy drone pieces to more structured tracks with strings and other instruments always flexing and changing. Dumais wrestles with loops and keeps the listener focused for the whole 55 minutes of "Blackhorse". His tunes evoke both post-industrial revolutionaries and modern artists dealing with experimental music. It's not too far-fetched to think of AUN as the modern Canadian equivalent of projects like Zoviet France or Cranioclast. My highest recommendation for this one.

From WIRE
''AUN/Whitehorse/Blackhorse. These two CD's, released separately but amounting to a single body of work, are the sound of Dumais in isolation, free of the weight of commission or outside influence and they demonstrate a penchant for cavernous ambient soundscapes and tiny sepulchral whispers. Theres nearly two hours of music here, but it can be experienced as one vast gaseous drift. Stately melodies unfurl in slow motion, in the distance, air moves, rustling the autumn leaves''

Photobucket
AUN/Mule (oral cd)

From CHAIN DLK
''The music that AUN creates is released via Oral Records, a Canadian label home to projects such as CM Von Hausswolf, Joe Colley and the two superb Monoton re-issues. "Mule" is the first of his works to be published and it can be described as post-ambient with an experimental edge. There's melodies in there too and the canvas is different for every track. This music might be largely reprocessed by a computer but it's paradoxically "authentic" as played on a guitar or a piano and this makes Mule a particularly intense and emotional experience''

He records for Alien8, Oral, Crucial Blast, and recently completed releases for Important, Public Guilt, Cospiracy, Drone and Cyclic Law. His works have been described as “apocalyptic ambient”, “hellish symphonies” and “celestial electronic music”. Since late 2006, the mostly guitar and violin AUN has served as a vehicule to explore various regions of dissonance and melody where beauty and noise meet, yielding both physical and emotive response in listeners. The very prolific and acclaimed AUN, was described in the international press as “grandiose”, “monumenta”l, “gloriously epic”. His work has also included commissions for television, sound-art installations, as well as curator of various experimental and electronic concerts. He has presented his work in a live setting in Europe, North and South America, including key performances at Sonar (Barcelona), Mutek (X4), SXSW (USA). While AUN has been a mostly solo endeavour, some recent collaborators include cult metal band Voivoid's drummer Michel Lngevin, and Montreal visual artist and musician Julie Leblanc, with whome he his currently touring and recording new material.

SHANTIDAS vs Jean-Michelle Jarre (Projet solo d'un membre d'Aluk Todolo - Sympho Noise - Paris)
AUN sort d'ici peu un split LP avec HABSYLL, à paraître sur Public Guilt outre-atlantique (Dälek, Aluk Todolo, etc...) et sur Conspiracy Records par chez nous (Jesu, Gnaw, Mono et Monno, etc...)... En tournée européenne la formation montréalaise de dark-drone sera accompagnée de B°TONG (suisse oeuvrant dans le power electronics) pour son passage au Chiquito.
En ouverture de cette soirée, SHANTIDAS (membre de Aluk Todolo) part en guerre sur les terres d'une de nos gloire nationales, avec un set sympho-noise qu'il présentera pour la première fois sous le sobriquet SHANTIDAS VS. JEAN-MICHELLE JARRE.
Qui a dit que les black-metalleux manquaient d'humour?
