Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Le Band de Poets is a fortunate meeting between poetry and music. The debut album by this collective is heavy on contrasts, intimacy, provocation, sensuality and humor. Each poet casts a different light and creates a unique mood. The poets are heard reciting and singing the texts and songs for which they wrote both lyrics and music, and they fully participate to the musical accompaniment."-Ambiances Magnetiques

"Bernard Falaise. Born Montréal, Québec, 1965. Residence: Montréal, Québec. Composer, Performer (guitar).

Bernard Falaise was born in Montréal, where he currently lives. He plays electric guitar, composes and improvises - all with evident joy - for Miriodor, Klaxon Gueule, les Projectionnistes, Diesel and other groups. He has written for the Ensemble contemporain de Montréal (ECM), Quartango and the Isis Quartet, and has created music for exhibitions, television, the theatre and dance. Allergic to labels, Falaise explores acid rock, twelve-tone waltzes and industrial tangos with equal enthusiasm."
