Bernrad Grancher – Penser comme le Cristal #ERRREC009
Bernard Grancher a d’abord officié à la radio dans un show à base de collages sonores, d’incantations débridées, d’improvisations bruitistes.
Commencent alors des collaborations fructueuses, hexagonales et internationales:
Le duo Marseillais Sugarcraft tout d’abord avec qui il enregistre 4 albums sous le nom Audace.
Jean-Louis Costes avec qui il enregegistra un EP resté encore inédit.
Le groupe americain Vas Deferens Organazation (dont la tête pensante, Eric Lumbleau, rédigeait le blog Mutant Sounds) lui proposera d’enregistrer un split LP avec Audace et l’Italien Ben Presto.
Mais surtout Yan Hart-Lemonnier qui l’accueillera au sein de son label EgoTwister records et qui l’aidera à produire son premier LP, Monsieur Délicieux en 2013.

Fort de cette expérience, les deux compères n’en restent pas là et enregistrent un second album, Cocktail Monotone.
C’est finalement Gonzaï records qui va sortir cet audacieux LP, acide et amer, rempli de tubes imparables (…)

They eventually recorded and produced together a second effort: “Cocktail Monotone” released on GONZAï Records in 2016

PENSER COMME LE CRISTAL, is an intense instrumental album, both musical journal and lightnin rod where Bernard is pushing his synths and beatboxes to their limits. Alienated from any electronic music trend, this weirdly beautiful album in non- formatted, uncompromising, nihilist, pure and brutal.
