Late Saturday night turns Sunday morning misty
somewhere, someone is playing some strings...
snatches of thoughts whispered
a stolen text from dirty old Henry Miller
the stereo scratches out
a scrap of a poem penned to a dead man
like a song to a lover who left
without saying goodbye.

With the new release of "in Comfort" the duet of Lydia Lunch and Philippe Petit move out of the dark Psycho-Ambience of their previous "Twist of Fate" and into a more intimate atmosphere. Using orchestral strings, vanguard soundscapes and collected field recordings to conjure up a dense, cinematic world, the sinister, yet inviting "in Comfort" mixes acoustic instrumentation with digital filtering, swaying and unfolding amid the psycho-film-noir syntax of a Lunchian universe.

Philippe Petit: a musical travel-agent Marseille, France

Interested in soundtracks even if I create original music I'd rather be introduced as a "musical travel agent" than a composer.

Since 2000 I have been playing all over the world...
Feeling lucky to release on several international labels such as Aagoo, Southern UK, Monotype, Alrealon Musique, Beta Lactam Ring, Sub Rosa, HomeNormal, Important, HelloSquare, Public Eyesore, Utech, Staubgold, etc... ... more
