Since the release of his 1st album in 1975, Pascal Comelade has worked profusely and participated in numerous collaborations with Richard Pinhas, P.J. Harvey and Robert Wyatt. His compositions, depending on the period and their singular mixes, bring back MC5, Erik Satie, Nino Rota, Ennio Morricone, Suicide… Pascal Comelade has created a language dancing on an indefinitely moving musical skeleton, from stripped-down sexiness to overly dressed orchestral sounds, by successive combinations, mixing both folklore, underground, repetitive and variety music, pataphysical riffs and toy-like instruments. He is a renowned artist, extensively supported by the general and musical press.
