Singer of the mythical band Diabologum in the Nineties – 3
records released: C'était un lundi après-midi
semblable aux autres (1993), Le goût du jour (1994),
and 3 others on Lithium (1996) –he is also the singer
of Programme - 3 records released: Mon cerveau dans ma bouche
(2000), L’enfer Tiède (2002) on Lithium/Labels,
et Bogue (2004) on Ici d'ailleurs, Arnaud Michniak tries
his skills at a new solo project "Poing perdu",
which drives rock hip hop and electro to the wall.
From this project, many gigs/live musical performances of 35minutes
will take place. These mixes videos, music and poetry. Named “films/slams/sons”,
the live is composed of excerpts of his movies, of slams and
of his new songs from "Poing perdu". On stage,
Arnaud Michniak is accompanied with the guitarist R (Nonstop,
Dj R).
After I had released Bogue and momentary stopped with
Programme, I felt like writing by myself and creating a
collective
project. Firstly, I thought about a collective audio journal
called Le brouillon. At the same time,
I had the opportunity to enter the ESAV (Ecole Supérieure
d’Audiovisuel- audiovisual school in Toulouse, France),and
my project concerning a collective journal became a collective
audiovisual project: "Appelle ça comme tu
veux". From a quite simple screenplay (four teenagers
steel a camera from a family of Japanese tourists; then
they film their life and the society that surrounds themselves),
I created a shooting based on the real life that took months
and which mixed planned and improvised moments. Then, the
rest came from another quite simple screenplay (these four
teenagers fasten a megaphone on the roof of a car and cross
the country slamming anything that comes into their heads).
Both movies "Appelle ça comme tu veux 1 and
2" (60 min), and a bonus that recounts this experience
and shows extracts of other little movies realized during
this period (2005/2006) will be released in a new Dvd limited
edition in May 2007 thanks to Mathieu Copeland, an English
young contemporary art trustee.
Mathieu Copeland himself had reached me at the beginning
of 2006 concerning an exhibition in Hong Kong with the
artist Loris Gréaud. For this project, I composed
a soundtrack, then I wrote a text, and from this, I shot
this film in Hong Kong in September 2006. This is a very
different attempt in comparison with "Appelle ça
comme tu veux". This film is going to be edited in
Dvd in April 2007 and an exhibition will take place in
Hong Kong in May.
From this soundtrack and this text (Poing perdu 1, 2 and
3) that does not appear in the final movie shot in Hong
Kong, I wrote and composed new songs. These constitute
a mini album, my first solo album, "Poing perdu".
It is going to be released on Ici d’ailleurs in May.
At the same time, I intend to propose some live music performances/gigs
where I merge my audiovisual experiences with these new
songs.
