Frànçois and the Atlas |
Mountains |
|
Bristol, population 400.000. Situated in the south east of England, it looks like a cute town, alive, full of culture, humid, torrid... it is a port-town. During the XVIII century it was involved in the peak of the slave trade, and was the hub of this awful industry.
Several centuries later it wasn't the tears and blood of those poor souls, but the sweat of the youth, which seeped over the most fertile dance floors of the east Atlantic.
|
And Bristol became once again the hub for the slaves, trapped by rhythm, marked and turned on by Reprazent's new forms, or chained to the fogs of Third Eye Foundation, Amp, Flying Saucer Attack, Crescent, Movietone...
We don't know what it was that drew Frànçois from France to Bristol in September 2003, but since then, his creativity hasn't stopped surprising us. Starting with bands such as Crescent or Movietone, who have populated his Atlas Mountains , he has written songs where language blows away all borders, this being pop made in England . It so happens that the Frenchmen of the isles have revolutionized the style - just look at Wenger's Arsenal - and managed for the continent to be seen from the top of the old cliffs with admiration.
On top of that, Frànçois makes beautiful animation movies, that you may discover visiting his website.
