Dorine_Muraille is the alias of Julien Loquet, a Frenchman currently
living in Cherbourg.
Having previously recorded under the name :Gel (releasing an
album and 12˛ on the Artefact label, and singles on Active Suspension,
Intercontinental and Goomdisques), Julienšs new material under
the Dorine_Murailleš alias marked a slight shift in emphasis.
Instrumental recordings (double bass, voice, piano, guitars)
were taken into a powerbook, arranged and processed through
various software, before the results are reconstructed in the
final mix on computer. The resultant tracks form an incredibly
dense and intricate series of textured layers and melodic clips,
an almost Rococo overflowing of ornamental detail.
Fuelled by a strong interest in collaboration, Dorine_Muraille
works by gathering very different girls and boys together, not
necessarily musicians, and he loves to have girls from his private
life singing on his music (shades of serge Gainsbourgh), which
he describes as pop / folkš.
As well as working on a collaborative track with French performer
Jean-Louis Costes, Dorine_Muraille has also collaborated with
Japanese singer Noriko Tujiko (Tomlab-Mego), and plans collaboration
with Scott Heren (Prefuse 73) under Herenšs Savath+Savalas alias.
The girl singing on this album is a young French writer called
Chloe Delaume. Totally unknown a year ago when they began to
work together, she then published her second book, "le cri du
sablier", which became a big success in France for a novel so
"experimental" and won the Decembreš prize for litterature.
