“Post-everything”
Myriam Pruvot, backing vocals, Chantal Acda, backing vocals, Joseph Mills, electronics, Jacques Coursil, trumpet, Sylvain Chauveau, vocals, guitar, harmonium, programming, radios, ebows, field recordings.
Post-Everything is the third and final part of a trilogy where Chauveau deconstructs the pop song format. Three album titles like the three verses of a haiku: Singular Forms (Sometimes Repeated), Kogetsudai, Post-Everyting. This last album is the most accessible and romantic, and shows two distinct climates: electronic & vocals, acoustic guitar & vocals. Post-Everything has been two years in the making and was 100% self-funded thanks to streaming platform revenues. The album includes 10 tracks, including two Lykke Li covers: I Follow Rivers and No Rest For The Wicked.
Sylvain Chauveau has made solo records on labels like FatCat, Type, Les Disques du Soleil et de l'Acier, and Brocoli: very minimal compositions for acoustic instruments, electronics and vocals. His music has been played on John Peel's BBC show and reviewed in The Wire, Pitchfork, Mojo, Les Inrockuptibles, Libération, The Washington Post and many others. One of his tracks was published on the compilation WVI Reflections on Classical Music (Decca/Universal) alongside peices by Philip Glass, Gavin Bryars and Ryuichi Sakamoto. He has played live around the world (Europe, America, Asia), performed in museums and art galleries, and was artist in residence at the Villa Kujoyama (Kyoto 2011), Fundacao Serralves (Porto 2011), and Lieu Unique (Nantes 2004). He runs the labels Onement, whose aim is to release one-copy vinyl records (onement-label.com) and I will Play This Song Once Again Records where musicians re-record their songs for each buyer. He has composed a piece titled You Will Leave No Mark On The Winter Snow whose duration is seven years, with extremely long silences inside (7yearsofsilence.com). He has made soundtracks for long feature films and dance performances. Sylvain Chauveau also plays with 0 (with Joël Merah and Stéphane Garin), Arca (with Joan Cambon) and On (with Steven Hess). He was born in 1971 in Bayonne (France) and lives in Brussels, Belgium.
Sylvain Chauveau back catalog on Brocoli: How To Live In Small Spaces (Brocoli 017), Kogetsudai (Brocoli 013), The Absence (Brocoli 007, with Rainier Lericolais), Second Souffle (Brocoli 003, with ON).

“Kogetsudai”
Kogetsudai is Sylvain Chauveau’s 10th album, the second in a trilogy initiated by Singular Forms (Sometimes Repeated) (2010), where the song structure is dismantled and reconstructed on the fringe of silence.
Whereas Singular Forms found inspiration from Abstract Painting, Kogetsudai is influenced by Zen rock gardens found in Japan — also the location where the album was conceived (for the most part) — and from which the album borrows its title. Layers of minimal electronic sounds and filtered field recordings meet Sylvain’s rich baritone voice, with ghosts of piano.

“How to live in small spaces”

Reminiscent of Morton Feldman, time is suspended to the unresolved piano chords. Each one if followed by a minimal electronic piece. They were also composed for a dance performance by Cécile Loyer, recalling Sylvain's works on S. (Type 2007) and his collaboration with Stephan Mathieu, Palimpsest (Schwebung, 2012).
