Introducing Eg0cide Productions (netlabel for experimental music) and the live recordings serie Solo Duo Trio co-organized with Apocope.

Is it possible for an expanding capitalist economy to remain within safe ecological limits or is it doomed to fail ? Capitalism requires constant growth, profit and production with an increasing population to remain stable. Without sufficient consumption, which creates more demand for production, the cycle would be frozen and capitalism would fail. These mechanisms do not provide incentives for preserving the environment and it falls victim to this compulsive behaviour. Is the sharing economy an answer. An economy where people value access to things over physical ownership ? Isan example of sharing yet still giving listeners the option to support the artist to keep making music. A kind of in-between ?

Some Strange Songs I recorded a while ago which originally appeared on different albums. Ive since decided they should all go together as one compilation.

This evolution is also related to the organisation of live events in Parisand around (since 2015 & the creation of theXtetX collectivewith a few other experimental musicians), andbythe wish to publish live recordings.Since february 2018, eg0cide has partnered with another French label,Apocope, for a special serie of live events calledSolo Duo Trio. All these concerts are recorded and later co-published as free download releases.Theobjectiveof this project is to give an insight into the deep, vivid and diverse French experimental music scene.
