Bandiera Di Carta représente la collaboration en cours entre le constructeur d’instruments et compositeur Pierre Bastien et Tomaga (Valentina Magaletti et Tom Relleen), duo expérimental basé à Londres. Bastien a été qualifié de «scientifique musical fou avec une célébrité suivante» par The Guardian pour avoir collaboré avec le cinéaste Pierrick Sorin, le couturier Issey Miyake, le chanteur et compositeur Robert Wyatt et le doux dingue Aphex Twin,qui a sorti trois de ses albums sur son label Rephlex.
Tomaga a fait plus d’une douzaine de disques depuis sa formation en 2014, poursuivant ainsi une voie d’expérimentation sans peur et de sonorisation, inconditionnel qui leur a valu des fans et des applaudissements venus de partout, y compris de Thurston Moore, avec qui ils ont collaboré sur le projet CAN en 2017, ainsi que Wire, Silver Apples et Stereolab…

‘Bandiera Di Carta’, represents the ongoing collaboration between instrument builder and composer Pierre Bastien and the London based experimental duo Tomaga (Valentina Magaletti and Tom Relleen).
Bastien has been called a “mad musical scientist with a celebrity following” by The Guardian (UK) having collaborated with the likes of filmmaker Pierrick Sorin, fashion designer Issey Miyake, singer and composer Robert Wyatt as well as Aphex Twin, who released three of his albums on his label Rephlex.
Tomaga have made more than a dozen records since forming in 2014, pursuing a path of fearless experimentation and sonic brinksmanship that has won them fans and plaudits from far and wide, including Thurston Moore, with whom they collaborated on the CAN Project with Malcolm Mooney, Deb Goodge and others in 2017, as well as Wire, Silver Apples and Stereolab, with whom they toured extensively in summer 2019.
The artistic collaboration between Pierre and Tomaga began with two commissions: from Fructose Festival in Dunkirk and the revered underground festival Supersonic in Birmingham UK. Recording initially at a studio in the industrial port of Dunkirk, the uneasy bond between borders and states seems to have been a theoretical motor to the collaborative sessions, as well as the bleak landscape of the sea port frontier. This inspiration found further manifestation in the cover image for ‘Bandiera Di Carta’. Resembling a white paper flag, it is in fact a photograph of Bastien’s paper and air sound machine installed on stage at Teatro Carignano in Turin as part of the trio’s performance there. This charged, ambivalent image of a blank flag evokes the transcendence of the national, a prescient visual motif that meditates on the contemporary uncertainty around notions of national identity and borders but perhaps also a ‘carte blanche’ for the artists involved, in which they can deviate from the confines of their usual practice into new and strange territories.
