As said by Dr. Serenus Zeitblom through the pen of Thomas Mann, “only because I assume that someone might wish in passing to be informed as to who and what the writer is, do I preface these disclosures with a few remarks concerning my person, though not without real apprehension that in so doing I may move the reader to doubt whether he finds himself in the right hands, which is to say: whether, given all that I am, I am the right man for a task to which I am drawn more by my heart, perhaps, than by any legitimizing affinity.”
Euphonic Alliances Ltd. is the live performance musical duo of experimental French-born producer Désiré Bonaventure and nomadic Canadian-born artist/performer Così e Così. Here brought to you by post-devastation, communal-isolation, and a dug-out rabbit k-hole vision of squat-music squatted; refined and thrown back at the spectacle, with obfuscated clarity, an indictment on so-called knowledge, progress, technology, and on itself and its own dispersed judgements. Anti-music, anti-substance, anti-bacchanal, music for a lost age without age, for a faded high beyond a bottom, with worn-out suicide ideation weary of itself, with disappointment, abandonment, loneliness, disillusionment, loss, and a world of ghosts, with love and faith that everything begins and ends at exactly the right time: Euphonic Alliances Ltd. Live in Ancient Flesh.
“Whatever were the privations and disappointments of the day, their musical and other exercises were strictly attended to; and hands enfeebled by want and grief, plied their task with as much assiduity as when occupation was only a variation of luxury. This attention to the ornaments of life, when its actual necessaries are wanted, — this sound of music in a house where the murmurs of domestic anxiety are heard every moment, — this subservience of talent to necessity, all its generous enthusiasm lost, and only its possible utility remembered or valued, — is perhaps the bitterest strife that ever was fought between the opposing claims of our artificial and our natural existence,” as said by Melmoth within the Adonijah manuscript transcribed by the Spaniard, spoken to John Melmoth through the pen of Charles Maturin.
