Apart from his career with electronic and indie bands like
Centenaire
,
Egyptology
,
Karaocake
, producer
Stéphane Laporte
, aka
Domotic
, now presents his fifth LP,
Smallville Tapes
. It sounds like the instrumental soundtrack from an imaginary water movie where you could find
François de Roubaix
and
Terry Riley
composing tracks for Commandant
Cousteau
. Stéphane Laporte has been digging the music for the past 15 years. It was not easy, but he succeeded in making his name relevant when people think about experimental stuffs with catchy tunes. For
Smallville Tapes
, everything began when Stephane was on holiday at La Ciotat, on the French Riviera, trying to make music at his parents' house. Finally, one day he found a four-track recorder that he bought to someone on a supermarket parking, and he saved his demo songs on some old K7. Back to Paris then, he first forgot those songs composed during the summer, but he finally added some electronic organ Philicorda on the tracks, plus some Siel orchestra.
Smallville Tapes
was born. The fifth album, following previous albums released on Clapping Music, is a masterpiece looking like some French cult albums like
The Virgin Suicides
by
AIR
(1999) or
Histoire De Melody Nelson
by
Serge Gainsbourg
(1971); whereas Domotic prefers to quote "garage array" by
Dylan Shearer
or
CAN
and François de Roubaix as relevant influences. "I wanna thank my parents for not having converting my bedroom in a fitness room," he says. Every song has been composed over there, in La Ciotat, and that's the main purpose of
Smallville Tapes
. Not so small, actually.
