Beast: La Ruche Sonore
Publié le 29 juin 2010 à 23h34
Pour illustrer la pochette de son premier et seul album, le duo québécois Beast – alias la chanteuse Betty Bonifassi et le batteur-percussionniste-bidouilleur Jean-Phi Goncalves – a choisi l’intérieur d’une ruche. Ça ressemblait justement à une vaste ruche en plein air, mardi soir, place des Festivals, où des dizaines de milliers de personnes bourdonnaient avant le début du Grand Événement donné par Beast. Beast qui nous a régalés d’un miel sonore pas du tout doucereux ou sucré, mais bien fort, puissant, typé. Un miel à la fois nature et urbain!!

Founded in 2005 by Jimmy Lakatos, Mathieu St-Arnaud, Raymond Saint-Jean and Olivier Goulet, Geodezik designs video control systems for public art installations and stadium shows alike, merging each project’s criteria and technical requirements with a creative vision that seems to link directly to the precipice of whatever popular culture is about to become.
