    New stuff on : Follow on Soundcloud : http://soundcloud.com/naingnaingfl <br> <script>(function(d){ var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk'; if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;} js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"; d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(js); }(document));</script> <div class="fb-like-box" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/platform" data-width="292" data-show-faces="true" data-stream="true" data-header="true"></div> <br> Follow on Twitter : http://twitter.com/NaingNaingTOD .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... The complete name of the new song is "..Too many tiny GM dayglow pets next door... your lawn will die!.." (from my live session @ Epsilonia Radio Show 20-05-2010). ..Musique concrete meets hardcore !.. The last part however is pure concrete as it is almost entirely made of edited insect sounds (except half the bass drum which support the cricket bass and a mere frog drum)..... 1 - News :.... With 5 years in the making, .. Naing Naing next album is still in the works.., but close to te end. ..Now the whole thing exceeds 100 minutes. So it will be released as a double CD. This one will work as a kaleidoscopic array of pop concrete styles .. (concrete hardcore and punk, concrete gamelan, concrete blues, concrete gregorian... Enough, you got the picture)... .... ..In addition a Naing Naing live CD (50 minutes) will be released soon by Chicago-based Sleepy Mammal Sounds Records... It was recorded in Nantes, France in a cool venue called Lieu Unique which used to be a LU biscuit factory. .... 2 - Regular propaganda :.... As you can hear I try to ..use concrete sounds as musical instruments, merge oil and water, make unquantized computer music and risky live performance using concrete USB guitar and USB tabla... Doing so I deliberately focus on sounds that can be recognized by listeners: frogs / toads, wasp buzz, ice cubes in a glass, toothbrushing, bird calls, washing machine, obsolete diesel generator, ducks, goose, cows, pigs, dentist drill, trains, sheep, clocks, crickets, wind, eating an apple, & more..... Most of my songs are from a unique source of sound (one wasp buzz) or thematically grouped sounds (various species of frogs) that are turned into drums, bass line and melodies. But I also did a few songs with what I call "compromise" (like the toothbrush dance music which has drums samples). I finally found a tag for my music : CONCRETE POP !!!.... .."Pop Concrete".. is to be understood as "Musique concrète that is not historically affiliated with GRM/IRCAM" not as mere mainstream pop : It emcompasses concrete gamelan, concrete punk, concrete blues, live concrete tabla solo, toothbrush dance music and more quirky stuff such as touching melodies made of the sound of my dentist's drill set to a funky beat..... Here a recent video made by english students (including Grace Poulter) using my old track Brosse à danse from 2000 - 2001 : .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... Re-Aktion Records just got me a new digital distributor : .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........ .... Javanese gamelan made of ice cubes in a glass and played with a MIDI guitar (Paris, June 21st, 2008 - Fête de la musique). Fingers play ice cube and gong sounds while the foot-controller controls the slenthem (an indonesian instrument) :.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... Concrète Rock'n'Roll : my Ramones cover featuring Miss Maya (Tear of a Doll) on vocals and sledge hammer, the Burmese diesel generator (again!) and various construction and civil engineering machinery sounds : .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .... .. .. .. .. .. ...................... ..Pics by Ellie Van Brande, Antwerpen, Sept. 2007.. .... "Animal Hop" (in the player) is a remix of LISTEN WITH SARAH that will be released on a LWS remixes sampler by Womb Rds (UK). Other tracks here are older (2000-2004) except the live songs. "Ice cube in Pelog" is a live performance of a concrete gamelan piece entirely performed on "USB guitar"..... This is Naing Naing "Animal Farm Blues" (according to YouTube Insight it is mostly popular in Egypt, Libya and Iran) :.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. (Also available on YouTube). .... ..NAING NAING "TOOTHBRUSH FEVER" CD (14 tracks / 60 minutes.. of music like this / digipack + 16 pages colourful booklet with explanations) is available though paypal ..here... (12 euro postpaid worldwide)(Re-Aktion rds, 2004).... ...... .... But .. NN "Toad Fever" EP-CD.. (below) is out of print..... .......... I am still working on NAING NAING second full length album (14 tracks 2005-2008) which should be released at the end of 2008... And new TEAR OF A DOLL songs are in the pipeline as well....... Listen to the whole 1st album on ..last.fm...... All Dodoll Records for ..free & full download.. at last.fm (..Naing Naing.., ..Tear of a Doll.. / ..Tears of a Doll.. & ..Heimat-los..) ! .... NAING NAING "Toothbrush Fever" is available in the USA on CD Baby... ...... ...... .... For live shows, I use a different software and improvise parts of the songs to ensure that live versions are different from the album stuff. Some songs are performed with a MIDI-fyed guitar controlling the laptop, some songs are just played behind the laptop. The show also features Miss Maya singing on a few songs..... I have not got the chance to play with artists playing the same type of music yet, I shared shows with artists such as : Victims Family, Experimental Dental School, Stanley Kubi, Tapetronic, The World/Inferno Friend Society, Capsule (the one from Belgium), PAK, Digep, Ed Mudshi, Stig Noise Soundsystem, DJ Rupture & Andy Moor (the Ex), Koonda Hoonda, USA is a Monster, Cheveu, Fire Flower Revue, Video Love, Love to Love, Les Suce-Pendus, Headwar, Salmigondis and more... .... Ice cube music performed live in Paris early 2007 (This old video from an early concert is not representative of what I do now (but I just cannot capture newer videos right now) : .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... Free MP3, reviews, details on how those songs were made are available at ..www.naingnaing.com ...... NAING NAING "Toothbrush Fever" CD and "Toad Fever" EP are in full preview on ..last.fm.. .... Naing Naing "Toothbrush Fever" on ..Itunes....... ...... .... Live set list as of June 2008:.... 1 - Intro medley (Doing time + wind & rain + Le Coq Mégalo).. 2 - Animal Hop remix .. 3 - Mind the step.. 4 - Greensleeves.. 5 - Chocolate addict at the dentist.. 6 - Ice cube gamelan (in pelog).. 7 - Washing machine goes to Froggland.. 8 - Sadisco.. 9 - Quack addiction.. 10 - Rock'n'Roll Technical School (Ramones).. 11 - Sarabande (by Haendel - cricket & gong).. 12 - Brosse à dance.. 13 - Webbed.. 14 - Animal Farm Blues.. 15 - Toadstools.. 16 - Mi Ma La Bu .... About me: Naing Naing is my Burmese name. My original French name is François. Long ago I played guitar in late .. HEIMAT-LOS.. (Pioneering Hardcore Punk in France in the 80s), then I played in .. TEAR OF A DOLL.. (that has merged Hardcore punk, Experimental, Avant / Noise rock, Prog-rock & indian music in the 90s). I also appear on some recordings by COSTES, COSMIC WURST and WIDE OPEN CAGE..... I have been involved in learning languages (mostly from Asia like Japanese & Burmese) and some exotic musical instruments: Saung (Burmese Harp) and a few others from India & Indonesia I eventually had to drop by lack of time (tabla, sitar, gamelan...) After spending 6-7 years in Myanmar (Burma), working as an interpreter for a famous humanitarian organization, I finally came back to my home town Paris in 2006. I'm the father of two half Japanese girls... .. I am running the following myspace profiles : .... NAING NAING (since 1999).. TEAR OF A DOLL 2nd era (since 1992).. TEARS OF A DOLL 1st era (1988-1992).. HEIMAT-LOS (1983-1988).... ...... .... ...... .... ...... ...... .. ...... .... ...... .... VISITOR MAP (starting Sept 3rd, 2006) : ........ GENERATE YOUR OWN WORLDMAP NOW! .... ...... .... ....

    Naing Naing - Toadstools live session at Epsilonia Radio Show, Radio Libertaire, Paris (this is virtual tabla in Jhaptaal - a 10 beat indian rythm - ending as it should be with a "tihai") : .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... Naing Naing - Ice cubes in Pelog still on Epsilonia, May 2010. This an experimental version of a traditional indonesian composition (Gamelan – Central Java style) : .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... And why not checking the original gamelan composition (which is called "Serayu") : .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... In a nutshell : ..This guitar.. looks normal, but it ..is connected to the USB plug of a laptop..... It can plays melodies (ducks, ice cubes tuned to Central Java Pelog scale, train whistles, birds, Iranian santur, etc...), it can play simultaneously several sounds, I mean chords (like slowed down burmese crickets + re-tuned Burmese gongs in "Barry Lyndon" Haendel's Sarabande), it also starts, stops or modifies rythmic patterns... ...... .. ..(Naing Naing live at Musiques Volantes festival, Metz, Fr. July 2008).. .... Naing Naing's .. virtual tabla.. consists in playing either tabla samples on finger pads or performing genuine tabla rythmic pattern with non-tabla sounds or even both at the same time as in the live versions of "Mind the step" (metamorphosing footsteps in a staircase into a tabla composition) and "Toadstools" (with each finger triggering 3 types of sounds simultaneously : drums, tabla bols and rythmic frog samples). .... ...... .... Concrète Pop rocks !!! Naing Naing "Quack addict" live in the streets of Paris, June 21st, 2008: .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ..Members:.... This is primarily François (aka Naing Naing)'s solo project.... ..Collaborators:.... - Djengo Hartlap has help me a lot at the beginning with the technology and still does all the mastering process. He also co-wrote "Brosse à Danse" & "Ice Cube Music 2"... - Miss Maya (Tear of a Doll) sings a few songs at most of the shows... - Orkhan Murat (Tear of a Doll, Nosfell) played the turkish drum sample... - Franck Sinistra (Fisherman, El Justiciero, Marijane Miracle) sang "Toad Fever". .... ...... .... ........ .. ...... .. ...... .... ...... .... ...... .... ...... .... Maya, Orkhan and myself also play(ed) in Tear of a Doll. Check this video (the live pictures are from a gig with NoMeansNo in Sept 1996 at the Bataclan, Paris, two days before I moved to Burma): .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

  • WOLFEST MUSIC FRANCE

    Le WOLFEST est à la recherche de groupes pour jouer à Paris à LA MACHINE DU MOULIN ROUGE, L’ALHAMBRA, LE CABARET SAUVAGE et LE BATACLAN, et à Lille au SPLENDID !!!! Tu as toujours rêvé que ton groupe soit choisi pour jouer dans les meilleures salles françaises ? Grâce au WOLFEST, c’est enfin possible ! Suite au succès sans précédent de la première édition du WOLFEST en Espagne, le festival, créé pour et par des musiciens, débarque en France ! Le WOLFEST est déjà considéré comme un tremplin incontournable et l’un des plus influents pour les groupes émergents. Le WOLFEST commence sa sélection pour l’édition française qui va débuter dès mars 2012. Tout d’abord, Wolfest et les musiciens signent un contrat d’engagement sur chaque évènement ! De plus, évitant les interminables étapes de sélection, la philosophie du WOLFEST est simple : Un concert WOLFEST à assurer durant lequel un jury professionnel récompensera le meilleur groupe en lui offrant la possibilité de jouer par la suite sur une salle, habituellement inaccessible aux groupes amateurs, pour un évènement phare: LES WOLFEST GOLD CHALLENGE ! Un deuxième groupe sera aussi élu par vote du public, et gagnera un ampli Orange ! Sur Paris, les concerts WOLFEST se dérouleront à La Machine du Moulin Rouge, au Cabaret Sauvage et à l’Alhambra et les WOLFEST GOLD CHALLENGE auront lieu au Bataclan ! Sur Lille, les concerts WOLFEST se dérouleront au Splendid dans un premier temps et pour les WOLFEST GOLD CHALLENGE, le lieu se confirmera dans les semaines qui arrivent ! Les WOLFEST GOLD CHALLENGE seront l’occasion de récompenser à nouveau, par un jury de professionnels, le meilleur groupe de la soirée! Celui-ci remportera un prix de 3000€ ! Le second groupe, élu par vote du public, sera pris en charge par WOLFEST pour aller jouer dans une salle partenaire WOLFEST en Italie ou en Espagne !! Mais le WOLFEST ne s’arrête pas là ! Il t’offre aussi la possibilité de participer aux évènements PROMO NIGHTS. Les PROMO NIGHTS sont la meilleure façon de faire la promo de ton groupe. L’événement est couvert par une campagne promotionnelle massive dans plusieurs médias partenaires mais aussi par les nombreuses personnes influentes de l’industrie musicale (éditeurs, producteurs, distributeurs, etc…) présentes chaque soir. Un CD Compilation, comprenant les meilleurs morceaux de chaque groupe participant, y sera distribué gracieusement au public et aux professionnels et, en plus, le jury récompensera le meilleur groupe de la soirée en lui permettant de jouer dans une des salles les plus importantes d’une autre ville française, et ainsi de toucher un nouveau public ! Indépendamment des résultats chaque soir, le WOLFEST remet à tous les groupes participants un jeu de photographies professionnelles et une vidéo Haute Définition de leur prestation sur scène en souvenir de ce qui sera, sans nul doute, une soirée inoubliable ! Donne la chance à ton groupe de vivre une aventure extraordinaire !!! Visite notre site internet, inscris-toi et participe !!! http://www.wolfestmusic.com/fr-index.php Et si tu n’habites ni Paris ni Lille, inscris-toi quand même ! Dès que nous aurons suffisamment d'inscrits dans une même ville, on y lancera le Festival ! Merci de faire tourner l'info !
