Tempomat
Aus Der Reihe Derrick
And so it started with an astonishing conjuction of circumstances, a lockdown, an unspeakable passion for Inspektor Derrick mixed with a long and precious love for the Korg MS10. The streets were empty and the page was still blank for Jonathan Lieffroy, overactive self-taught musician from France. He who had always played with his mates in bands such Last Night, Master Master Wait or Infecticide was now facing his own self, his own desires, and on his own confession this thought was pretty appealing. The lack of time due to the velocity of modern life rarely allow this kind of opportunity, this lockdown was a blessing in disguise and after all, he had nothing to lose. An imaginary OST for a curious German TV program from the '70s came out from his imagination. 10 instrumental songs of dark disco fulfilled with freakish synthetic noises and evocative beats from the last century. But it would have been too easy to stop there, life took up its course again and this weird musical object took life as Tempomat, a three piece live band. And as cherry on the black forest cake, the band will play as live cinema. Co-release by Viro Major Records and Les Disques Mauvais Garçons. Limited to 300 copies.
