Rapid presentation of the protagonists :
- Cartesian Lover is the result of a collaboration between
visual artist Elizabeth Tesla and sonic composer Wayne Frost.
The set can range from melodic ambient to deconstructed
rythms in which they combine live electronic music compositions
with live video mixes, vocal narratives and whatever they
found.
- St Eve, represented here by *splendid* Gabrielle,
singress of the band, usually composed of Fred Ditman (Bass/Keys),
Kerry Smith (Guitars) and A.J. Tissian (Drums). This band
was founded in 1998 in Manhattan (NY) and gave its first
gigs in 2000 in NY cabarets and goth party, although their
style can extend apart from the goth. for more infos: www.sainteve.net.
Part one : Cartesian Lover

Wayne offered us an hyptnotic and hysterical live mix supported
by Betty's images loops, dissolves and effects in a crazy
style melting archive images, film extracts, photographs,
TV clips ... Beautiful, though a little short (but I am
not objective since they could have continued like that
all the night, that would not have disturbed me) after a
salutary break to make it possible the synapses to connect
back to their neighbours, the second so much awaited part
arrives: :
Saint Eve.

Gabrielle, sitting in the middle of a white tule sea, contrasting
with her red hair, small devil's wings and *minimalist*
top of leather starts to sing (Cartesian Lover dealing of
sounds and video projections) and immediately collects the
attention of the room by its sublime voice. The set continue
and the beauty take her clothes progressively out, revealing
a dress in strass under the white tule sea, then a *very
very* moulding trousers. The show goes on (of which
Otherworldly Mammal, my favourite) and Gabrielle as charmed
the public which doesn't want to let her leave!
After long applause and a well deserved recall, she offers
us "Home", still a superb piece and she makes a small French
speech (in which we briefly learn that she had made some
French studies).
Thanks to Gabrielle, Cartesian Lover, Tom and the "Les Caves"
for this good concert.
