The era of lockdown and social distancing has been a challenge for musicians on many levels. Lack of income from live performances, lack of access to their audience and isolation from their normal social and artistic circles are just a few.
However, difficult times have also led to some interesting solutions. Musicians are nothing if not creative.
This live set by Thylacine has been one of the most enjoyable sessions I've seen for a while, showcasing one of the most innovative figures in French electronic music on a unique stage. Versailles provides a spectacular backdrop, its opulence, grandeur and sheer size contrasting with the solo figure filling the air of this historic monument with the most modern of sounds.
But the size of the setting and the empty spaces also suggests the lack of an audience, he's facing empty space and alone on stage. No surprise that a live date he had scheduled in Paris for next month has been postponed until November.
Thylacine's recently released a new single 1978, a collaboration with Yan Wagner, from the soundtrack for the French TV show OVNI(s).
