about

***************************************************************************

Talfast est né du désir de Robert Auclair et Antoine Létourneau-Berger, tous deux musiciens du groupe rock instrumental Opossaum, de donner dans la musique électronique.

Armés chacun d'un clavier et d'un ordinateur, ils ont commencés à jouer ensemble, à expérimenter les possibilités de leurs outils. Peu à peu, l'esthétique musicale de Talfast s'est formée, faisant place à une musique «tricotée serrée», inventive, complexe, hétéroclite, très riche et vivante par ses mélodies, ses harmonies colorées et ses rythmes éclatés. Le duo ne peut se rattacher à un style en particulier, leur éventail sonore diversifié justifiant bien la volonté de se laisser porter par leurs élans musicaux changeants. Talfast se situe quelque part entre les jeux vidéo, les ninjas, les galaxies et Igor Stravinski. Parmi leurs influences «électro», on retrouve certainement Ratatat, Nine Inch Nails, Bonobo, The Glitch Mob, Murcof, Pantha du Prince, Akido, Amon Tobin, etc. Tout au long du processus de composition, ils cherchaient à pouvoir reproduire leur musique complexe aussi bien sur scène que sur disque, ce qui leur demanda une organisation considérable. Depuis un an, ils ont accumulé les compositions et lancent maintenant leur premier album intitulé «La machination».

Robert Auclair and Antoine Létourneau-Berger, two musicians from the instrumental rock band Opossaum, decided to start a duo named Talfast, determined to explore deeper electronic music.

Both using a controller keyboard and a laptop, they began playing together to experiment the possibilities of their tools. A few months later, Talfast’s musical esthetic was born. Their music appeared to be inventive, complex, motley, full of rich melodies, atmospheres, colored harmonies and trash-funky-distorted rhythms. The duo can’t be classified into one single genre, because of their sound diversity that justifies the willingness to follow their constantly-changing musical mood. Talfast is somewhere between video games, ninjas, galaxies and Igor Stravinsky. Their electro influences include certainly Ratatat, Nine Inch Nails, Bonobo, The Glitch Mob, Murcof, Pantha du Prince, Akido, Amon Tobin, etc.

Throughout the process of composition, they kept in mind that their music had to be played on stage, which required considerable organization. After a year of work, they accumulated plenty of songs and are now releasing their first album, «La machination».
