Comment: the French surrealist Chenard Walcker
started off his music career in the beginning of the 00s additionally his
visual collage projects. He had been very prolific during the next 4-5 years in
producing music before he fell in diabetic coma. Most of his sound is produced under
his own Free Sample Zone though some of them are being parts of the discography
of WM Recordings, Comfort Stand, and Laboratoire Moderne. Musically he continued
to solidify the tradition of plunderphonics and sample-based music (John
Oswald, People Like Us, Pogo, Cagey House, Christian Marclay, Cassetteboy, The
Evolution Music Committee, Ergo Phizmiz etc). The Pusher is built up on the black music tradition (mostly
US-based but also suggestive of some Africa centred futuristic progressions) but
also adding some volatile art/prog music whiffs and ecclesiastic Catholic
singing into his melting pot. The result is seamlessly mesmeric, persuasive and
may be introducing to discover the rest legacy of the French juggernaut.
