Èlg is the french musician Laurent Gérard. He drew for ten years the sonic equivalent of concentric spirales and labyrinths made of intestines and thujas. For that, he uses a wide range of approaches and tools. He firstly worked on song-format manipulations through psychedelic distorsions and quicksands experiments (Tout Ploie, 2008, Kraak and SS Records). Following that he put together voices and lost sounds in four dimensions collages, the result is a mouvement taking inspiration as much in sound poetry than stand-up comedy or mescalin mix diary (Capitaine Présent 5, 2009, Nashazphone). Then he met Ghédalia Tazartès and Jo T. They co-founded the band Reines d'Angleterre characterized by living gargoyles singings and improvised electro-acoustic water cascades. Interested in the idea of injecting psychedelic spirals in industrial trance, Jo and Èlg founded the duet Opéra Mort ("dirty and futuristic" said Metamkine). In his last two albums (Mil Pluton, 2012, Alter & Hundebiss Records and La Chimie, 2013 SDZ Records) Èlg has gathered, in a same hypnotic line, esperanto pocket-opera, musique concrète, bubbled electronic and cosmic pop. Èlg has collaborated with Smegma, Jean-Philippe Gross, Ignatz, Jakob Olausson, Tomutonttu, TG Gondard, Ghédalia Tazartès, Fusiller, Duncan Pinhas, Heatsick, and others.
