Jesus Is My Son / Solah
Jesus Is My Son is the contemplative solo project by the experimental guitarist GRÉGORY DUBY.
He is active in the field of noisy and improvised music, living and composing in Brussels, Belgium. During 10 years, he played in the noise rock trio K-BRANDING. Thereafter he formed the experimental band ZOHO (with AYMERIC DE TAPOL, ARNAUD PAQUOTTE and BENJAMIN CHAVAL). He has played with experimental musicians such as OLIVIER TOULEMONDE and BEN BERTRAND. In Jesus Is My Son, he emphasizes with his electric guitar the silence within melodies. Beside his activities as a musician, he owns the label FF HHH and manages with two friends MANDAÏ DISTRIBUTION, an international independent distributor of alternative music.
Jesus Is My Son contains elements of minimalism, folk music and contemporary music, as well as compositions based on ambient, oriental and medieval music. Aspiring to create melancholic and naked music, Grégory Duby's influences range from ERIK SATIE to DEREK BAILEY via POPOL VUH and LOREN CONNORS. Jesus Is My Son invites the audience to listen contemplatively to the electric guitar.
Since 2020, SOLAH is the new name given to Grégory Duby's solo project. SOLAH is the acronym of "Songs of Love and Heat" which pays indirect tribute to the album "Songs of Love and Hate" by LEONARD COHEN. It is also the title of a previous Jesus Is My Son album released in 2016 on INI.ITU.

It accentuates that love incorporates also lightness thanks to the innocent trust in love.

03/02/2023 > Satan Day Night Fever @ Brass
Le label bruxellois Cheap Satanism Records a passé le cap des 13 années de service en octobre dernier. Si l'on en croit sa page Facebook, il promet que "beaucoup de choses vont se passer sous cette bannière, 666 projets au moins !" Si le label est encore loin d'avoir atteint le nombre promis, il n'a pas chômé pour autant et affiche plus de 60 sorties avec pas moins 40 artistes et 100 événements au compteur. Il compte encore bien améliorer ses statistiques avec ce Satan Day Night Fever de derrière les fagots.
Au programme: 3 jours mêlant concerts, exposition et petit salon de distros et micro-éditions.
Pour l'exposition, Cheap Satanism Records a proposé une carte blanche à ses camarades du Sterput, la galerie d'art associative bruxelloise qu'on ne présente plus vraiment.Au niveau musique, il y aura du beau monde. Le vendredi fera place à un trio de duos avec Trotski Nautique (synth-pop minimaliste drolatique), Alk-a-line (électro sonique ensorcelé) et Heimat (avant pop post-wave). Le samedi sera plus minimaliste avec Solah qui jouera les reprises dépouillées de son dernier album et Lotissement qui viendra présenter un set ambiant préparé pour l'occasion. Enfin, le dimanche, on terminera avec la disco doom satanique de Duflan Duflan.
Si la répétition des références sataniques vous fait peur, n'ayez crainte, car il est plus question ici de poil à gratter que de boucs sacrifiés.
