Today we dive into the heart of experimental musical experiences that have been expressions of genuine countercultural movements on our continent. In particular, the lettrist movement. What more could you ask for from a record that is part of the #zot showcase, after all.

Fille Qui Mousse - Trixie Stapleton 291 - Se Taire Pour Une Femme Trop Belle (1973)
Recorded in 1971, 'Trixie Stapleton 291 - Se Taire Pour Une Femme Trop Belle' (originally released by the French label Futura, but subject to various reissues over the last twenty to twenty-five years) can be considered the culmination of an experience that began in the post-war period in Paris, France, by this collective called Fille Qui Mousse, an expression of the counterculture of the French capital and a continuation of the avant-garde of the lettrist movement founded by Isidore Isou. Since the movement was born with the intent to renounce the use of words, employing poetic, sound, onomatopoeia, and musicality of speech, we find all these elements in this record as well. Indeed, tracks like 'Transcription', 'Transplantation', 'Fraicheur Et Amalgame', and 'Quatriéme épisode' can be seen as brief experiments in this regard. However, even 'Esplanade', despite its extended duration of eight minutes, is based on the same mechanisms, particularly experiments related to the use of voice. Other pieces, like 'Cantate Disperate', an instrumental track based on a vigorous bassline, 'Antinomique', which evokes Middle Eastern sounds, and 'L'eau était vital', a long psychedelic composition straddling progressive impulses and a certain tropicalism, can be defined as more conventional episodes. A record that has been very influential in France and considered a benchmark by many groups, starting from the experience of Nurse with Wound led by Steve Stapleton.
