カナダ、モントリオール出身、現在はベルリンを拠点に活動するアーティスト、Guillaume。ソロプロジェクトであるGuillaume & the Coutu Dumontsを始め、Egg、Luci、Chic Miniatureといった名義で多くの作品をリリースしている。
大学でラテンミュージックを学び、funk／jazzバンドでのパーカッション奏者としての経験を積んだGuillaumeは、やがてエレクトロニックミュージックに傾倒しトラック製作に注力して行くこととなる。これまでに、Akufenが手掛けることで知られるレーベルMusique Risqueeからのアルバムを始め、OSLO、Raum… Musik、MUTEK_recといった数々の人気レーベルからのリリースを重ねてきている。その研ぎ澄まされたリズム感、磨き上げられた演奏テクニックによってfunk、house、techno、gospel、afro-beatなど、多様なサウンドを融合し、オリジナリティ溢れる雑食グルーヴを創り上げている。
また、コンピューターを操作しながらパッドを叩くライブパフォーマンスでは、躍動感溢れるリズムで頭の中を掻き回し、流れるように表情を変えながら、聴くもの全てをグルーヴの渦に巻き込んでいく。
最近では名門レーベルCircus Companyより集大成とも言えるアルバム“BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL”を発表し、トップアーティストとしての地位を確かなものとしている。
あらゆるリズムを吸収し、独自のスタイルへと昇華させるGuillaumeのサウンドを隅々まで体感出来るライブは、重く、激しく、温かく、そして深い。
Ever an energetic actor in the electronic music scene, Montreal based artist Guillaume Coutu Dumont maintains numerous collaborative projects, performing regularly in his hometown and around the world. Driven by his passion for hybrid forms of musical expression, Guillaume continues on his quest for the ultimate ham bone funk recipe with his solo project: Guillaume & the Coutu Dumonts a special blend of funk, house, techno, gospel, swing and afro-beat. His first album FACE ? L'EST was released in 2007 on Musique Risqu?, then an exclusive album for Japan through Timothy Really entitled “ 12 Inches All Dressed” in 2009 followed up by “BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL” in May 2010 on the French imprint Circus Company. So far, his solo outputs are available on MUTEK_rec, Musique Risqu?e, Hartchef Discos, Floppy Funk, OSLO, Raum Musik and on French labels Circus company and Karat.
Guillaume’s initial musical forays were as a percussionist in a funk band, after which he studied latin and classical percussions in college before discovering electro-acoustic composition, which he pursued further at university. It was during this period that he joined [iks], a contemporary jazz formation with whom he recorded two albums and toured for several months in Senegal. Upon his return to Montreal, Guillaume decided to focus his efforts on composition.
Influenced as much by concrete music as by techno, which he discovered one night in the midst of a lightning storm, Guillaume founded Egg (MUTEK_rec, Karat, Floppy Funk), Luci (MUTEK_rec, Morris Audio), Chic Miniature (Raummusik, Musique Risqu?e), Flabbergast (MUTEK_rec), as well as the artistic collective Racam. He has toured with one or another of these projects in north/south America, Europe and Asia.
Since January 2007, Guillaume has reached European soil. Like many other, he chose Berlin as his new home baseTraveling all around the block, he’s always looking to get the dance floors grinning with guilty pleasure. C’MON NOW SHAKE THAT ASS!
