In opposition to the techno pop, dark-wave or again synth-pop movements, LIPSTANDÄRD uses analog synthesizers to create an anti-pop music. It doesn't share the same contemporary world as it remains freak, low-fi, cynical rough, crafty and 16-bits. We are a studio band that make the demo & improvisation schedule a way of creating real music. If you were looking for business stuffs, go back to your candy hell !Band/artist history
In november 2004, I've stopped my solo project WHILE COLD BLUE (experimental cold wave) that lasted 4 years (2000-2004) to form a new one, called LIPSTANDÄRD. More than a simply change of name, it was a musical evolution : let down rock filiations within new wave to a handle a personnal style amongst only-old-synth music.
At the very beginning, I was only sure of a thing : I had to stop playing bass and guitar to focalize on a spiritual instrument, the synthesizer. To be honest, I knew nothing about that instrument as 2 years before I found by random a full-working YAMAHA CS01 mkII for 3 Eur and didn't find the difference between it and a ROLAND XP80. But, thanks to the impulsion of Rigeck Rodgers & some web info, the synthetic world became more real.
After 3 months of musical research, LIPSTANDÄRD really begun with a first & self-titled EP of 8 tracks (released on january 2005 as "LIPSTANDÄRD I"). I actually composed and played note by note 100% of the tracks. And, in spite of any label or press/web support, 6 albums & 2 singles have been done under that lonely schedule / solo phase.
In 2005, on may 22nd to be sharp, I've discovered A8 (aka MODEL A6A), an all-white & pure 80's class model in the streets of a lost town. She was still, all alone, not friendly, quite an alien... a NUWOMAN to say the truth ! The fact that she happened to share my musical & mental trip was a gift. So, as an evidence, I asked her to join me in order to make possible my long-dreamed concept of duo-couple band. Now LIPSTANDÄRD is a real group formed by A8 and ALAN B YOND !
The new line-up of LIPSTANDÄRD has released 2 new singles and is actually thinking/working on a 7th album that would bring a further musical step (especially on the rhythmic elaboration & pass from minimal demotrack to the 12-16 tracks wall of sound). It may take time to achieve it...Have you performed in front of an audience?Even if we actually play by hands and record in real time, we don't play live. Who would want to see us ? Where ?! Anyway, it's technically impossible to play live our 8-16 tracks songs as we are 2 and have only 2 hands each ! We would need 4 other members (that would share our musical point of view too...) to present some of our 57 songs within a faithfull rendering of the records version.
