No Concert Planned.
Since 2002, the year that he found a Palace Brothers cassette tape that had been carelessly left in a dresser, Vincent Dupas has become est MY NAME IS NOBODY. Though Will Oldham and other american folk music are important influences, it is equally as important to sometimes forget them and put them back into their drawers. He recorded his first songs on a four-track, then found himself before the public on a european tour with the math-rock duo ROOM 204 in 2005, like a young Dylan trying to seduce the riotous Black Sabbath crowd. He went on to record his first album ‘I hope you're well, I am and I send you my fingers' in August of 2005 with sound engineer Miguel Constantino (put out by the Collectif-Effervescence en mai 2006). The writing of Vincent Dupas masterfully recreates the feeling of the wide open North American space- a vulnerable territory which lays its barren of myths, the negative of the picturesque american dream. In order to invoke the atmosphere, he surrounds himself with the ‘Desert Foxes' : Erwan Fauchard on bass, Franzl O'Gautreau on drums, and Faustine Seilman on the piano. They accompany MNIN on stage across France and Europe.
In 2006 and 2007, Vincent Dupas wrote and toured with Faustine Seilman (Collectif-Effervescence 2007) and purged himself with Fordamage (screeching noise-rock). In 2008, he has turned a new page with a solo album entitled "At the wolf pit" a clear/unclouded and spontaneous recording with the help of Antoine Lacoste in October of 2007 and Jonathan Seilman in March of 2008.
Although "At the wolf pit" still walks along the trodden path of folk music, Dupas doesn't stop this time at the frontier of the United States; rather, he moves towards the music of the East, adapting in English an old Hungarian traditional song (‘Hidegen fújnak a szelek', ‘winds are blowing cold'), and even breathes winds that descend from Ireland and Scotland.
The stories of MNIN evoke God, protest, unjustified death, the tribulations of old age, power and meditation. With a lighter tone, he revisits "Eye in the Sky" by Alan Parson Project, and the album closes with a re-adaptation of a song from his first opus, a special wink at a certain friend.
