Fugues is a collective/nebula created in Paris, France in 2005. Today refocused around the tandem formed by founding member Jerome Olivier (words & ideas) and Julie Calbert (photographs), Fugues was originally a collection of interviews, contemplative prose writings and photographies published in 2006. This single eponymous 'magazine' gave birth to a healthy series of concerts and festivals in Paris, France : Fugues concerts, festivals Meeting People Is Easy, merry.go.round evenings. Exhausted by the ambient mediocrity, Fugues put an end to its live activities in summer 2008 after having hosted and supported the first steps in France by artists such as The Sleeping Years, July Skies and Epic45. Fugues has launched a series of CD-R compilations (the 'Unreleased tracks' trilogy) in 2007.

Fugues unreleased tracks 2008 by Fugues

We would like to raise the sails. Abandon those who brood, those who separate. Feeling the heat of August and its stars, patient until the end of the day.
We yearn for twilight, blue, loneliness. Small things that move about our empty spaces. We would like a few diversions too. Lights, blurred lines. December's skies. Something that stretches under the sheets and shivers only when it doesn't speak. Some ghosts, sighing bridges, arched churches and then the moon under a curtain of mist.
Awakening in silence upon hearing singing at night and observing from afar the surroundings, a vacuum, the absence: our shadows almost asleep.

All sold out.




" Fugues began as a magazine project of sorts, and was followed up by a series of concerts and a trio of collections, this being the last. Unreleased Tracks is dedicated to the memory of Dima T. Pilot (Bosch's With You), who passed on earlier this year. If this is the swan song for the Fugues project as well, they’ve gone out on top; but I for one am hoping for more. On the basis of both individual tracks and the album as a whole, we’re unlikely to hear a better compilation of previously-unreleased material this year."
Richard Allen / The Silent Ballet, 2009


Thanks to all the artists involved over the years.
Also thanks to everyone who bought a copy.
Our best wishes for 2010.
