About Me

Novellists/No Chorusis a concept album featuring texts from great novels read by the time Bethmann Hollweg Bout discovered rock'n'roll... 1980's...With unaware guests such as Richard Brautigan, Henry Miller, John Fante, William Burroughs, Michael Ondaatje, Jack Kerouac, Vladimir Nabokov, Norman Baker, Jim Thompson, Thomas Pynchon, and so on...Texts have not been chosen for their easy-to-chorus qualities, nor for their litterary interest. Actually these anecdotes were stucked in mind all these years...Three songs are finished now. Eight more at least would follow..."These are the killed" from "The Collected Works of Billy The Kid" by Michael Ondaatje, "Model T" from "The Nothing Man" by Jim Thompson and "The Haunted Heart" by Richard Brautigan open the gig... //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////Novellists/No chorusest un concept-album dont tous les textes proviennent de romans lus à une époque où Bethmann Hollweg Bout découvrait le rock'n'roll...Avec des invités commis d'office comme Richard Brautigan, Henry Miller, John Fante, William Burroughs, Michael Ondaatje, Jack Kerouac, Vladimir Nabokov, Norman Baker, Jim Thompson, Thomas Pynchon, etc.Les textes n'ont pas été choisis pour leur facilité à être mis en refrain, au contraire, ni non plus pour leur intérêt littéraire. Ce sont plutôt des anecdotes qui sont restées gravées depuis tout ce temps...On commence par "These are the killed" issue de "The Collected Works of Billy The Kid" de Michael Ondaatje, "The Haunted Heart" de Richard Brautigan et "Model T" issue de "The Nothing Man" de Jim Thompson...
