Gangpol & Mit

As a music and graphic duet, Gangpol und Mit works on a peculiar world of digital pop inhabited by colourful and geometrical characters - a bestiary that evolves in lysergic musicals and takes part in apocalyptic cartoons.
In this project, music jumps from synth assaults and woody flute leads to mondo beats and cinematic harpsichord keys, with futuristic social songs wrapped in fake MIDI string quartet attempts. Meanwhile, on the visual side, salarymen dive into greasy food, call-center employees start a batucada, and computer motherboards are slaughtered on a wild island while some terrorist confettis explode everywhere.
Since 2002, this french project's specificity allows the band to play live all around the world, including tours in Japan and Mexico, and many AV related festivals like Mutek, Mapping, Cimatics . The duo's production spreads on various supports and kinds of releases, including a last up to date DVD for the german graphic editor Pictoplasma, but also various records, exhibitions, workshops, lectures or commercial works.
They're also responsible for a side-project dedicated to children Carton Park, alongside Mami Chan and Norman Bambi, two musicians they regularly collaborate with.
Their sonic and visual world find its roots and echoes the humour of duos like Yello or Sparks, hybrid arrangements of the french François de Roubaix, and narrative sides of cartoon and graphic novel classics, occasionally reappropriating moods and tips from many adventurous music styles: digital cumbia, shibuya-kei, synthetic funk or disco dangdut.
