Photomontages

The education of Chenard Walcker holds in the following formula: surrealist Altruism . Also, it is impassioned very early for the techniques of the Collage which it first of all exploits in the visual field. On this subject, it quotes Raoul Hausmann: “the process of joining can reveal in the world its own nonsense” . But it gives up quickly the Photomontage S to concentrate on the exploitation of the Collage in the musical field.

He comments on his practice as follows: “To cause the meeting has for me a cathartic value. It is my means of " to restick the morceaux" , to restore what was broken. ” and these remarks seem applicable as much to its many albums.

Sonomontages

Chenard tries to explore the possibilities of a music only made starting from Sample S. the various sources are reassembled automatically by Collage then worked over again in order to create a new music, which wants to be largely independent of the pieces used. The recontextualization of “completed” work can, according to him, being made in an ethical way and being regarded in oneself as a work of author with whole share.

In 2006, because its Diabetes, Chenard ceased making the music. Weirdomusic, one of its labels organizes an album of homage for him.
