ABOUT CINEMA DU LYON: Cinema du Lyon are a European art/music group with the self-avowed intent of being "as pretentious as possible". Amoral rather than immoral, they shun publicity at all times, with the intention of creating a more ego-less space for their consummate artifice to construct within the imagination of their unprepared audience. They constantly collaborate, and release very little of their compositions, preferring to infiltrate the real world and non-music spaces in unexpected ways via guerilla methods.

Their first public performance was at the Hanbury Ballroom, Brighton, April 2004. They played cards, smoked Gauloises, read Le Monde, and treated the astonished audience to art. By the end of the performance, with the venue resounding to avant-garde beats and fabulous visuals, they were celebrating with flowers and champagne at the bar.

Cinema du Lyon - "The Particle Zoo"
"If you would be a real seeker after truth,
it is necessary that at least once in your life
you doubt, as far as possible, all things." - René Descartes
Full of shifting possibilities, alive with a seething miasma of portent, a fiercesome force of nature - "The Particle Zoo" is a place for the uncaged.

Shredding all previous works to relay an absolute truth about the new environmental sonic landscape that escaped from the laboratory and found its way into the world, full of awe, a measurement in the strength of the aural message, given that this is not a pipe, but a maze, lies in the unwavering conviction of the artists themselves to achieve excess in the name of truth itself.

"The Particle Zoo" is Cinema du Lyon's twelfth audio collection, but the first to be made publicly available, the previous eleven having been private commissions and art events.
