The Unexpected Waves Laboratory
LE CENTRE DE LA BOMBE
exploits the Elementary Rhythm of Matter
Created in Paris in 1987, Le Centre De La Bombe, is an appropriate space for musical Unexpected Ludic Audacities or Unlistened Cruel Temerities. It was located from 1992 to 1997 between the Basque Country (Atlantic Ocean) and Corsica (Mediterranean sea) in southwest of France. In 1998 Le Centre De La Bombe crossed the Atlantic Ocean to land in the USA. In agreement with the suggestions by Jean Dubuffet and E.M. Cioran, Le Centre De La Bombe trains "all sensitive operations to accelerate the process of decomposing established cultural principles." Le Centre De La Bombe, where "the caprice prevails over the moral sense," encourages the free and awakens minds against: "the embalmed aesthetism," "the amplification of false advertising success," "the mystification and the cultural conditioning," "the trifling characters of obedient works in a pre-deliberate mechanism," and the safety standardized comfort for "un- and over cultured people".
LE CENTRE DE LA BOMBE IS A NON-SUBSIDIZED MUSICAL EXPLORATION AND CREATION LABORATORY OPEN TO CREATORS OF THE WORLD

The objections that one makes you or even the questions that one asks you come always from the shore, and they are like lifesaver that one throw at you, but to knock you out and to prevent you to advance rather than to help you: the objections come always from mediocre persons [...]"
