''Nous Autres'' (Quebec French for "We") is a live album by Fred Frith and René Lussier recorded in October 1986 at the 4th Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville in Victoriaville, Quebec, Canada.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=4th Festival international de musique actuelle de Victoriaville )〕 The live mixes were later enhanced with additional material recorded by Frith and Lussier in December 1986 at a studio in Montreal, and the resulting album was released on LP in 1987. The album was released on CD in 1992 with four additional studio tracks recorded by Frith and Lussier in January 1992 in New York City. Three guest vocalists, Tenko Ueno (Japan), Geneviève Letarte (Canada) and Christoph Anders (Germany) sing on four of the album tracks in Japanese, French and German respectively. The LP release included a record sleeve insert with the lyrics in the original languages and translations to French and English. ''Nous Autres'' was Frith and Lussier's first collaborative recording and its success introduced Lussier, at the time not well known outside Quebec, to an international audience. ==Background== French experimental guitarist/composer René Lussier from Quebec, Canada had performed at the first three Victoriaville festivals,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1st Festival international de musique actuelle de Victoriaville archives )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2nd Festival international de musique actuelle de Victoriaville archives )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=3rd Festival international de musique actuelle de Victoriaville archives )〕 and for the fourth, festival artistic director Michel Levasseur suggested that Lussier play in a duo concert with English experimental guitarist/composer Fred Frith from Henry Cow. Henry Cow and the Rock in Opposition movement (initiated by Henry Cow) had been a big influence on Lussier, and he seized the opportunity to perform with Frith.〔 Also performing at this 4th Victoriaville festival was Cassiber, and two of its members, Chris Cutler (ex-Henry Cow) and Christoph Anders performed on two of the album's tracks, "Cage de Verre" and "J'Aime la Musique" respectively. An altered form of "J'Aime la Musique" was later frequently performed by Cassiber and appeared on their 1990 album, ''A Face We All Know''. The success of this concert prompted a number of future collaborations between Frith and Lussier: *Frith played on Lussier's solo album, ''Le Trésor de la Langue'' (1989); *Lussier played on two of Frith's solo albums, ''Quartets'' (1994) and ''Stone, Brick, Glass, Wood, Wire'' (1999); *Lussier was a member of two of Frith's bands, Keep the Dog (1989–1991) and the Fred Frith Guitar Quartet (1989–1999), and played on all their albums; *Lussier featured prominently in a documentary film on Frith, ''Step Across the Border'' (1990) and the accompanying soundtrack, ''Step Across the Border'' (1990). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nous Autres」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
