About
Quintron (a.k.a. Jay Poggi) is a wildly inventive multi-instrumentalist who plays keyboards, guitar, and drums, as well as synthesizers and drum machines that he builds himself. <i>Sucre du sauvage</i> was recorded with his wife and musical partner, Miss Pussycat, in 2010 at the New Orleans Museum of Art during a three-month residency in which they set up a recording studio as an exhibit, performed daily in public, and created the album from the results. (The exhibit was called <i>Parallel Universe: Quintron and Miss Pussycat Live At City Park</i>.) Quirky, funky, leftfield pop tunes dominate the first half of the album, propelled by frenetic, hard-swinging organ grooves and fleet drumming. Miss Pussycat’s vocals steal the show on “Banana Beat” and “Spirit Hair.” The deconstruction that comes with the second half of the album is a complete surprise. Beginning with “Elevator” and continuing through the closer, “Morning,” he forms moody, layered soundscapes from bits of instrumentation and field recordings of weather, birdcalls, traffic, and other ambient sounds of New Orleans. A combination of performance art, concept album, and experimental sound collage.

"Quintron's home recording studio was installed in this museum for 3 months. He chose lady-portraits from NOMA's collection to adorn the walls. For the final week of the exhibit, Quintron did not leave the swampy grounds of City Park. That time was spent making field recordings and partying with ducks in a tent erected in the Sculpture Garden. The final result is this murky nectar offered here to you. The Sucre du SAUVAGE!!"
