I FEEL LIKE A BOMBED CATHEDRAL is a project from Amaury Cambuzat – founder of French avant garde experimentalists ULAN BATOR and guitarist with Krautrockers faUSt.
The electric guitar stands as analogue to the cathedral: a blown-out shell echoing with imposing history, lineage, collapse and eternal potential. Amaury has conjured a haunted space inviting us to roam firm structures torn to chaotic edges; glimpsed hardness grown over organic and lush. The sounds whisked up around us, from the most minimal to the most densely symphonic, remind us we stand in a place dedicated to the profound.
Between the instrument and the image stands the man himself. Amaury’s approach throughout I Feel Like A Bombed Cathedral speaks to his memories and lived experience - graduation from the classical conservatory in western Paris, his discovery of the guitar at age fourteen, his lifelong quest to infuse this instrument with fresh life.
I FEEL LIKE A BOMBED CATHEDRAL is a testament to the past, to desecrated presents, and to the sacred horizon that is the future…The unchanging future which is always hope of change.
