By 2004, I had already produced several mini-albums under the name Camp, most of which were released not long after, on the No Type, Panospria, BricoLodge, On Sunday Mornings and…
This mini-album is the first thing I composed under the name Camp. It was the year 2000. After the Period Three experience, I wanted to change my style, work with…
Produced during the year 2000, Morose Beach is a kind of “follow-up” to Auld Cove (rereleased on No Type earlier this year). This time, it’s a previously unreleased album that…
Fall 1999, David Turgeon, still using his Period Three moniker, copy-pasted a bunch of samples from various sources within the Acid 1.0 sequencing software. He turned in eight very singular…
Dear Camp, can’t you just leave poor techno music alone? Look what you’ve done to those nice, tender beats: now they’ve turned dirty, broken & twisted. We thought we had…
Pop songs about changing the cat litter & paying the rent? Cutting edge disco/hip-hop beats set to a formidably sketchy sensibility? Sophisticated songwriting that’s got nothing against good straight talk…
Seven years ago, Asyncdrone (David Turgeon et Kaia Wong, to whom was added Napalm Jazz saxophonist Philémon) went in studio to record the follow-up to insurpassable lo-fi slop fest We…
Camp, the original beat mangler from Montréal, is back with a vengeance, which as expected is best served cold (make that “perfect for the summer!”). Three brand new tracks in…
In addition to the tracks from the Free transgénique album and several live recordings, the Napalm Jazz collective has also produced a number of “home recordings” that were never released…
For Thistles 04, the last and unfinished installement in the series, David Turgeon is joined by Philémon. Here, we can hear the seeds of their future musical preoccupations as well…
Thistles 03 is the third installement in a series of four. This time, David Turgeon, inspired by Lyrical Abstraction, created perplexing atmospheres made with wide strokes of digital processing.
Thistles 02 is the second installement in a series of four. For these compositions, David Turgeon used non-sound data files as their sole sound sources, and the sound matter is…
Originally, Thistles 01 is the first installement of four very limited self-released albums. Distinct from David Turgeon’s compositions of the same period under the name Period Three, these pieces have…
The new Camp EP is the product of a composer turned bitter and mean with time. It’s also extremely groovy and sometimes poignant. So we’re not too mad at him.
On this previously unreleased album, we find again this familiar preoccupation of Period Three to work within a limited set of parameters — here a single software, Rebirth, emulating diverse…
Camp socialiste no 1 (Montréal), by David Turgeon, is a modular composition for prepared CDs. Performed in solo as well as in groups of 2 to 5 participants, it is…
L’orchestre de granulation was a longtime dream project of A_dontigny. After many failed attempts due to lack of funding or of an appropriate venue, L’orchestre de granulation finally took the…
Camp’s grooves are broken but insistant. Camp’s bleeps and beats are so odd and unusual, yet they result in a gut-renching emotional triumph! This is the minimalist glitchy passion of…
Uncovered from the archives of Camp, these seven tangents in minimal techno were recorded prior to his album Féministe on No Type.
Three tracks of glitchy, minimal (& yet quite eventful) improv from Cal Crawford (computer), David Turgeon (computer) & Jon Vaughn (three no-input mixing boards). Edited & produced by Cal Crawford.
An impromptu improv session between A_dontigny (turntable), David Turgeon (computer processing) & Kaia Wong (Korg keyboard).
The return of David Turgeon, for the first time under the Camp moniker, with 6 tracks of leftfield post-clickhouse with perplexing stereo panning effects. Soundwalk features Kaia Wong on vocals.
L’île de béton is the duo of David Turgeon (Camp, Period Three) & A_dontigny (Napalm Jazz, Morceaux_de_machines), alternately playing a Casio keyboard & an old turntable. As is to be…
This is the fourth No Type release from David Turgeon & the last under the Period Three moniker. Unlike previous releases under that name, this 6-track EP explores the realms…
Third No Type release for Period Three, this one features 4 tracks of quirky, jumpy IDM that are much harder to describe than they are to listen to. To add…
The full-length recording from Asyncdrone, featuring the core duo of Kaia Wong & David Turgeon, augmented of Dave Negley (guitar) & Sue Kim (flute) in selected tracks. This no-fi adventure…
This mini-EP is the second No Type release by Period Three (David Turgeon), then still in his Rebirth phase. It consists of two exclusive tracks & two remixes. The title…
Debut solo album from Period Three, guaranteed 95% Rebirth 1.0! The remaining 5% are vocals recorded through a cheap Radio Shack microphone… On the course of these 8 tracks, the…
Debut 8-track EP from the duo of David Turgeon (Period Three, Camp) & Kaia Wong (Anaesthesia). Asyncdrone is the meeting of obscure rock & nebulous production methods, all rolled into…
David Turgeon releases solo electronic music under the name Camp since 2000. Before that, he was known under the name Period Three.
