Following several years of relative silence, there’s been some movement from the Justice camp, with a new single, “CIVILIZATION” promised next month and appearing in an Adidas ad. But there’s been more happening in the background, including Gaspard Auge participation on the soundtrack for Rubber, the a new film by director and electro auteur Quentin Dupieux (aka Mr. Oizo). Gaspard is usually considered the “quiet one” in Justice interviews, but URB got to ask him a few questions about the new project and of course, what’s up with his day job?
I’ve always had a soft spot for beards, so it was very natural to go and work with Quentin. Quentin is really a very straight-forward guy, music and movie-wise there no happy ending. There’s nothing expectable, and this is really rare and highly enjoyable.
I spend so much time with Xavier that we think alike, speak alike, eat alike, which is quite convenient for the Justice project. Working with Oizo was good to temper this identity crisis, same for Xavier to produce Jamaica’s record.
I’m not too keen on B-movies. I do think it’s a luxury you can afford when you’re done with the A-movies, I still have to watch all of those, but Rubber is amazingly free, with none of all the so-called indie movies codes and clichés. Quentin is to me the last or the first of the mohicans.
For me it was the perfect opportunity as most of my melodic ideas come from french movies scores. It’s a blend between François De Roubaix, Vladimir Cosma, Philip Glass and a chainsaw. But it’s not something we would be interested in for Justice, as we love the “pop” format of it.
