Combine ‘noise’ and ‘opera’ and out comes the name of Costes. For many, many years now he presents noise performances, which he sometimes calls operas. Costes, together with Cock ESP’s member Elyse Perez, are responsible for the text portion of ‘We Would Be Happy’, a noise opera, with sound contributions from people like Smell & Quim, Lasse Marhaug, KK Null, Richard Ramirez and Cock ESP. The nice thing is however that each of the artists is reworking/remixing material by the others. It’s hard to decipher the texts sung by Costes and Perez, but a glimpse at the titles (‘je T’aime Mon Amour’, ‘French Kiss’, ‘Such A Beauty’, ‘I Want You’ aswell as ‘Racist/Fascist’, ‘My Knife Was Never Sharp’, ‘You Can’t Escape’), this is probably another mixture of Costes obsessions with love and death – the usual misery. Overall the music is loud, noisy and dirty and nothing new under the noise sun, but the whole context of a noise opera makes this guy have a smile on his face.
