L'émission cuir cuir, as listeners used to call it in France, weave long sound travellings from independant exhilarating modern music to field recordings crossing tropical psychedelism, collective karaokes, asian twilights, polar winds, african pearls, haunting rainbows, eccentric outsiders, hypnotic fires, cosmic hip-hop, italian futurism, primitive oddities, transcendental waterfalls, out of tune acapellas, rainforest atmospheres, cathedral dancefloors, folk and pop oceanian festivities, igneous rocks, ice creams, my aunt's kitchen and maybe even your shower.

Each show is conceived as a one hour live act with the aim to build a peerless infectious pleasurable sound-spot in this solar system. Unorthodoxly juggling with field recordings and delicate, soothing, bouncy music, the cook cook show is often described as confectioner's custard but much better, and with candles on top.

the cook cook show = you can almost cry
Lalchand Bhagwandas, also named Johnny Mac Cook also named Beach also named Fanfare Cinéma also named Acapella Wizard, is born on the 25th mai 2001, in Nice, south France. Surf Champion between the age of five and six, he decides to stop all this slippery shit, in order to create The Susan Moonsie's Fan Club, named after a former Prince's college girlfriend, of whom he found a picture by chance on a flea market :
His new duty brings him all across the Côte d'Azur, riding behind Kevin Nature, his fourteen years old partner with a moped. Around the age of seven, Lalchand Bhagwandas, mysterious and as always dazzling, disappears during six month. Rumor has it that he went through an high-speed personal crisis, seeking origins in a long Georgian trip, and that he might have been initiate to some chamanistic mathematics. Anyway, upon his return, Lalchand Bhagwandas is listening to electronique baroque music. Often, he plays a twelve cords classic guitar in his dark home made home studio. It is said that this is the time where he found his school, his academia, his group, his clique, some kind of coalescence said of the "Cook-Cook", whose discovery might help men to feel less alone inside. The students, the disciples, the epigones are not exactly selected, even though he check your teeth, your skull, your general physical condition, and then watches your social behaviour, your friends, your lineage, your way of laughing, Lalchand is up for almost anyone because Lalchand likes all types of teeth, all kind of skulls, all variety of lineage and laughs. For every show, his faithful akousmatikoi inform the world by flashing on and off their light switches, thus creating a dozen stroboscopic seconds, visible from the ERS-2, a mexican satelite. As he says himself, this show is from all five continents. This is how, for three years now, behind a purple curtain, Lalchand Bhagwandas hand out his Cook Cook thing, a mixture of political precepts, geometric rules and astronomical descriptions usually mounted as musical fables. He lives alone somewhere around the French-Italian frontier. He eats little, sleeps little. Sometimes, he leaves some milk for the cat of all gardens. He is eleven years old.

Lalchand Bhagwandas, dit Johnny Mac Cook dit Beach dit Fanfare Cinéma, dit Acapella Wizard, est né en le 25 mai 2001, à Nice. Champion de surf entre cinq et six ans, il décide de tout arrêter à six ans et demi pour co-fonder le fan club de Susan Moonsie, l'ancienne copine de collège de Prince, dont il a découvert une photo par hasard dans une brocante :
Ses nouvelles responsabilités l'entrainent alors aux quatre coins de la Côte d'Azur, trois années de "golden coast tour" à mobylette, derrière Kevin Nature, son associé qui a déjà quatorze ans. À sept ans, Lalchand Bhagwandas, mystérieux et toujours aussi fulgurant, disparaît pendant six mois. Des rumeurs parlent de crise intérieure, de recherche des origines, d'un long voyage en Géorgie et d'une initiation au chamanisme mathématique. Quoiqu'il en soit, à son retour, Lalchand Bhagwandas écoute de la musique baroque électronique. Régulièrement, il joue de la douze cordes classique dans un home-studio sombre et insonorisé artisanalement. On dit qu'à ce moment-là, il fonde son école, son académie, son groupe, sa coterie, un genre de coalition dite du "Cook-Cook", dont les découvertes aideront peut-être les hommes à se sentir moins seul. Les élèves, les disciples, les épigones, ne sont pas vraiment sélectionnés, même si d'abord, il vous regarde les dents, le crâne, la constitution physique, et qu'ensuite, il vous regarde vivre, vos fréquentations, votre lignage, votre manière de rire, Lalchand prend tout le monde, car Lalchand Bhagwandas aime tout les types de dents, tout les types de mouvements et toutes les types de descendances. Pour chacune de ses interventions, ses fidèles acousmaticiens dispersés aux quatre coins de la planète, signalent le début de l'émission au reste du monde en faisant clignoter les interupteurs de leur appartement, créant ainsi une dizaine de secondes stroboscopiques que l'on peut voir depuis l'ERS-2, un satellite de télédétection mexicain. Comme il le dit lui-même, c'est une émission de tout les cinq continents. C'est ainsi que, derrière un rideau mauve, Lalchand Bhagwandas dispense son Cook Cook Show, un mélange de préceptes politiques, de règles géométriques et de descriptions astronomiques généralement montées en fables musicales. Il vit seul quelque part à la frontière franco-italienne. Il mange peu, il dort peu. Parfois, il laisse une petite coupelle de lait devant la porte pour le chat des jardins alentours. Il a onze ans et demi.
