| Summary: | This paper looks at two works by Quebec artist Geneviève Castrée, each of which combines a comics album with a record of songs: Pamplemoussi (2004) and Tout seul dans la forêt en plein jour, avez-vous peur ? (2007). He begins by defining the genre of these works, between artist’s “recordworks” and “musicomic” albums, recalling previous examples combining records and comics. He then analyses Castrée’s two book-and-record sets, comparing the soundtrack to the drawn narrative: their respective autonomy as artistic works, their temporality in terms of reception, and the diegetic status of music in each of the graphic narratives. |
