Kicking off my week with one thing from my psychedelic assortment – music I not often share on Stereofox, however the type of sound that reaches for the inside corners of your soul to create unmatched mind-altering experiences.
At present we discover the artwork of Bijan Cheminari (percussion), Redi Hasa (cello, labored with Ludovico Einaudi and Robert Plant), and Rami Khalife (piano) – artists who’ve confirmed their genius earlier than coming collectively to kind L’Antidote. With roots in Albania, Lebanon, and Iran, the trio is creating a novel and deeply evocative sound that may heal any distressed soul on the market.
The sound of L’Antidote additionally attracts inspiration from Center Japanese, Balkan, and Mediterranean folklore, one thing you may rapidly decide up whereas spacing out to “Pomegranate” – the primary single of their extremely anticipated upcoming debut album scheduled for launch later this yr. This music defies the same old psychedelic method of sprawling 8-10+ minute journeys, as an alternative delivering a masterfully crafted expertise in beneath 5 minutes. It seamlessly unfolds with an intricate tapestry of mesmerizing melodies and hypnotic rhythms, proving that brevity could be simply as immersive.
Rami shares, “It’s all the time very pleasurable and thrilling to satisfy individuals who, in a roundabout way, resemble you – who share the identical imaginative and prescient, the identical freedom of their expression, boundless limits to our creativity.
That is what it’s all about: it’s about power, it’s concerning the second, and, if I’ll say, it’s about breaking the bounds. This strategy permits us to essentially begin from improvisation, then it turns into a type of a typical language, even if we come from totally different backgrounds and we communicate totally different languages.
With the ability to journey via such quite a lot of feelings and musical adventures, is absolutely what I search for. Enjoying on this trio is mostly a nice supply of inspiration, and I hope we will carry this dream to the viewers within the close to future.”
