“The Xvoto Reels provides additional proof (if necessary) that Razen is an audacious group. If the Belgian band led by the duo Brecht Ameel and Kim Delcour has explored different musical worlds with changing formations, the involuntary irruption of a sixth “member” has upset the content of this new album. Through these brutal and unpredictable interventions, it made an ambitious album – recording live improvisations in a church with an organ and a tabla – unique.”
The Xvoto Reels – a prayer in the halflight, a comforting sermon out of St Martin’s Church – is a version of Razen where the music played itself, and chance dictated what essence of this was allowed to be captured.
Brecht Ameel, orgue. Kim Delcour, chalemie & flûte à bec. Paul Garriau, vielle à roue. Pieter Lenaerts, contrebasse & sarangi. Suchet Malhotra, tabla. Une session enregistrée dans une église où le magnétophone à bandes devient le sixième musicien du groupe par ses accidents de lecture et ses variations de dynamique, ajoutant une touche de mystère insaississable à cette expérience musicale aux accents d’Inde du Nord, de secte esotérico-cosmique ou de fin de soirée psychoactive !
