“Imer Zeillos : Asian Variations for Saz, Cura and Tanbur”
Discrepant presents another unique document of Kink Gong’s aka Laurent Jeanneau’s collection of surreal soundscapes of augmented field recordings, this time using two very different source recordings to create his own unique brand of alien music.
Using contact mic recordings of various turkish instruments, Saz, Cura and Tanbur (played by Remi Solliez), Laurent Jeanneau alchemically collages them with his archival recordings of South East Asia to create a surreal space between the instrument’s tones and resonances with the other-worldly beauty of the field recordings .
Another outernational collection of this unique and uncompromising artist.
