PINE

[trigger warning - accident/police/death]

v - lyrics - v

right before we crashed out

I learned the truth

and ever since then

stuck on a loop 

never-ending crash out

you knocked it loose

I can't remember how 

stuck on a loop

I can't remember how

I can't remember how

I can't remember how

I can't remember how

remember now


I can't remember now

how the story began

I just know its cold now

and all the warmth in all the land

still wouldn't be enough to

resurrect what we had

and though we're dead now

I can still feel your hand

I can still feel your hand

I can still feel your hand


and though we're dead n-n-n-

and though we're dead now

and though we're dead n-n-n-n-n-n-n-now

and though we're dead now

I can still feel your hand


right before we crashed o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

I learned the truth

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-owe

and ever since then

never-ending crash out

you knocked it loose

I can't remember how

I can't remember how

I can't remember how

and though we're dead now

I can still feel your hand

I just know its cold now

stuck on a loop

stuck on a loop

and all the warmth in all the land

still wouldn't be enough to

resurrect what we had

and though

I can still feel your hand

feel your hand

feel your hand

your hand

and though we're dead now

I can still feel your hand

I can still feel your hand

Underwater Nocturne

PREMIERE > inverted-audio.com/premiere-raymonde-la-forte-cinq

We're glad to share with you the first extract off Zèbres Records' debut EP 'J'aime Bien Le Tonnerre', courtesy of unheard French talent Raymonde. From these four cuts of tribal, leftfield-leaning oddities tinged with musique concrète and industrial complexions, 'La Forte Cinq' projects hallucinated visions of a safari-like ride across shape-shifting bushes and delirious rituals. An outstanding debut delivery.

At the end of 2018, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Gallica (the digital archive of the Bibliothèque nationale de France), Akuphone and Ko Shin Moon were invited to create a piece from the library’s audio archives. After working on it for several weeks, a first version was presented during the anniversary ceremony. The project continued to develop over four months before arriving at a definitive version. 

The scope of the project was limited to audio recordings from the library’s collection that were free of legal restrictions, which meant: only 78 rpm records from the first half of the 20th century. The format is unique, left to specialists and forgotten by listeners and producers. 78 records are almost never used for sampling and it’s this application that makes Ko Shin Moon’s album stand out. Many factors needed to be considered, including white noise, breaths, the harshness of certain frequencies, and the production style from the era of the recordings. 

 Using these precious resources as a creative tool, Ko Shin Moon made substantial rearrangements, but he forced himself to respect the original tuning of the recordings by setting his analog synthesizers and instruments to the same microtonality as the records. 

 Most of the chosen samples were recorded between 1910 and 1940 and came from different parts of the world. These include: North Africa for “Gasba” and “The River,” The Middle East and Central Asia for “Segah,” “Bayati Chiraz,” and “Nava,” India for “Devi Sthothra” and “Narayan,” Mozambique for “I-XIII,” South Asia for “The Offering” and “Sabat Sabing,” Japan for “The Consonants,” and France for “The Offering.” 

 “We’re very thankful to have been able to have our work infused with such cultural heritage,” says Ko Shin Moon. “We thank the Bibliothèque nationale de France for their trust and above all, we want to show our respect to the musicians and singers present on these recordings. We hope to bring their voices to life with our music.”
