Kilocides

This one is like a mysterious dark woodland to me. I also think of an old clock for some reason. Whatever it is, I get dark oak wood. Shut your eyes and tell me the images you see.

Come Back To The Swine

Francesco de Masi - New York One More Day (The New York Ripper)

“Malimba and song.
Here, the malimba is modified by a metal chain that jingles on all the tongues, generating
additional harmonics. This music accompanies a children’s game; one person hides an
object and the others have to find it: There’s nothing here, my friend / there’s nothing
there / keep looking till you find it / ah, you found it.”

ARTIST: VA
TITLE: Music of Tanzania
LABEL: Sublime Frequencies
FORMAT: 2LP
CAT #: SF 096LP
RELEASE: February 3, 2015

Music of Tanzania is a spectacular collection of field recordings gathered by Laurent Jeanneau between December 1999 and March 2000. This debut volume of Sublime Frequencies' exploration of indigenous Tanzanian music compiles sacred and profane songs and dances of the Hadza, Datoga, and Makonde people. Highlights include stoned ecstatic dancing in a Hadza encampment; a drunken celebration of preteen sexual initiation from a Makonde fishing village; baboon imitations performed on the malimba; electrified Islamic trance percussion; and useful tips for amateur hyrax hunters. Many of these poignant, exhilarating performances come from dwindling minority groups whose way of life stretches back to the Stone Age, and who are capable of creating breathtaking music with anything from agricultural tools to tin cans and plastic tubes. Laurent Jeanneau is absolutely fearless in his pursuit of rare, exceptional and vibrant performances. He views his ongoing documentation of ethnic minority music as an act of resistance to globalization, state-sanctioned "peasant traditions," and cultural homogeneity, and accordingly spends months living under harsh and dangerous conditions in order to capture impromptu performances in their everyday cultural context. Using this method, Jeanneau has self-produced almost 100 albums preserving threatened musical traditions from some of the most remote regions on earth, in addition to compiling multiple volumes for Sublime Frequencies. This limited edition double LP tip-on gatefold package includes striking photographs by James Stephenson and detailed liner notes by Jeanneau.

ARTIST: BABA COMMANDANT AND THE MANDINGO BAND
TITLE: Juguya
LABEL: SUBLIME FREQUENCIES
FORMAT: LP
CAT#: SF 097LP
RELEASE: February 17, 2015

Baba Commandant and the Mandingo Band are a contemporary group from Burkina Faso. Coming from Bobo-Dioulasso, the group is steeped in the Mandingue musical traditions of their ancestral legacy. The enigmatic lead singer Baba Commandant (Mamadou Sanou) is an original and eccentric character who is well respected in the Burkinabé musical community. A sort of punk Faso Dan Fani activist for traditional Mandingo music, Baba continues to redefine the boundaries between traditional and modern. In 1981, he joined the Koule Dafourou troupe as a dancer. Later, he embarked on his current musical direction as a singer, first in Dounia and then in the Afromandingo Band. His current band -- when he's not playing with the now-famous Burkinabé musician Victor Démé -- is the Mandingo Band. At present, he is a practitioner of the Afrobeat style, drawing inspiration from the golden era of Nigerian music. Fela Kuti/Africa 70 and King Sunny Adé are big influences, as is the legendary Malian growler Moussa Doumbia. Baba Commandant plays the ngoni, the instrument of the Donso (the traditional hunters in this region of Burkina Faso and Mali). His audience comprises multiple generations and strata of Burkinabé society; he accordingly adapts his repertoire to his surroundings, which range from cabaret Sundays in Bobo-Dioulasso to the sound systems of Ouagadougou. Baba Commandant and the Mandingo Band are a formidable force steeped in Ouagadougou's DIY underground musical culture. Juguya is their sound. Limited edition LP housed in a Stoughton tip-on sleeve.

"Origin" By: Dystopia Park & Hiraeth

Lyrics:
Trace the lines of the veins
All the way back to the start
Bloodlines through worlds apart
Take me back to the start

Sweep me back in time
To the origin unknown
So far yet incredibly close
Count it down to one

“And as all things have been and arose
From one by the mediation of one:
So all things have their birth 
From this one thing by adaptation.”

I am the one and the All
Unseen to the eye
Reaching further beyond

Born out of the twilight, 
Undone, giving birth to the sun 
And all things to come
