Six years after ‘Laika’s Take Off’ (2016) went into orbit, Minimal Orchestra explores a new sense of weightlessness with ‘Lift Off’. Earthy resonance to the first project.
 
After having ventured between space and cosmos, the duo celebrates its fifteen years of existence and friendship by offering, this time, a more grounded album. Reaction to an initial vibration, a kind of sound disturbance that spreads on the water surface, this new album undulates on future jazz accents. 
 
From floating to deep diving, these tracks shimmer warmly and reflect as many musical influences as soloist friends invited on this project. A dozen tracks at the crossroads of jazz, electronica and jungle, for a journey with sophisticated electronic and organic textures, in a resolutely luminous writing. 
 
Like ‘Piccolo and Bells’, which honors the organ, a new instrument for the group, sort of reference to Mount Kimbie. Emblematic references for ‘Flued’ too, a more progressive pop track, where we find Radiohead or Boards of Canada influences. 

This album is a moment preserved from the heavy ambient gravity, to go to the source of creativity, of the instrument. A sense of groove and a particular, delicate attention given to the melody, for an even more vibrant experience, and a freed nu-jazz.

Expedisound, folklore from the global zone in three albums

With the Expedisound series, launched in 2004, Marseille-based label I.O.T Records built surprising bridges between cultures. Just imagine: the label's members - and their many supporters - loaded up trucks with machines, samplers, recorders and microphones, and set off to discover traditional or trance music in West Africa, Indonesia, Ulan Bator or deep in China's Yunnan.

At the crossroads of the Sound Conspiracy adventure, Real World, and field recording's quasi-ethnographic but still punk attempts, Expedisound telescoped popular or folk music from the four corners of the planet with the libertarian ideals of freewheeling electronic travellers.

I.O.T. Records now offers a new version of the soundbanks: reworked, processed and of better quality... This new ready-to-be-composed sound database features, initially, the sound material gleaned from the Expedisound dedicated to Africa.
