Artist: Neo Geodesia
Album: 2562 Neon Flames
Format: Digital / Tape
Cat.No: CHI030
Master: John Hannon
Artwork: Saphy Vong
Release Date: 11th April 2020

The razor-sharp edge of life, death and rebirth is explored with an almost hallucinatory intensity in Saphy Vong’s new album 2562 Neon Flames, his first under the name Neo Geodesia. The album, which is dedicated to his mother Chun Leng and released two years after her death, revisits her sudden, tragic, shocking loss during the celebration of Khmer New Year 2562. It was made during a particularly trauma and cathartic time.

The compositions are sonic tales synchronously decoding and regenerating customary patterns of thought in nature; aural designs of crisis and harmony where contemporary meets folklore, orchestrating an artificial saga with a variety of illuminations and analysis. A matrix of dazzling sequencers, warped vocal samples, synthetic instruments, Khmer Melismatic Smot, Kantoam Ming (Funeral Orchestra), Beksloy, Karaoke DVDs, Abstract electronic and personal archives are arranged into holograms of dreams. Through digital superimposition processes, instruments mutate and take on new forms of articulation. Crystalline organs, mourning voices and insistent Bamboo flutes dance with metal drums and traditional Angkorian percussion as compositional schizophrenia or absurd fusion.

Saphy was due to return to Cambodia in April 2020, a trip which was cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak in another cycle of bad luck, displacement, missed connection and sickness. This album is for all diaspora who struggle to return to a country, and for all parents like Chun Leng, who balance life between returning and helping relatives and making a new life for herself and her family. It is for everyone who has searched for a country, lost a parent, or found joy and new life in the bitter ashes of grief. Most of all, it is for Chun Leng.

Fanta Rouge addresses Cambodia’s frank, open attitude towards death in accordance with Buddhist values of understanding suffer- ing and impermanence. Its title nods to the Khmer Rouge, the violent regime that executed Chun Lengs father when it seized power in April 1975, then caused their family to flee to Thailand then France when the regime collapsed into chaos four years later. It’s also a reference to red Fanta, the popular blood-red, sickly-sweet soda given as a spirit shrine offering to appease ancestral ghosts as part of Cambodian animist tradition. Cambodian Therevada Buddhism is known to have strong elements from Hindu and animistic traditions.

Lastrack for a one-hour musical narration of survival in a world plagued by a mysterious disease turning humans into flesh bag, stripped of any conscience, walking aimlessly to spread the infection, coughing and spitting. The ground is slowly turning into living bio-tissues, carrying more of the deadly micro-organisms. It feels like this new virus is sentient, having something in mind, a grievance against humanity and more importantly, a goal …
