Nicolas Jaar • Folie À Deux (Akam Sector Edit) - FREE DL-

Last year I met Sissi Rada. She was singing in Greek and playing the harp when I first listened to her. 
I asked her to record something with me as I wanted to use her voice for my music. We sat down, I played the harmonies on my Prophet 5 and she would jam over it. Her first take is the take you're listening to. Back then I was in my bedroom studio. We had noises from the street, roommates the next door, but the take captured the magic and the spontaneous moment of just doing music. I didn't want to record it again. 

Her lyrics are about the devastating political and financial situation in Greece and I tried - as much as I could do - to reflect that with my music.

The lyrics

Η πατρίδα μου 
μαραμένη
χώματα και θάλασσα και φρούτα 
Στοιβαγμένη
σ' αεροπορικά εισιτήρια 
Μαζικά συλλαλητήρια 
Αέρα σου στρωσα και λούσα

Η πατρίδα μου 
αμβλώνεται και κουράζει
με αλλονών τύπους 
χώματα και θάλασσα και φρούτα 
συμφέρει.

Ricardo Villalobos - Baby

This recording was captured right in front of my tent at a little after 5am on the side of the Chattooga River. The section I was camping near was very calm and saw many people fishing and tubing on the river each day. Luckily traffic was minimal this morning and I was able to record some pristine nature sounds!

Recorded with a Sony D100 on a tripod, sensitivity 10.

Thank you for reading and listening ☺
