This mix/performance was part of the MEG-AIMP / Réveil des Archives Sonores series: 
N.18 w/ @Cobeia (music curator of @ecoutesauvert) 11-05-23 / 18:30 - 20 in the Museum foyer

I was invited to do a vinyl DJ set at the Museum of Ethnology of Geneva (MEG) directly from their extensive archive material. 💫  

On that day, I was given access to dig in a Collection that belonged to Marco Botta, a foreign affairs Swiss diplomat who accumulated records (and newspapers) from all his trips around the World. 🌎 After his death, his family donated the vast Collection to the MEG. It contains folklore & modern music from all over the world up to the 80s. Several big shelves of vinyl from South America, Europe, Oceania, Africa... subdivided by countries. Around 5000 records, most in pristine condition! 

With the little time at my disposal, I decided to focus on Africa, because of my link to it, extensive travels around North and East Africa, my readings about the forging of the Portuguese 1st Global Empire circumventing Africa on their way to India, the many documentaries about the continent I saw, and my interest for its many cultures & music. 

For 4 hours, I searched through the collection, could hear the music, and made a selection. Right after, I played a 1 hour and a half set with the records in public. The set was recorded, filmed & broadcast on WAV33.

I had 2 turntables and a Pioneer mixer at my disposal. I created spontaneously a mixed set, at times overlapping tunes and using effects, especially in the first half hour which features more tribalistic music and sounds sometimes otherworldly.   

I started with an imaginary Ancient Egypt track from a record of a Tutankhamun exhibition in Seattle from 1976, followed by an oud song from the Ottoman Period era by a well-known Egyptian Musician. Then went into Tuareg incursions, tribalistic music, Portuguese colonies (Cabo Verde, Angola...), circumvolution of Africa passing the Cape of Good Hope, all the way to the other side through the various lands (South Africa, Mozambique, Kenya, Ethiopia...) and Islands off the coast of Africa (Maurice, Comoros, Seychelles...) in the Indian Ocean as far as La Reunion and Zanzibar.

Thanks to all at MEG and everyone who was there to listen. 💙

This is the result of which I am pretty proud of. Hope you'll enjoy it!!! 😘

Réveil Archives Sonores #18: @Cobeia

For a 1h30 set, the guest artists take us on a musical journey through their personal selection of sound archives.

Cobeia is a DJ and record collector from Geneva. He is also the curator/organizer of Ecoutes au vert (EAV), a series of musical events that has been running since 2006. Over the years, he has organised many concerts and evenings of electro-acoustic, African, No Wave, Electronic, Disco and Experimental music, with talented local and international artists.

Curious to explore a wide range of styles, he unearths gems through long digging sessions. Traditional and modern African music, Outernational, Jazz, Afro-Funk, Post Punk, Disco, Cosmic, Italo, Wave, Electronic, Ambient, Experimental... are just some of the genres he loves. Music that often features a mix of instruments, synths and drum machines, with an analog sound in a computerized world. ;)

Cobeia has mixed at venues & festivals in Geneva, Switzerland, Berlin, Thailand and Vietnam.

A few years ago with Ecoutes au vert, he organized a concert by the traditional Kenyan group Ogoya Nengo & the Dodo Women's Choir Group in collaboration with the MEG.

The records played during this DJ set come from the Marco Botta collection, acquired by MEG in 2011. The collection comprises almost 5,000 LPs (33rpm), released on a multitude of labels from around the world.

作曲されたTsuguMIさんの紹介文引用
私にとっての蝶とは、美しい/可愛いは勿論なのですが、儚く小さいのにとてもたくましいイメージがありこういう曲に仕上げました。１頭の蝶が数匹の群れの中に加わりクルクルと舞い始める。皆さんはこの曲を聴いた時どんな映像を思い浮かべるでしょうか？それぞれの映像でお楽しみください。
※Butterflys' Rondoのロンドは形式を表しているのではなく蝶たちの踊り、舞に当てはめたものです。

Quote from TuguMI's introduction
Butterflies to me, of course beautiful/cute but, not only that. Fragile but strong image and I composed it like this. One butterfly joins a group and the dance begins. What kind of image do you think when you listen to this work? Please enjoy it!!
※The Butterfly Rondo's "Rondo" is not a form. This is applied to the dance of butterflies.
※It was composed for collaboration. Saturn3613 – Butterfly-rondo
