For his second output on his own label, the Swiss electronic composer Robin Félix, takes this time the listener to West-Africa ; that said, Incantation is light-years away from “world music”, but closer to the first  “Fourth World” LP Jon Hassell recorded with Brian Eno. Moreover, Robin has teamed up with fellow Swiss sculptor, Christian Pauchon, who makes “woodoorina”, inspired by “bolis”, some rather objects used by the Bamanas in Mali and neighbouring countries, that ethnologists view as “fascinating mediators between man and his environment” ; a topic that led the Mauritanian Abderrahmane Sissako and Damon Albarn to compose the opera, The Theft of the Boli. Right from the outset of Goat Skin, one realises that Robin has applied his idiosyncratic way of (mis)treating field-recordings, to dissect and re-model an array of woodoorina calls (sometimes close to drones) entwined to a rhythmic pulse, conjuring up a starry night under which a shaman, adresses his incantations to the spirits of Nature. Robin Félix being who he is, as soon as Corten, his form of quiet electronics show that he is no stranger to Throbbing Gristle or Cosey Fanni Tutti, the self-explanatory Ritual Smoke taking it a little further. The spellbinding organic basses of Rains and Cauris, fused to textures that remind the experiments of David Toop and the electroacoustics of Pierre Henry, lead the listener even deeper into a contemporary avatar of a spiritual journey. In tune with the “call and response” mode, ubiquitous in African music, Pangi brings the EP even closer to the beating heart of the continent, the interactions of the sculptor and the composer blending to such a point that one may wonder if they have exchanged roles. As a meeting point of disciplines and art forms which are not supposed to meet, Incantation is also a convincing demonstration of what the word “inspiration” means, the superb visuals included ; of course, it requires a lot of finesse and respect on all sides.

Serpent is a spell disguised as a song—an incantation coiled in rhythm and shadow. Every note is a ritual act, every lyric a blade carved with hidden intent. This is not performance—it’s summoning. The creation of our being has never been accidental; it is ritual by fire, blood, and memory. Serpent carries meaning beyond this place, echoing from the realm behind the veil. It was written in trance


Serpent

Tongue of silk, teeth of flame
Fuck the light, call my name
Shadow coils, velvet sin
Wrap me tight, pull me in

Serpent hymn, bite my breath
Sing the love that feels like death
Twist the dark around my skin
Kiss me where the end begins

Shed the past, burn the skin
Spill the poison, drink the sin
Eyes like fire, mouth like stone
Fuck the fear, break the bone

Serpent hymn, bite my breath
Sing the love that feels like death
Twist the dark around my skin
Kiss me where the end begins

Whisper low, shiver deep
Wake the beast I swore to keep

The Alice Incantation

GOD IS ANGRY FREESTYLE

MARDUK KURIOS!
Brightest star among the stars,
Mightiest god among the gods,
Son of Magic and of the Sword,
Child of Wisdom and of the Word,
Knower of the Secret Name,
Knower of the Secret Number,
Knower of the Secret Form,
He armed himself with the Disc of Power,
In chariots of Fire he departed,
With a roaring voice he spoke the Spell,
With a blazing Flame he filled his Body.
Dragons, Vipers, all fell,
Lions, Centaur-Men, all were slain.
The mighty creatures of HUBUR were exterminated,
The Spells, the Charms, the Sorcery were broken.
Nothing remained but TIAMAT.
The Great Serpent, the Enormous Worm,
The Serpent with iron teeth,
The Serpent with sharpened claws,
The Serpent with the Eyes of Death,
She hurled herself at MARDUK
With a roar,
With a curse,
She charged.
MARDUK struck with the Disc of Power,
Blinded the Eyes of Death of TIAMAT,
The Monster rose and lifted its back,
Striking in all directions,
Spitting ancient words of Power,
Shouting the old incantations.
MARDUK struck again and blew
An Evil Wind into her body,
Which filled the raging and evil Serpent.
MARDUK shot between her jaws
The enchanted arrow of ENKI’s magic.
MARDUK struck once more and severed
The head of TIAMAT from her body.
And all became silent.
Remember!
