An electrifying mixtape celebrating the explosive new Sublime Frequencies LP “TSAPIKY!” Brace yourself for a mind-blowing hour of Malagasy guitar music that includes a cut from the new record, rare gems from French ethnomusicologist Julien Mallet’s early 2000s recordings, and fresh cuts from Fifangaroa & MaAuLa Records. Huge gratitude to Maxime Bobo, Boris Paillard, and the phenomenal tsapiky masters of Tulear, Madagascar.

Elephant9 with Reine Fiske - Occidentali

a demonstration of the wonderful twin peak filter from klangbau köln based on the filter by rob hordijk. i think it shines when used as oscillator, you can ping it with a trigger and sequence the cv inputs independently. the tracking gives them bite and a nice attack. sequenced from the er-101/102 with clouds for pitched delay and d0 for main delay (too much i know). a rather stupid shaker added in logic, sorry for that...

Make Noise Telharmonic, RxMx, Maths, FxdF, Toppobrillo Sport Modulator, a whole lot of Serge Resonant EQ, and a SynthTech e580 MiniDelay for spatialization.

received a second twin peak filter from klangbau köln. such an awesome instrument! sequence and modulation from an octocontroller to both twin peak's. some tube distortion from the m277 and a looped bit from clouds for the shaker-ish thing. compressed through an rnla and some reverb and eq itb.

Auto-Tune has bad press among the so-called "organic music" lovers, as proven by the amount of friends who cringed when I mentioned I was working on this compilation! Cher’s metallic shrieks on 1998’s "Believe" seem to have left some scars.

From the T-Pain swagger era to Lady Gaga’s stadium-sized antics, up to today’s robotic-sounding trappers, the overuse of this audio processor has become one of the standards of mainstream pop music. Long used behind the scenes as a barely noticeable and almost shameful pitch/time corrector, it is now played for effect, loudly and proudly distorting many voices on FM radio. As a result, it has become synonymous with "bad taste" and "fake," many listeners believing that it is employed as an easy trick to cover a lack of musical talent.

This first mixtape is an attempt at showing the incredible beauty and variety of music featuring Auto-Tune manipulations. Let’s turn our ears away for a moment from the dominant musical output from the Western world, and focus on the plethora of unfairly overlooked African songs. Auto-Tune has indeed democratized access to music making and quickly become hybridized and assimilated into the popular African music tradition, particularly in North Africa.

After digging for sonic gold for days and nights, lending a curious and attentive ear to these songs, I remain convinced that all the singers featured here can actually sing. The ill-reputed software is actually often employed not as a quick fix to patch up mistakes made by self-conscious amateurs, but as a purposeful aesthetic flourish, a bold artistic choice even. I definitely don’t hear the homogenized, emotionless music made by tone-deaf "gerbils" that high-brow critics like to chastise, but hey, maybe that’s just me. I hope that some of these amazing tracks and genuine performances change your mind about that "dreadful Auto-Tune warble." If anyone should take the blame for a generic and uninspired song resulting from the homogenization of music, I tend to think it is the songwriter (and the performer, though less), and not any recording or producing technology…

So, purists: beware! We’re now venturing off the beaten track where off-key is not an option. This audio journey will take the fearless listener from the Sahel sands to Somali suburbs, from Chad to Mozambique, from balani to shangaan! The second volume of the series will focus on more mainstream sounds, exploring Afrobeats pop gems from Nigeria, Ghana and beyond.
