Kicking off my week with one thing from my psychedelic assortment – music I hardly ever share on Stereofox, however the form of sound that reaches for the interior corners of your soul to create unmatched mind-altering experiences.
At present we discover the artwork of Bijan Cheminari (percussion), Redi Hasa (cello, labored with Ludovico Einaudi and Robert Plant), and Rami Khalife (piano) – artists who’ve confirmed their genius earlier than coming collectively to kind L’Antidote. With roots in Albania, Lebanon, and Iran, the trio is creating a novel and deeply evocative sound that may heal any distressed soul on the market.
The sound of L’Antidote additionally attracts inspiration from Center Japanese, Balkan, and Mediterranean folklore, one thing you will shortly decide up whereas spacing out to “Pomegranate” – the primary single of their extremely anticipated upcoming debut album scheduled for launch later this yr. This tune defies the same old psychedelic method of sprawling 8-10+ minute journeys, as a substitute delivering a masterfully crafted expertise in beneath 5 minutes. It seamlessly unfolds with an intricate tapestry of mesmerizing melodies and hypnotic rhythms, proving that brevity could be simply as immersive.
Rami shares, “It’s all the time very pleasurable and thrilling to fulfill individuals who, ultimately, resemble you – who share the identical imaginative and prescient, the identical freedom of their expression, boundless limits to our creativity.
That is what it’s all about: it’s about power, it’s concerning the second, and, if I’ll say, it’s about breaking the boundaries. This method permits us to essentially begin from improvisation, then it turns into a form of a standard language, even if we come from totally different backgrounds and we communicate totally different languages.
Having the ability to journey via such a wide range of feelings and musical adventures, is admittedly what I search for. Enjoying on this trio can be a nice supply of inspiration, and I hope we will carry this dream to the viewers within the close to future.”
