about

4 track digital EP composed between april and may 2019 starting with the tune "green source"and then evolving towards "electro future funk" songs with other rap acapellas. Lofi sound by (ab)using EQ, creamy filters and old stompbox delays !

Cover art is a digital collage using a picture of the pyramids of giza from google map. It was also following the reading of "la pyramide" from the albanian novelist Ismael Kadare. A captivating book focused on the building of the pyramid of cheops as an allegory of absolute political power. Where an overweening construction plan can be used to tame people aspirations for freedom and can have effects through the ages and locations... The juxtaposition with the crane pyramids erected in isfahan by timur le boiteux at the end of the novel sends shivers down the spine. Hopefully, when the building of the pyramid is finished, then it is waiting for its sarcophagus!

gear used : TR606, Boss DR220, MBase11, DR110, VSL VCF74, Eowave Fluctuations Magnetiques, Waldorf miniworks 4pole, my trusty boss rsd10, vesta fire MDX and various synths (probably : moog voyager, korg DW8000, roland spv355, birdkids bateleur, korg volca sampler)
