D16. SILENCE, ÇA FUME (PART1)After ten
years of madness with Alliance Ethnik, and ten more of various and eclectic
collaborations, plus a solo album with Wax On, let me introduce you, in
collaboration with Mambo, the painter, to our Art&Music project called “ Freedom”,
on our own label Pura Vida.....
“Freedom”
is an album of bipolar music, dark, yet coloured, oscillating between joy of
living and melancholy. The result, as in my life, is a musical and emotional
voyage. Just like DJ Shadow, my albums are entirely composed with samples. In “
Freedom”, for the first time, I let the samples talk, in order to have them
express my thought. This brought me to a more conscious and committed conception
of beatmaking. I affirm my difference, trying to personalize my music with new
messages and sounds.....
This way, I try to enrich this HipHop getting
poorer. As Keith Haring used to say, I see in my music “something that will
last and give joy of living”.....
Mambo, on his side, is indefinable: Graffiti
artist in the beginning, street artist at the Centre Pompidou, painter at the
Galerie Agnès B, designer for different brands, illustrator for Canal+
Grosland, graphic designer, he travelled the world with his talent under his
arm/in a backpack. Right before leaving for an exhibition in ..Rio..,
he has created for “ Freedom” a whole graphic universe overflowing with
imagination, you will discover in the interior sleeves of the album.
We love what we do way too much to treat our followers as mere
consumers, or to abuse/mistreat their ears. From the beginning, our mission has
been to offer the best quality in every step of the creative process. In order to fight against the impoverished
sound of dematerialized music, I chose to provide the 2 best support available
nowadays, which are vinyl and cd,
together in one packaging. ....
