Why am I recording ethnic minorities music ?
Since 1995 I have been involved in 2 complementary activities, first recording ethnic minority music mostly in south east asia, and second composing electronic music that includes or transform those recordings. First going to places, often remote, in India, in Tanzania, in Cambodia, in Laos, in Vietnam and China, aiming to record traditional music : Every country has a different context and also my approach is different, depending on how much time I spend, on how close I am with the people, on the degree of acculturation, on how easy it is to find musicians, on political situation, on who I am working with and a lot of subjective reasons like which music really interest me. I invest my time, money and energy on music that move me, in most cases I seem to be the first one to record those musicians, I am aware of this exclusive dimension, but this is not essential. I won t pretend that I m doing it for saving endangered cultures, nowadays everyone is using those words...
DO IT YOURSELF !
I release things by myself, doing CDs with the american label Sublime Frequencies is a window for me in the western world, they understand the beauty of my rare recordings but it is not being financially rewarding. Therefore I have set up my own label, check the following list of cds.I have no academic background, never studied anthropology or ethnomusicology, the essential is to find cultures which are being ignored by the record industry, which has no interest in totally uncommercial music, but pretend they do. My goal is to find original music I love, i don t waste time on music I don t like .
I am selling the cds below to record stores, private collectioners, mediatheques of museums in different places in the world, and I d like to add you among customers who support my activity, each cd costs 6 euros + postage fees
