│release notes.
Freerange Records forge ahead, creating an international
undercurrent with their 6th release by Paris based artists Jean
Pierre Smadja and partner Sofi Hellborg.
This three track E.P. gives a beautiful insight into the cultural
diversity which these artists have experienced and shared
throughout their lives. They have been able to capture and craft
these influences into a unique and experimental sound, which as the
title of the E.P. suggests, evolves around their travels.
The opening track entitled 'Ma Premiere Foret' sets the scene with
heavy Jazz licks, unconventional instrumentation, a forceful
uptempo groove and above all, an overall sense of quality. Textures
collide and styles fuse to create an original and atmospheric piece
of music.
'Le Voyage d'un Cure de Compagne', portrays a futuristic vision of
a continental culture clash, tripping through the Tunisian
underworld where the mood is strictly abstract as the track
unravels itself. Saxophone, Voice and Guitar intertwine with the
percussive rhythms to form a collage of strangeness whilst
retaining a fluid sound through excellent arranging.
Horizon has a sense of optimism with it's vocals, saxophone
melodies and strings. Sofi's serious soprano improvisation adds
movement, energy and a lightness to the overall sound of the track

African and Oriental instruments collide with a vaguely junglist
drum loop and multi-ethnic atmospherics for something a bit
special. Imagine the sound of Peter Gabriel's Real World label
mashed up by the Black Dog - that strange, that different.
