KEEP THE BASTARDS HONEST
Inspired by noise and acoustic and electronic rhythms, Yann Joussein's solo is an invitation to trance and a singular dance, a tunnel of sound that takes us on a journey from the world of Keiji Haino to the dreamlike world of Ken Ikeda, from kraut rock influences to the the rebellious energy of 60s free jazz. On this album, drums, an analog synthesizer and a sampler.
In the continuity of Tribalism3 and Håla Duett, inspired by rhythms from the world, "ktbh" the slogan of the Australian democrats in the 80s is a way of saying that all politicians are corrupt, and that we are going to take care of that.
We are already in the 21st century and everything is still to be done. As the main song of the upcoming album says, based on an ostinato of repetitive analog synthesizesr and an endless loop of drums, “You can do it”.
“Free the music” composed using a synthetic Indian tampoura and a rhythmless drum pattern is a perfect slogan to say that if I can do it, so can you. An ironic way of drawing a parallel with the methods we use today to produce sound.
