After recording this&nbsp;album alone, I will have it pressed and distributed by myself, bypassing the traditional intermediaries (label / publisher / distributor ...) and thus promote a new &quot;short circuit&quot; : a direct&nbsp;channel from producer to consumer! &nbsp;Buy &quot;Kobugi&quot; directly from the source !<br /> <br /> On this occasion I am also launching <a href="https://mujurecords.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">MUJU RECORDS</a>, my microlabel.<br /> <br /> Crowdfunding tools like Kiss Kiss Bank Bank today allow this kind of approach and are a fun and rewarding alternative to the purchase of dematerialized discs and online streaming,&nbsp;So today my appeal is to contributors to finance the pressing of CDs and Vinyls of this album, which is already recorded. <strong>I propose to listen, here exclusively on </strong></em><strong>Kiss Kiss Bank Bank</strong><em><strong>, the first three songs of the album: </strong></em></p> <p>&quot;거북이&quot; 앨범은 제가 지난 2년 동안, 라이브 무대와 녹음제작 등... 여러프로젝트를<br /> 진행하던 시기에 자유시간을 활용하여 제작된 곡들 입니다.</p> <div class="k-ResponsiveIframeContainer"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="500" scrolling="no" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fw.soundcloud.com%2Fplayer%2F%3Fvisual%3Dtrue%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fapi.soundcloud.com%252Fplaylists%252F976636339%26show_artwork%3Dtrue%26secret_token%3Ds-LS1TP&amp;display_name=SoundCloud&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fedls-3%2Fsets%2Fkobugi-ecoute-kkbb%2Fs-LS1TP&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fimages%2Ffb_placeholder.png&amp;key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=soundcloud" title="SoundCloud embed" width="500"></iframe></div> <p><strong>PRESENTATION OF THE ALBUM 앨범소개</strong><br /> <br /> <em>&quot;Kobugi&quot; brings together pieces created over the past two years in moments of calm between concerts and recordings that I have with other projects (Film scores, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/akalewube/" target="_blank">Akal&eacute; Wub&eacute;</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://baeshibang.com/" target="_blank">Baeshi Bang</a> etc.)<br /> <br /> I have played all of the instruments without ever using virtual instruments or MIDI. Everything is played by hand, OGM free&nbsp;! &quot;Kobugi&quot; follows on from the album&nbsp;&quot;<a href="https://www.franceculture.fr/emissions/la-revue-musicale/la-revue-musicale-mercredi-18-mai-2016" target="_blank">Maputo Queens</a>&quot; that I produced in 2016. There you can find some of my obsessions such as the timeless vibe of African kalimbas, as well as organs from the 60ies.<br /> <br /> The four guests on this album are all long-time accomplices : Sam Nash AKA Racecar, authentic Chicago MC from Belleville, Erik Aliana Cameroonian bard, whose song always&nbsp;releases palpable emotions, Lansin&eacute; Diabat&eacute;, master of the Guinean balafon and Stefano Lucchini who is the skillful drummer in my Korean project <a href="http://www.baeshibang.com/fr/news/superbe-chronique-dans-songlines-magazine-uk" target="_blank">Baeshi Bang</a>.</em></p> <p><em>To finalize &quot;Kobugi&quot; I did not leave the &quot;family&quot; framework since Fabien Girard who mixed the music is a friend with whom I have been working since the first <a href="https://next.liberation.fr/culture/2010/06/15/frix-a-tout-prix_659037" target="_blank">FRIX</a> albums fifteen years ago, and Rapha&euml;l Jonin who did the mastering is someone with whom I also enjoy working for many projects.</em></p> <p><em>Concerning the Artwork, it was a huge pleasure to collaborate once again with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/benhito" target="_blank">Ben Hito</a>, and, thanks to his talent, his generosity and his enthusiasm, to make Kobugi an object both sound and visual. I hope you will enjoy listening to it as much as watching it!</em></p> <p>저는 대부분 곡들을, 가상, 미디어악기를 제외한, 다른 여러악기들을 직접 연주하는 데 심혈을 기울였습니다.&nbsp; &quot;거북이&quot; 는 2016년 제작된 &quot;Maputo Queens&quot; 앨범의 차기작 입니다. 앨범 커버와 포스터는 에티앤과 오랫동안 협업을 하고있는 유명한 Ben Hito 그래픽 디자이너의 작업입니다.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/644589/cartes_postales_bandeau-1580309419.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p><strong>Some info on the nine tracks on the disc :</strong><br /> <br /> 1 - JAJINMORI feat. Racecar<br /> I came up with this piece through a rhythm called &quot;Jajinmori&quot;, used in Korean traditional music. I discovered this rhythm during a collaboration with Korean percussionists in Busan in&nbsp;2016. Racecar&#39;s flow leads us to somewhat labyrinthine mood successions.<br /> <br /> 2 - LOULOU<br /> Loulou is a &laquo;&nbsp;chamber music afrobeat&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;experiment with bits of Steve Reich inside - it also echoes the song entitled &quot;Lord Bougainvillard&quot; which is on my previous solo album &quot;<a href="https://fleamarketfunk.com/2016/06/08/etienne-de-la-sayette-maputo-queens/" target="_blank">Maputo Queens</a>&quot;</p> <div class="k-ResponsiveIframeContainer">3 - KOBUGI KING<br /> &quot;Kobugi King&quot; is a soaring groove filled with shamanic invocations.<br /> <br /> 4 - SAFARI KAMER feat. Erik Aliana<br /> Same rhythmic principle as &quot;Jajinmori&quot; with a much more Cameroonian mood this time, thank you Erik !<br /> <br /> 5 - ANANSI<br /> Anar manifesto with dirty accents, evoking the ultra-saturated kalimbas of &quot;Konono #1&quot; - While writing this piece, I also thought of certain sounds from Marc Ribot&#39;s Ceramic Dog.<br /> <br /> 6 - ANCHI BALE GAME<br /> The only cover on the album, here we have a version 2.0 of an Ethiopian classic found on an old cassette in the depths of Addis Abeba.<br /> <br /> 7 - BAD BAD BAD<br /> Pale early morning groove with a wahwah organ as an alcoholic crooner.<br /> <br /> 8 - TORTOISES<br /> Reggae breathing - inhale, breathe ... it breathes: transverse flute and sea shell choirs<br /> <br /> 9 - WAR BUSINESS feat. Racecar<br /> This closing track worships its title written in a moment of dull anger - with Racecar to close the loop.</div> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/644599/visuel_KKBB_2-1580310598.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>TRACKLIST</p> <p>1 - JAJINMORI feat.
