ARTIST: Filastine
TITLE: Figuig
LENGTH: 3:07
DESCRIPTION
Ghostly cutups of some railway station ambiences layered
over programmed beats in 7/8 time, enhanced by synthesized bass
in the lower realms of hertz. Composed chiefly in the dusty
Saharan frontier town of Figuig on a thin silver laptop. Natural
instruments erhu and cello added in a recording session back
in the Northwest.
STATEMENT
Filastine works to disrupt the parameters of popular music and
to explore the chaos and vitality found in the margins. He is
studied in rhythms from Calcutta to Marrakech. He is currently
applying this knowledge to the creation of electronic-based
material, traveling frequently with a mobile system to collaborate
and produce music anywhere. Previous work includes the street
bateria Infernal Noise Brigade and the music/performance band
!tchkung!.
