Kicking off my week with one thing from my psychedelic assortment – music I not often share on Stereofox, however the type of sound that reaches for the internal corners of your soul to create unmatched mind-altering experiences.
Immediately we discover the artwork of Bijan Cheminari (percussion), Redi Hasa (cello, labored with Ludovico Einaudi and Robert Plant), and Rami Khalife (piano) – artists who’ve confirmed their genius earlier than coming collectively to kind L’Antidote. With roots in Albania, Lebanon, and Iran, the trio is creating a novel and deeply evocative sound that may heal any distressed soul on the market.
The sound of L’Antidote additionally attracts inspiration from Center Japanese, Balkan, and Mediterranean folklore, one thing you may shortly decide up whereas spacing out to “Pomegranate” – the primary single of their extremely anticipated upcoming debut album scheduled for launch later this 12 months. This music defies the standard psychedelic system of sprawling 8-10+ minute journeys, as an alternative delivering a masterfully crafted expertise in beneath 5 minutes. It seamlessly unfolds with an intricate tapestry of mesmerizing melodies and hypnotic rhythms, proving that brevity could be simply as immersive.
Rami shares, “It’s all the time very pleasurable and thrilling to satisfy individuals who, in a roundabout way, resemble you – who share the identical imaginative and prescient, the identical freedom of their expression, boundless limits to our creativity.
That is what it’s all about: it’s about power, it’s concerning the second, and, if I’ll say, it’s about breaking the boundaries. This strategy permits us to actually begin from improvisation, then it turns into a kind of a standard language, even if we come from completely different backgrounds and we converse completely different languages.
With the ability to journey by way of such a wide range of feelings and musical adventures, is basically what I search for. Taking part in on this trio is mostly a nice supply of inspiration, and I hope we will carry this dream to the viewers within the close to future.”
