about

✪ BULGARIAN SPIRIT EP ✪ [ENG]

Polyphony singing is an old vocal technique omnipresent in the Bulgarian folklore. Popularized in Western Europe by Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares ensemble in the 80's, the strength of Bulgarian (mainly) woman voices spread to the whole world and touched many due to its authentic and mysterious aspects.

In Bulgarian Spirit, this realm of voices merges with deep electronic music. A brilliant mix of textures and harmonies, combined with deep basses and kicks, leading to an epic soundtrack for a mystical trip.

Alizarina’s clarinet flutters, glides and swoops over the songs, chatting with the beautiful Vadé voices. It also contributes to the rhythmical punches which frame the colourful picture of a subtle world-electronic fusion.

Be ready to flit on 7/8 or 9/8 broken beats, and particularly the enchanting poetic a capella song from Russian Gypsy culture: “Nie Bouditie” [trans. Don’t wake me up]




✪ BULGARIAN SPIRIT EP ✪ [FR]

Le chant polyphonique est une ancienne tradition vocale très présente dans le folklore bulgare. Démocratisée dans les années 80 par l’ensemble : « Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares », la puissance de ces voix slaves (de femmes principalement) se répand dans le monde et touche tant par son authenticité que son aspect mysterieux.

Dans « Bulgarian Spirit », cet univers dissonant rencontre la profondeur de la musique électronique. Un mélange riche en textures et en harmonies, combiné à des basses sombres et des kicks éclatants, faisant de ces 4 morceaux la bande originale d’un voyage mystique.

La clarinette d’Alizarina, plus que jamais virevoltante, dialogue avec les envoutantes voix de Vadé et dessine les contours d’une fusion subtile entre musique du monde et électronique.

Immergez-vous dans les rythmes 7/8 et 9/8 des Balkans et laissez-vous emporter par la poésie du dernier morceau venu de la culture tzigane de Russie: « Nie Bouditie » [trad. Ne me réveillez pas]
