OCD023: Jean-Marc Lederman Experience / The Last Broadcast On Earth

The Last Broadcast on Earth is a concept album revolving around the possible last radio show on earth before...?

An intruiging music adventure unwraps in front of you in this multiplatform album em- bedded in a videogame.
3 questions:
Is this the latest day on Earth ?
Why is there only radio station broadcasting ?
What happens at the end of the night ?

From Julianne Regan to Arianna Froxeanne, from Tom Shear, Jay Aston to Frank M. Spinath, from Japan to the USA and Italy or India, 13 singers from 8 different countries gather around a mysterious project involving you, driving at night on a deserted road and listening to the only radio on air...
This multisensorial experience will come out first as a free videogame and a website, both
main part where an idea is spread over several platforms (IOS/Android/PC/MAc).

13 singers from 8 different countries:
Julianne Regan (All About Eve)
Anna Domino
Jenna Fearon
Arianna Froxeanne (The Frozen Autumn)
Sophie Drakenvleugels and Raya Shaduwjaagster from Dark Poem

Frank M. Spinath (Seabound, Ghost & Writer)

Tom Shear (Assemblage 23)
Sam Devos (For Greater Good)
Jean-Marc Lederman (The Weathermen, Alain Bashung, Fad Gadget)
With apperances from Bertand Burgalat and Matt Johnson (The The)

17 songs, more than 52 minutes of music recorded as a one track with radio calls, adverts and great songs by amazing singers.
A journey like no other that makes you want to return to listen to it like it really was the last broadcast on earth!

Composed, played, arranged and produced by Jean-Marc Lederman (bio).

The digital release has been taken out of all platforms at the demand of Jean-Marc.
Physical release on the tenth of April 2015.

ODG037 : Four of a kind / That Kind of Jazz

cover art by A.L., pic. by Mango Kingoroo

ODG037 : Four of a kind / That Kind of Jazz

First EP for that new, young and very talented band. 
Formed around Brussels Jazz conservatory students, Four of a kind delivers the kind of classical Jazz our parents were loving. It is a choice of various reasons, notably their love for the 50ties. 
They have won a few awards already and are invited to play in various Belgium festivals.
All the tracks on the EP are original compositions.
A straight departure from the experimental/ noise/ jazz that Off does habitually, but definitively their kind of Jazz! And my father would have been happy for once!
No Wiplash music but close!
Mixed and mastered by Pierre Vervloesem who told me: "They are so pro that this could be their 73rd album!"
