ODG164 : Ruben Van Rompaey / Orienbient

ODG164 : Ruben Van Rompaey / Orienbient

New album from Dutch electronic composer Ruben Van Rompaey (see also his albums feat. Toshinori Kondo OJP057OJP061OJP062 and OJP065) doing a mix of orientalist ambient music, therefore the title of the album: Orienbient! Perfect to bring you to another mood in this cold December month!

From Ruben's words:
"The long-awaited sequel to Tokyo Fusion, Orienbient represents a coalescence between worlds of ambient and oriental music in the broadest sense of the word. 
More precisely: ambient with an oriental touch. For this album I wanted to create a fresh musical realm, letting musical outings naturally blend with organic beats, layers of oriental percussion instruments such as riqq and darbuka surrounded by invigorating vibes."
 
With a strong Pan-Asian, Japanese spirit obviously present as ever, the music takes the listener through mystic, hypnotic sound palettes laced with sonic oscillating structures and mesmerizing melodies. 
 
Listen to the music, close your eyes and…for a brief instant you imagine yourself in another, magical state.

OMT013 : El Gueye / Tameu

 


Cover art by A.L.


OMT013: El Gueye / Tameu

Tameu is the new single from Senegal star El Gueye (see also OMT005). 
It means 'inseparable' in wolof.
A simple story of 2 people that cannot live separately.

El Gueye has already recorded 3 albums and is recognised as one of the best singer and composer in Senegal. 
The Senegalese musical heritage is better known than that of most African countries, thanks to the popularity of this mbalax style and Sabar drumming is particularly popular.
El Gueye is preparing a new album that will include lots of new different elements going further away from Mbalax.
