OUW026 : Floy Krouchi feat. Kamilya Jubran - Meira Asher - Ahmad Yahyazadeh - Kais Bakri / Couvre-Feux (Curfews)

 



OUW026 : Floy Krouchi feat. Kamilya Jubran - Meira Asher - Ahmad Yahyazadeh - Kais Bakri / Couvre-Feux (Curfews)

In this radio play, Floy Krouchi works with sounds captured in the Middle East since 2001, mixing texts by Tunisian and Lebanese poets, testimonies, Amnesty International reports, and archival documents. The narrative relies on three voices: Arabic, French, and Hebrew, questioning notions of identity, border, and territory in a context of war, in order to explore the possibilities of "sonic catharsis" of a decomposed, transformed reality.

Based on a text by the Tunisian poet Maha Ben Abdeladhim

With excerpts from "Paroles de patience et de départ" by Selma Zghidi (Tunisia) and "Fajr Free Jazz" by Ritta Baddoura (Lebanon)

Dans ce Hörspiel, Floy Krouchi travaille autour de sons capturés sur le théâtre des opérations au Moyen-Orient depuis 2001 en mêlant textes de poètes tunisiennes et libanaises, témoignages, rapports d’Amnesty international et documents d’archives.La trame s’appuie sur trois voix : arabe, français, hébreux, questionnant les notions d’identité, de frontière et de territoire dans un contexte de guerre, de manière à interroger les possibilités de "catharsis sonore" du réel décomposé, transformé.

Musique originale :  Floy Krouchi (basse et traitements électroniques, composition, voix) avec Kamilya Jubran (oud et voix), Meira Asher (électronique, voix), Ahmad Yahyazadeh  (daf), Kais Bakri (flûte).

D'après un texte de la poète tunisienne Maha Ben Abdeladhim

Avec des extraits de "Paroles de patience et de départ" de Selma Zghidi (Tunisie) et de "Fajr Free Jazz" de Ritta Baddoura (Liban)

ODG231 : Mogul / Wounded Echoes

 


Cover art by Mogul


ODG231: Mogul / Wounded Echoes

Madrid-based producer and multidisciplinary artist MOGUL unveils his new EP, Wounded Echoes, a three-track journey through lysergic sonic landscapes where fauna and flora intertwine in an abstract world of organic emotion and synthetic imagination.

Across its three compositions, MOGUL navigates the blurred edges between Ambient, Experimental, and Industrial music, shaping an immersive experience that unfolds in layers of texture, rhythm, and introspection.

The EP opens with “Slender Nymphs”, a piece that adopts a classic pop structure yet bends it into a surrealist opera, blending melody and abstraction with hypnotic precision. Next comes “Moonlit Canopy”, an organic and emotional voyage through a psychedelic jungle, where the listener is drawn inward by vibrant tones and fluid movement. Finally, “Magnetic Wolf” delves into the industrial and shadowy side of MOGUL’s sound, confronting our most instinctive and animalistic self through distorted textures and mechanical pulse.

With Wounded Echoes, MOGUL crafts a beautiful and introspective form of electronic music, one meant to be experienced in silence, savoring each detail, each resonance, each breath within its immersive soundscape.


MOGUL is a Madrid-based producer, composer, and multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the boundaries of experimental electronic music, weaving together elements of Ambient and Industrial sound. 

Drawing deep inspiration from nature and the animal realm, MOGUL’s music unfolds like a hallucinatory journey through vividly colored or shadowy, introspective spaces.

Having trained across various musical disciplines, MOGUL began as an organic musician leading hybrid projects that blended acoustic and electronic elements. Over time, his creative evolution led him to fully embrace electronic production as his primary medium of expression.

OUW025 : Charles-Eric Charrier / Un

 

Cover art by Charles-Eric Charrier


OUW025 : Charles-Eric Charrier / Un

Charles-Eric Charrier is one of those musicians whose career is difficult to summarize in a few lines, so full of curves, digressions, great leaps, uncertainties, and boldness does it appear.
M.A.N, Charles C. Oldman, Oldman are the remains of the past, the successive stages of a process of metamorphosis, of transformation; today he releases these albums under his own name, a sign that a new stage has been reached. Has the circle come full circle? No, the journey doesn't seem to be over…

 
From Yan Kouton: 'His new album, ‘Un,’ is a breathtaking quest for a sound of exceptional density. Far removed, so very far now, from the technological arsenal, it's closer to a music of origins, or more precisely, to a music closest to its relationship with humanity. Captured by legendary, timeless microphones, these compositions are nonetheless startlingly modern, infused with an almost free-form energy, bordering on experimental hip hop and haunting blues. Charles-Eric Charrier projects his poetry with an absolutely stunning precision, power, and sensitivity. In doing so, he explodes the spoken word genre, propelling it to rarely reached heights.

This music is much more than just music. It carries indefinable emotions, by turns terrifying and hypnotic. Incredibly present, it settles in all its apparent simplicity, its rigor, and, in the same movement, its sonic accidents.
So many escapes into an inner world that we so desperately try to keep at bay to avoid suffering. “UN” offers no escape. It brutally confronts us with the unfathomable. There is something viscerally shamanic in these songs, which oscillate between darkness, urban rationality, and the total mystery of nature—in the broadest sense—which acts as an irresistible call.'
 


Either a unique self musically and with his texts or at times influenced by a variety of great composers, 'Un' is a collection of pieces that tell who Charles-Eric is today through 17 intense pieces.
 
Even if you don't speak French, you will not stay insensitive to his voice and music.
Have a listen!

The album is in 4 parts, A and B entirely composed by Charle-Eric, and C and D composed with collaborators or on their ideas and arranged by Charles-Eric.

Charles-Eric has been collaborating and touring with a lot of bands:
Sidi Touré « Koïma » (Thrill Jockey, soon), Lena & The Floating Root Orchestra (Plush, 2008), Rob Mazurek, The Clogs, Rhys Chatham, Jérôme Paressant « Under the House » (Oceanik Creations, 2009)…and more…
He has also published a lot of books.
