Description
Ethno-folk field recordist Laurent Jeanneau debuts pan-Asian electro.
After recording the indigenous musics of countless Asian villages and releasing over 50 cd-r's of these documents on his own label, Laurent Jeanneau debuts his own KINK GONG electro project on Atavistic! 'Since 1995 I am involvedÃÂ in 2 complementary activities - first recording ethnic minority music, mostly in southeast asia (India, Tanzania, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, China); and second, composing electronic music that includes or transformsÃÂ those recordings. Every country has a different context, so also my approach is different - depending on how muchÃÂ time I spend, how close I am with the people, the degreeÃÂ of acculturation, how easy it is to find musicians,ÃÂ the political situation, who I am working with. In many cases, I seem to beÃÂ the first one to record those musicians; I am aware of this exclusive dimension, but this is not essential. I won't pretend that I'm doing it for saving endangered cultures, nowadays everyone is using those words...' -LJ, 2009.
