La Géographie sans Regret CDR is available
The physical version of George Christian + Mehata Sentimental Legend’s scorching new album is out!
je cherche une place pour apparaitre
un lieu très lent
un endroit pour ouvrir les yeux
sans avoir peur
une vallée où les nuits demande au jour
de prendre son temps pour se lever
et où le jour reste en veille
pendant toute une échange de paroles
et de regard intense
je cherche une place pour apparaitre
sans me soucier des vents qui caressent
des instants sans fin
des jeux ou le rire est gagnant
je cherche sans croire
je cherche une place pour apparaitre
sans disparaitre…

La Géographie sans Regret is available
The haunting new collaboration from two emerging artists from Brazil and Japan. Sheets of noisy harmony, shimmering textures, microtonal explorations, and voice drenched in reverb seep in and out of existence. Somewhere between avant/noise rock and experimental electronic, this recording is a strange trip that gets better with each hearing.
more from artist Wilhelm Matthies:
La Géographie sans Regret (George Christian & Mehata Sentimental Legend) is about exploring emotional grounds, exhilarating here, melancholy there, dark and tortured there, but without regret. Each musical piece seems to have originated from an emotional reality which is expressed in written words and transformed with the same intensity and emotional and moral ambiguity into musical language.
As a collaboration, George Christian was able to go beyond language barriers which could trap him into such territories, and was able to communicate it to Mehata Hiroshi. Mehata Hiroshi was able to match it both musically and with his visual artwork. His visual artworks, likewise, have the depth, sparkle, horror, and exhilaration expressed in the music they made.
Two young artists show us what it is like to be young, risk taking, treading on water, mud, solid ground sometimes, but throughout it all, without regret.
