HDADD - BLACK MOTHER

HDADD’s still keeping his immersive touch but focuses on a straightforward narrative where the contemplative moods of past works have been replaced by a fictional kind of nervous storytelling.

Don’t get it wrong: we’re still talking about psychedelia but forget the hippie, transcendent vibes of his last works and make room to this new dizzy experience whose depth is enhanced by an explicit songwriting and a production which, in some way, sounds more physical than ever before.

The record is structured on a series of episodes where mutant afro-beat blends with Mediterranean folklore and sci-fi electronics clash with ancient futurist ballads in order to create a murky cinematic atmosphere: a continuous chase where tension and relief, damnation and delight pursue each other.

We’ve this febrile jazzfunk that leads the listener in the twilight zone, where the deepest darkness and the highest enlightenment are dualist reflections in a mirror, which is placed at the core of the entire work. Imagine a rush in a gloomy sequence shot: an haunted corridor where sepia tones and fluorescence alternate fast like paints on a black wall.

This work aims to adapt as an imaginary soundtrack for a contemporary Grand Guignol or a Freak Show.A metaphorical and existential description of our times and its rituals in which the audience is the show itself and no one is allowed to experience the drama in the comfort of a seat.

HDADD - Sense of Wonder

"Sense of Wonder" is an imaginary soundtrack made of jazz funk, psychedelic hermetism, electronics and a lot of Soul. But, in this case, it makes no sense to refer to labels when it is the instinctive harmony with which these, and other elements, are made to account for how much heart the "Body of Sound" can get to have 'till it turns into a savage genius.

This time HDADD leads into an utopian place where past and future collapse: an ephemeral experience, like a dream state that lasts the length of the record. A trance inducing attempt to conduct the soul of the listener into a primordial state of virginity, where the wilderness of feelings rules over any rational analysis. Like a sleepwalk into a paradise lost from a long time in the deepest corner of human consciousness.

This record is the Experience under X-rays scan: the soul is now warmed by an electric dawn or an ephemeral and definitive sunset, an enlightment obtained by fixing the heat of the horizon's aurora in a sparse meditation. The astonishment of a visitor who's taking the majestic silk roads that leads into the Artifacts of Heaven.

The listening experience is the artificial heaven itself where symbols, science, technology and soul collide inside the spirit of the whole: like a discovery of a new ecosystem where the elements are choreographed by the harmonic order of chaos which arouse the "Sense of Wonder".
An unabashed track after track makes its way through the branches, stones, water and the clouds of an almighty benign nature, which is bathing in the lights of the past and the future.

This work aims to suspend the reality and scratches the surface that hides the implicit numinous qualities of the listeners until the awake comes leaving them with the archetypical memory of the eternal that lives in every one of us.
Nothing more than a Spiritual Thing.
Om.

OKE' - Tree of Life

OKE' is the collective effort of three kindred spirits who enjoy astral traveling, and following their own pineal glands, or perhaps telepathy, accidentally collided planet QS. They like to describe their output as an eruption: it's the fire of creation that tries to reach the sky and every gram of its magma fell on the ground it's pure fertility.
If the mountain is the trunk its fountain of fire draws the missing part of their plan: a tree of life whose branches, leaves and fruits connect the earth to the sky.
Their music is the expression of inner worlds: the thin membrane which wraps their spirits is a sonic halo through which you can embrace their experience made of pure emotions expressed on the thin line that crosses the Cosmic Chaos to lead toward the Supreme Order.
Oke' is the Knowledge of the Heights through Elevation and Wisdom.
