in a few comment,
click this link down the page ( but at your own risk !!! ) :
...especially if you're looking for some pyroclastic deseases (...HAHA !!!!!!!!! )
Let just say shortly but more seriously:
it title is MA DARE ...that means litterally in Bobo language "I said that..." and is, of course, sung in that african language ( Bobo-Mandarè ) by my friend Omar DAO
The voice take as well as the early MIDI orchestration where made in Burkina Faso...then my cooking work has been made at my home...
- have an intense fun if its of your taste, that's all i hope for you !!!

Thanks for the fiew comment because this song was more than any other of the actually allmost finished prodution, a really hard and mind-boggling work !
if you' re curious about some details :
- You may hear some microcomputer sounds
( beggining of instrumental part )
- some m-tron too
( strings during instrumental part and laughs at the very end of the song )
-some extracted phrases of Bambara language
( first instrumental break and the women at the very end of the song )
- some VL-70 solo parts
( violin-like solo at the middle of the song )
- many animals and soundscapes ( usualy threated through a pitch corrector among other deseases )
- ton of self-made patches on EXS24 ( mostly tunable natural soundscapes )
- some Attack synthetic drum parts and a very few touch of PPG
- a short piece of the yellow tools culture try-out version ( short djembé solo introducing the ending fade-out of the composition )
- some echoes of a gregorian song ( through the I.P of a cathedral : space designer on Logic )
- many self-made patches of Phatmatik Pro ( using every day life soundscapes of Afrika, able to be quantized as rythmical contributions )
- a short contribution of microtera ( kind of "small pipe organ" self-made patch during fade-out )
- and many more masochistic kinds of sonic experimentations,( finally mastered, re-mastered and re-re-mastered !!!!!! )
Just to help you to figure out...
( though they arent maybe allways really significant in the orchestration )
...there is around 60 midi/audio/automation and audioinstrument tracks in that song

made me think at some freaky stuff from BPM&M.
a melange of all kinds of events...remixed and reshredded to oblivion.
is that you soloing on keys?
searching for the impossible, I can say that it's a bit too 4/4 for me. anyway the mix is great and you can feel the challenge.

the very early demo was on a K7 with Omar's voice at the left channel and a BAR pattern at the right (the one you hear at the intro)waiting man wrote:made me think at some freaky stuff from BPM&M.

Everything else is of my own work...
( actually Omar is working in a studio in Ouagadougou, with the change in CFA, it doesn't cost to me much more than 600 swiss francs to do a serious job in there...)
Yes, i made the solo part on a VL-70 , but it was much more a long step-by-step work on seperated tracks...
( melody / modulation / pitch bender )
... than a solo !

On the process to keep this a bit warm...
i just uploaded a short piece of music intended to be an introduction of the almost finished production.
Originally it is a song of oral tradition ( and still surviving values ) of the Bobo ethnia, sung in Bobo-mandarè Language
More than just it title, this song is telling everyone why :
" Destiny is unavoidable " ***
www.anak-krakatoa.net/~downl/Destiny.mp3
I 've made my own mixing work around the women's voices...
( pitch correction, "snow 2" pluggo effect, FXpansion snippet, GRM comb filter and Logic's vocoder )
I intend to keep this title ( in Bobo-mandarè, of course ! ) for the production itself ...
