I just remembered this. I remember German Shepherd being the best. Francis was second. Maybe biased.

Francis Plagne Likes Kurt Cobain

Merzouga Too...

So many stars.

Merzouga Jam

While I went to the desert Sahara with my friend Lauren, I heard this and captured it. Just young folks jamming like you or I. I guess they are like Berber folk songs.
There is more of this to upload...

Ladies and Gentlemen We Were Floating In Space Re Place

Here is Somaloha! playing in the sound installation I made for a show that was on during the State of Design Festival 2009. It was called 'Ladies and Gentleman We Are Floating In Space' and was severely indebted to the work of Alvin Lucier. My friend Vijay wrote the MaxMSP code for me. Vijay is xenosine. Somaloha! consists of Duncan Eastey from Melbourne prog/sun-psychers The Sun Blindness and myself. The work essentially transformed a disused basement on Bourke St. in Melbourne into a big reverb tank / delay machine. It was fun while it lasted.

Also here is one audio cycle of the Opening.

Brian Jones presents...

The Master Musicians of Jajouka,
Brian Jones Presents The Pipes of Pan At Jajouka

From 1968, these recordings captured by Jones and his cabal documents the Moroccan musicians status as hip influencers of the late sixties pop world continuing right through to the now (Lee Ronaldo who performed with them in 2003). Discovered by Brion Gysin and Paul Bowles in the fifties through Moroccan painter Mohamed Hamri, Gysin introduced Jones to the sounds in 1968 and the Musicians held sway at the beat hangout The One Thousand and One Nights in Tangier during the times. Recorded on two-track during the very dionysian festival for Pan, full of manic, panic inducing rituals, goat-sacrifice and intense, repetitive music, Jones took the recordings back to ol' blighty and duly fucked with them until they sounded pleasing to his warped reality (completing the project just before his death in '69). This album is apparently the first 'World' music record to be released. Good onya Jonesy.

Check it out. Here
