MANINKARI - PHANTASMES (LP)

"Phantasmes is a 50 minutes experimental sci-fi movie written and directed by Thomas Pantalacci. "A sensory experience between dream and reality, fantasy and eroticism, awakening and sleep." For that purpose, the band Maninkari wrote a two-part - one per side - 39 minutes soundtrack with multiple pieces. The tracks are not marked out because here, even silence is vital. It doesn't soothe the tensions, but amplifies the feeling of oddness of the music. Dark ambient, syncopated drumming, dissonant chords. Maninkari use all the sonority spectrum, mixing aggressive high-pitched violin with deep and voluptuous bass sounds. Playing on the thin border between dreaming and awakening, Phantasmes is a mental and physical record; seductive, disturbing and lustful." (label info) with download code
