TYMPANUM by DIDJAMAN

Iconoclastic sound explorer, Raphael Didjaman dared once again, put the foot and the didgeridoo, where we did not expect !

Upon introduction of this timeless album, the mysterious voice of Ollia HORTON (radio RFI & IDFM) plunges us into a physical reflection on our ear and use... all wrapped in a spatio-temporal universe hovering thanks to synthesizers and Raphael Didjaman to didgeridoos, he knows so well how to weep and sing !

Follows a gentle determined Electro, which takes you on irresistible rhythms, interspersed with scenes reminiscent of the crazy and trippy concert of PINK FLOYD and PLASTIKMAN !

After 40 intense minutes, Raphael Didjaman fence on his "RAVEL'S VISION", a very surprising adaptation of the famous Bolero by Ravel, where didgeridoos replaced the famous snare of this essential work !
The melody is played by the talented pianist SYLVAIN GOURLAY a legendary BOB MOOG synthesizer... would it be a homecoming ?...

" 5 years have passed between the day I decided to take the Bolero de RAVEL, and the release of the vinyl ... because I did not miss me on this one ! And what made me decide to come out in vinyl is when I received the letter of appreciation and acceptance of Ravel publishers... thank you to them. The irony is that the BOLERO just come into the public domain since May 2016... " - Raphaël Didjaman -
