more on leah chandra's project
Aug. 15th, 2005 02:36 pmI found the website for her current project, Molotov Elysian (note: has sound on opening). It looks like there is an EP coming out in September and a full length album on the way, hopefully gigs will be forthcoming! The band is described as:
Molotov Elysian is the experimental co-writings of Leah Chandra and Daisuke Fuchigami, a delightfully unexpected combination of two very different styles -- one soul-woven musings, the other studio-abusing sound collage. The duo weaves melody, music and noise; it is sung at times in English, at other times borrowing from other languages, and even other times in languages long forgotten or not yet created. The writing/arranging approach is largely inspired by methods forged by Eno/Lanois, early 4AD projects, and individual hybrid pieces like Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky. MolEl moves this hybrid-genre forward, exploring the bridges and patterns between realities and imagined potentials of language.
Sounds good to me! I tried to sign up for their email list but it seemed to be broken.
Updated to add: the mailing list thing does work, it only seems broken.
