The Lisu
One of the longest standing figures amidst the Discrepant wolfpack, the unstoppable
alias of sound collector Laurent Jeanneau returns to the fold 2 years after Tanzania II with this 2.0 update of the celebrated The Lisu sort-of-mixtape released way back
in 2014.
Based on recordings of music from the Lisu communities in China and Thailand
captured on site, this mix shows Gong more like a selector or dj, restricting electronic
processing to a bare minimum in order to convey different histories, places and
timeframes within the same mesmerising continuum. A respectful and deeply vivid
evocation of all the richness and diversity found among the different strands of lisu
music, from ceremonial vocal incantations through a chibeu string instrument
"processed" in loco through saturated street speakers to moments of pure poetic
radiance, The Lisu flows gracefully with the keen sense of wonder and knowledge of
one of this century's most thoughtful and insightful sonic travellers.
