LEVA LEVA : LITANY OF THE PORTUGUESE FISHERMEN by Various Artists

It's been 1 year since our last appearance, but we are back with a new series of releases, presented in 2 parts, that aims to take you straight to another dimension, where both your sensations and emotions will connect throughout the music.

UAR003 - US - 2021

Our exploration of Ballet Mechanique’s old DAT archives, stack full of unreleased material from the 90’s era, continues with our sixth release and materializes into the third volume of the “1992-1999 Collection” series. Like the previous two volumes of the series did, also this EP brings to lights the diverse and varied approach of Jeroen’s productions: an A side featuring more “ravey” and uplifting tunes, and a B side focused on funk fuelled electro and IDM.

Éditions Appærent is extremely proud to present the original soundtrack for Christopher Makoto Yogi's film I Was a Simple Man, composed by Alex Zhang Hungtai and Pierre Guerineau.I Was a Simple Man is a ghost story set in the pastoral countryside of the north shore of O'ahu, Hawai'i. Revealed in four chapters, it tells the story of an elderly man facing the end of his life, visited by the ghosts of his past. Incorporating familial history and mythology, dream logic and surrealism, I Was a Simple Man is a time-shifting, kaleidoscopic story of a fractured family facing the death of their patriarch that will take us from the high-rises of contemporary Honolulu to pre-WWII pastorals of O'ahu and, finally, into the beyond.The soundtrack is a delicate, elegaic paean to Hawai'i as it appears in the film; lush and florid; subtly psychedelic; bathed in moonlight. The sound of the island — the spirit of the island — is as much an instrument as Zhang's saxophone or the scattered, raindrop piano that peppers the record. Even at harsh peaks, like a no-input mixer talking to itself like a lonely ghost, the record retains a sense of quizzical calm. Both nothingness and interrogating nothingness; misery and magic.
