New release: TWO WORLDS, by Hiroshi Kobayashi & Rafael Esteve. NEMS#19

Posted on by

Hiroshi Kobayashi, sinobue, flute, picolo, alto flute, bass flute; Rafael Esteve, double bass. This is the planned record by two masters sharing their two worlds: orient and occident. Efforts in order to release it in the 90’s failed; but the music is too good to remain in a shelf. It is amazing how both worlds merge to produce an outstanding piece of art. This was a duo with huge potential, as some had already realized then. Complexities of life made it not possible, but the recorded effort deserves another opportunity.

Posted on by

Antoni Robert, synthesizer, sound process; Marduque Rebecca, voice. Equipment: Blofeld synthesizer, Arturia Beatstep, Pandora Korg effects pedal, Xenyx  QX 1002 Behringer mix desk effects. Played on March, 30th, 2020, during the Coronavirus pandemic. Pandemic Suite #12.  Processed in November 2020 and January 2021. Voice taken from videos of Marduque Rebecca. Texts from O Caminho Iniciático nos Arcanos do Tarôt e da Cabala (Samael Aun Weor, Bogotà 1917- Mexico 1977). This is a special project. The sounds waited for months until I found the right voice. I choosed this voice, among many others, because it is haunting and warm. The words are from a cabalistic text, but in reality this is of no importantce. Voice is used as an instrument.Thanks to Hamfuggi Records for releasing it.
