Tracks list
The trademark eclectic music of artist Franck Biyong is once again
carefully represented in this impressionist album.These new recordings were
essentially conceived as an "independent movie soundtrack" with a soft touch of
progressive jazz arrangements in the background.
The overall sound here seems subtler, looser and brighter. This spacey music
reaches another level of sophistication. “I felt we needed to consider
things differently and hopefully we wound up with this strange sound. I also
made room for the guitar"...And the bottom-heavy music remains accessible...
As more and more musicians emerge here and there with Africa in mind, Biyong
will be considered as one of the true pioneers brilliantly pushing the Afro-Jazz
fusion movement forward.
