FIREPLACE RECORDING & REHEARSAL STUDIO N22

Celebrating Windrushday with the release of MOTOCALYPSO, a mass collaboration of artists... The story of arrival in the unknown; expectations shattered on entry: home as a tourist, communication strained, boundaries broken. . . The reality here is that words in language only contribute to about 7% of our communication: Body language & tone of voice making up the other 93% . . . That's why us musicians from many varying cultures have the ability to speak freely to each other without hinderance using our intuitions of sound and action onstage.

The band . . .

The spirit burger vocal team: @skiesandflorahealing @jb_bassclef@tigerheureux Telling the story, afropriest almighty @eegunofficial This came via jam session with the @regen_sound collective and features master musicians Alex Dayo and Seayool. @seayool classical Korean flautist dances around the calypsonian piano work of @maria.grapsa @alexdayo_drummingschool master burkina bae drummer beat time to infinity with the rhythm section; also JB, Heureux & Grapsa.

The remix is southbound: built from the sound of durban nightclubs QGOM is the game with atmosphere tense and a syncopated sting in the tail.
