Von Magnet dreams of the existence of other possible paths thin
and minute. those tightrope walking paths almost invisible.
bouncing in between two perils, two poles, above empires, across
frames, which can slip through the breaches of any walls. that is
the story of this album. when rage is accompanied by tears. this
album is our reaction facing the brutal reality of our world
today. a world under pressure where all is put into opposition,
where everything would like to divide us and where we are being
arbitrarily dictated the absolute necessity of a choice. but with
ni prdateur ni proie (neither predator nor prey) we will not
choose our side. there between partial / impartial, north /
south, subjective / objective, orient / occident, coward / hero,
poor / rich, indifferent / partisan we will remain bare handed,
like astonished and turbulent children dancing on a mine field.
we will just stare at you, we will fall into rage and boil into
tears. within this emotional turmoil, flore magnet and the
turkish actress esra bezen bilgin replace women where they are
never welcome. women of multiplicity, violence, engagement and
resistance. phil von gives way to the voices of the rom kids of
mostar and the jewish and palestinian actors from amos gitai and
hany abu-assad movies. at their side, def sharpens his analogue
bass lines and darkens atmospherical ambiances which often feel
like war. scattered explosions, shots, crackles, complaints or
laments. only our guest, kurdish sufi musician mbin dunen
softens the crawling tension. his ney bringing our clamour down
to a silent light thread. now von magnet signs a harsh, raw,
urgent and poetical piece, mixed and produced flawlessly by
master norscq. another dary fusion which binds classical music
flavours with oriental rhythms, tribal percussions within neo
industrial electronic soundscapes. here orient is not any more
sensual and phantasmagoric, it is rigid and almost cold. here
occident is no more sparkling and victorious, it is sad and
decadent. nevertheless neither predator nor prey is the length
of rope which suddenly ties them up, confronting our hearts to
dive close to the abyss. digipak packaging
