Once Ocean entered the studio it took another two years to deconstruct Pantheon Of The Lesser until they had found the essence of their writing. This disciplined deconstructionist approach to songwriting is how Ocean takes it…
Kobaia
In early 1967, John Coltrane died. Christian Vander was twenty years old, living in something close to poverty in Paris, and Coltrane's death pulled the ground from under him. He went to Italy, to Milan and Turin, and spent nearly two years in a state of deliberate self-destruction. One morning in Turin he woke up and decided to stop. He returned to Paris, met bassist Laurent Thibault, and began working on something that had no name yet.
