Safari

Featuring: Ramuntcho Matta

2007 release (RARE) ** "The trio's first collective improvisation on Alexandre Pasquino's film "Walkin' LA" at Ramuntcho Matta's. The vibe is right, the playing is there, the atmosphere relaxed. Recordings of improvisation sessions with Simon's visits to Paris as an excuse. Making music for the pleasure of drifting on the edge of styles and forms. All recordings come from acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments (guitar, bass, sax, flute, spoon, vocals, traditional instruments, etc.). The group accumulated recordings and improvised material over several months. All of this was listened to again, edited, sorted, reassembled, processed, and mixed to give birth to the 14 tracks on this first album. Safari's album Happy Hands, released in 2008, is first and foremost a collaboration between three musicians but also a meeting between visual artists. With Frédéric Dutertre on the landscapes and Simon Spang-Hanssen on the figurines and Ramuntcho Matta on tasks and traits, several pieces were staged by Saturne-féérique through small video clips."
