Musique Bizarre by Sounds Of New Soma

"Musique Bizarre" is already the eleventh album by the experimental sound duo SOUNDS OF NEW SOMA (Alex Djelassi | Dirk Raupach).
The approach to the creation of the songs was completely different this time. A double LP was envisaged as the concept, with various musicians from Tonzonen label bands. A collaboration where musicians / bands provide the duo with sound files to be recorded for this concept. The musicians were completely free to decide what would be made available to the duo in the end. .
The duo then processed the resulting fragments in their Helmtown studio. Ideas for the sound files were developed and recorded. A process that took several months. Some of the songs came together very quickly, others were complex and difficult, but the duo finally succeeded in bringing all the submitted ideas into new song structures and giving the album a unity. This was not an easy undertaking, as the bands' specifications ranged from classic rock elements to avant-garde sound files to free jazz and oriental elements. But "Musique Bizarre" has been given a clear structure and is a self-contained, always exciting concept album.
A special sound cosmos from catchy songs to elusive free pieces. The electronic part of SOUNDS OF NEW SOMA plays a big role, as well as the classical instrumentation of rock and jazz music.
The recordings were mixed in the local Helmtown Studio and mastered once again by Eroc (Grobschnitt).
The deliberately reduced cover artwork is complemented by the multi-layered colourful illustration on the inside, which perfectly fits the theme of the album. The artist Gerry Carnelly created the artwork especially for "Musique Bizarre".
The band has released the tracks Dadengi, Das Salodenprinzip, Überschwupper and Balkenspirale as videos.

"Musique Bizarre" is released as CD / Double-LP on Tonzonen Records
