An album of “synthetic exotica & pseudo-ethnographic music”.
Sounding like the field recording from an imaginary landscape, “Tristes Tropiques” (named after Claude Lévi-Strauss' landmark ethnographic writing of the same name) deals with the meaning of Exotica & ethnographic recordings (without using them) as well as with cultural categories like “Otherness”. As smart as it is, it's also totally stunning, free-floating music, RIYL Dolphins Into The Future or
Jan Jelinek.
New edition of the album released in 2016.
