Jobin by KraftiM
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
When I joined Musictrade, I shared my "bin" with my fellow musicians. A good number of songs, sketches ans sounds I didn't like and had rejected. I allowed them to use, transform, cut, do anything they wanted with this stuff.
I won't describe what happened next in a better way than KraftiM did on jamendo :
Once upon a time there was a bin.The result is a brilliant artist giving a new life to these forsaken tracks.
Filled with orphanaged soundsnippets from an artist who hesitated what to do with it. Along came a soundarchitect who just learned to behave more ecologically responsable. And so the bin was searched carefully , parts were scrubbed, put in a new home, chopped, treated, refined, remodelled and combined until 7 tracks came out.
The artist is Joanne Gabriel, the sounds are recycled by KraftiM. The titles are derived from the original tracknames and should be pronounced in french...
It's weird to hear sounds I disliked and didn't care for, used as material for something completely new... and good!
Jobin made me discover new soundscapes, new textures, forget the failure I couldn't help but hear in each sound and replaced it with cheeky cohesiveness. Experimental, free and inventive, KraftiM did what I couldn't do myself : he gave a soul to the ghosts of the bin, built them a world at the heart of which they could now have a life of their own.
Each track has a strong personality, and as a whole the album offers a journey into a strange yet familiar world...
I knew it already, but this album reminds it all the time : KraftiM is a genius regarding sound sculpture, carving and shaping. It can't even be called a remix album, it's much more than that. KraftiM is a Soundarchitect...
