Morpho

Dub composer (among other things) since1995,I’ve taken part in the creation and in the evolution of many amateur and professional bands (Kali yuga mandala, Assin, Bilor, Jukebox,…) as a keyboard player (mainly) , also as a singer, bass or percussion player.

I also played (with live performances) in an African percussion band, a song band, in a Batucada, a sound-system, and in a music group with children and doubled keyboard playing for live Reggae bands (Mina indah, Rasta Bigoud,…).

Thanks to my great experience in all kinds of live performances, I ‘d like, now, to build my own live project with my dub songs.

These tracks are the result of an extra-musical work in progress finding its roots in subjects I am interested in (such as voodoo, morphos, amazonia, penal colony) mixed with memories of some places I used to live in (Guiana, Tahiti, Britanny) and with notorious musical influences
(Rythm & sound, Aphex Twin, Mad prof,…and many others.)

The people who took part in this project :

-Bess: Assin band’s singer. From Benin. He has studied at the Music Academy in Senegal. Being a professional musician for 20 years (dance, percussion, singer, reggae, afro), He sings in “Rojo”, “projector” and “zebra”.
