Invited by Compagnie Linga to compose the musical score of the dance production 'Flow' and perform it live, KEDA created a mesmerizing soundtrack, in which E’Joung-Ju stirs up lively rhythms and melodic fragments of the Korean geomungo, like an electric bass, which Mathias Delplanque captures and mutates in ambient and noise collages, ensuring a hypnotic pull.

Lacuna
Posted On: 27th of November, 2019
Posted In: Patrick Graham, John Sellekaers, Unnatural, Remix, Mathias Delplanque, Percussion, Ambient, Abstract, Experimental Music, Dub, Tradition, Continuum, Belgium, Canada
Taken from Unnatural, the forthcoming album by Patrick Graham & John Sellekaers due on February 25 2020, Lacuna is the first of a series of three singles released each month for free with their accompanying remixes.
The track testifies of the dynamic at work between Canadian percussionist/improviser Patrick Graham and Belgian sound artist John Sellekaers where the vast percussion-based sound palette is sculpted to create a dark and enigmatic soundtrack, a physical sound immersion into some imaginary ritual.
We've asked our dear friend and close collaborator Mathias Delplanque (KEDA - Foch/Delplanque) to give Lacuna the remix treatment. His re-envisioning of Patrick & John's sustained tones injects the original with pulse and dub elements (reminding of his work as Lena) without losing the sense of space present in Lacuna but framing it into new territories.

KEDA & Compagnie Linga

FLOW marks the first collaboration between Compagnie Linga and KEDA, the French-Korean duo formed by Mathias Delplanque and E'Joung-Ju, master of the geomungo , having released two album with Parenthèses Records.
With the hypnotic, warm, dancing and stateless folk music specially composed for the piece and performed live, a choreographic work was imagined for Compagnie Linga's dancers using the astonishing performance of animal group movements such as benches of sardines or flocks of bird as the metaphorical vision.
Check out this little gem of TEASER to get a taste of it.
KEDA announces new album
Posted On: 31st of January, 2018
Posted In: KEDA, Mathias Delplanque, E'Joung-Ju, Korea, France, Geomungo, Festival Printemps Coréen, Experimental Music, World Music, Tradition, Continuum
KEDA is back with a new release entirely recorded live on May 27 2017 at Festival Printemps Coréen in Nantes while improvising on a painting created in real time by Korean cartoonist Keum Suk Gendry-Kim.
On Live at Cosmopolis, KEDA embraces a noisier and full-on improvised approach placing the duo amongst a rising tide of korean musicians/projects currently making a name for themselves as true adventurers such as multi-instrumentalist Park Jiha, post-rockers Jambinai, Pansori maestro Bae il Dong or Danso player Hyelim Kim to name a few.
The album is out on January 26th and is made available as a FREE download via our Bandcamp HQ.
