From Gela:
This track’s been recorded at MRC when Brian and Myles left me in the main room and said, just play something. I turned the pages on my book and found this amazing poem by Hushang Ebtehaj, and played and sang this piece for the first time. What you hear is what Myles captured in that moment. Feel free to turn on the caption and read the translation.
Please make sure you post/do something to honour this important revolution today. For freedom for #Iran, for freedom for all women in this world.

Thank you all for your support and love.
Woman . Life . Freedom

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.

We’re thrilled to welcome L'ombre de la bête to the Parenthèses roster in partnership with french A La Zim!
L'ombre de la bête is a duo made of Mathias Delplanque (electronics) and François Robin, master of the Veuze, a Breton bagpipe found traditionally in southeastern Brittany and in the northern part of the Vendée, particularly around Nantes.
Their music takes inspiration from the traditionals of that region flirts with krautrock, drone and traditional music.
Their album will see the light in spring 2022.
Stay tuned...

On December 3 2020, Parenthèses Records turned 10 years with the date marking our first release, « The Vedantic Chapter » by Perth-based sound and visual arts collective Masonik.
12 releases came out in this time-lap (yes, we like to take it slow), all encapsulating the label’s core artistic vision but most of all 12 albums that were true collaborative efforts leading to enduring friendships.
To celebrate the big 10, PR is proud to release two free compilations:

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.

PS Art Space (PSAS), Parenthèses Records & Listen/Hear Collective are proud to present The Cinematic Scores IV.
Part new media installation, part performance, The Cinematic Scores offer a unique marriage of film and music. Musical ensembles are invited to respond to a selection of short silent films from the public domain by composing an original score for each of the moving pictures. Presented as a cinematic installation within the monumental ground floor of PS Art Space, the experience is mesmerising and deeply poetic. It is cinema like you have not experienced before.
The Cinematic Scores II was nominated in the Fringe World 2013 Awards for Film & Multimedia and the West Australian said:
“The Cinematic Scores is an event that renders splendidly the power of music to shift our interpretive faculties, a challenging but rewarding experience for performers and audience alike.” (Matthew Sykes, The West Australian)

Parentheses Records Welcomes

Mathias Delplanque is an electronic music composer, music critic, author of sound installations, teacher, composer for theater and dance and the founding member of several musical ensembles. He lives and works in Nantes (France) and runs the Bruit Clair label, dedicated to electronic music and sound art.
E'Joung-Ju is a master of the gomoungo, the six strings traditional Korean wooden instrument, which has a history of over 1600 years, used both in court and popular music.
Their collaboration now called KEDA started in 2010 and confronts the ancestral sounds of gomoungo to textures, rhythms and electronic treatments. Beyond the meeting of two instrumental practices separated by centuries, their creation stands out as original, hypnotic, warm, alternately dancing and meditative, drawing on blues, African, Jamaican, ambient and noise influences.
KEDA is currently working on its debut album due for release in October 2014 and will be touring Europe in 2014 courtesy of Zaman Produtions.
Check out KEDA's live excerpt at the Musee du Quai Branly (Paris) HERE.
