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.

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 'Hwal'

It's been a long time coming but we're super proud to finally announce the official release date for KEDA (Mathias Delplanque & E'Joung-Ju)'s long awaiting debut album 'Hwal'.
Hwal, meaning ‘bow’ in Korean, was entirely recorded live, then dissected for a whole year by Mathias Delplanque. The result of this long process represents the birth of a project meant to last; to enjoy both on stage and on disc!
Beyond the meeting of two instrumental practices separated by centuries, their creation stands out as an original form, drawing from ambient, dub, blues, African music and noise art. Hypnotic, warm, alternately dancing and meditative, their music is an imaginary folk, a unique and hybrid sonic adventure.
Head to our bandcamp page to listen to Eobu Noale, the first single to emerge until we release more for your earing pleasure.
