Yangon State Of Mind

Single DE 2017 on Outtakes label
Electronic (Downtempo)

Release Notes: 'Goethe Institut and the Berlin Club Commission invited me for a show, talks, studio and DJ workshops to Yangon, capital of Myanmar - the country formerly known as Burma. Lucky me could travel with Lutz Leichsenring, Sascha Disselkamp and Lola Luc, get inspired and meet local talent through musician and social worker Darko C. One day my mission was to find the 'D.I.Y Studio' run by Logn Logne with only a little piece of paper with an address in Burmese signs. Adventure time. I met a bunch of local musicians, young producers and writers like i2, Hein Htet (MJN), Right D and T-Zin for a little session. I basically started to cut up a beat out of the field recordings I've made the days before and showed the guys how I make use of found sound sometimes to weave aural memories into music. They jumped on the groove and came up with different ideas on their instruments and computers. From this jam I took a bunch of loops and sounds home, where I also checked through all my recorded mobile phone video bits. I thought of a piece, that works as a little self-explanatory report what happened on the whole impressive journey where I could learn a lot about high life, low life and freedom - as I basically do all the time making a living with music I love. Many thanks to everyone I met over there in Myanmar, the crew from the Berlin homebase, Max H. Raeder for the video editing and the Punchi towelscarf to prove useful in tropical heat. Yangon State is the finale of OUTTAKES season one. To be continued. 1love ' C:
