Ernest visited many countries without moving, discovered different cultures, shared knowledge and learned with humility. I did my best to follow in his footsteps and gathered together fragments of my expeditions, compiled in this travel diary that bears his name..." Volfoniq ::: FRENCH ::: "Cet album est dédié à Ernest, qui m'a enseigné l'art du voyage par la pensée, et comment voir sans utiliser mes yeux. Ernest a visité de nombreux pays sans se déplacer, découvert des cultures différentes, partagé son savoir et appris avec humilité. Je me suis efforcé de suivre ses pas et j'ai réuni des fragments de mes expéditions, compilés dans ce carnet de voyage qui porte son nom..."

Footsteps : the unknown woman in Tokyo contemporary art museum Inspired by Sydney Bechet (Petite Fleur), remix & Dub by Volfoniq This track is dedicated to Papi Michel / / / ARTIST BIO / / / Founded in 2004, Volfoniq is a "one-man-dub" from the south of France. In a retro-futuristic mood, he uses his classical formation (clarinet) and a rich musical history to produce a dub that goes farther than tags, respecting the jamaican roots, but adventuring into new lands of experimentation. Based both on electronic and acoustic elements, his music is fundamentally opened and generous. Recognized for his producer and remixer skills, Volfoniq stepped over the stages in France and Europe thru rare and osmotic livesets. Encounters and sharing are at the center of Volfoniq's approach, that led him to collaborate with numerous artists from different kinds and places (see Discography). On this pilgrimage, he's faithful to LibreCommeLair (LCL) label, and also made some releases on prestigious e-labels like Jahtari (D) or A Quiet Bump (I). Volfoniq shared the stage with the likes of : Alborosie (I), Brain Damage (F), Das Kraftfuttermischwerk (D), Disrupt (D), Dj Palotai (H), Dreadzone (UK), Dub4 & Mc Taiwxan (F), Jahcoozi (D), Junior Cony (F), Kaophonic Tribu (F), Rusko (Uk), Solo Banton (Uk), SoomT (Uk), Tribuman (F), Uppercut Band (Uk), Zion Train (Uk)... / / / ARTIST LINKS / / / Volfoniq website > http://www.volfoniq.com Volfoniq Facebook > http://www.facebook.com/volfoniq Volfoniq Twitter > http://www.twitter.com/volfoniq Volfoniq Soundcloud > http://www.soundcloud.com/volfoniq Volfoniq Blog > http://volfoniq.blogspot.com / / / KEEP IN TOUCH WITH OUR LABEL / / / Get this release and lots of others for free and legal on LibreCommeLair (LCL) online label !
