about

Kinematik spent the best part of 2020 under lockdown, trying to come to grips with Lebanon's and the world's new realities, battling societal, economical and sanitary hurdles and obstacles.
In October 2020, upon receiving an invitation from Irtijal Festival in Beirut to perform in its 20th edition, the former trio evolved into a full-blown ensemble, comprising a total of 6 musicians - the core line-up of Anthony Sahyoun, Rudy Ghafari and Akram Hajj was joined by frequent collaborators Jad Atoui, Ziad Moukarzel and Teddy Tawil.
The Irtijal performance laid the roots for a series of recording sessions, that coalesced a few months later into the long-form, elaborate compositions that make up "Al Jadi", the band's third album - with the idea of imitating the mechanics behind electronic music, in a jazz-like big band format. The result is a culling, a peek into the annihilation of everything that breathes, a sick joke.

Hex; Or Printing In The Infernal Method
by Earth

supported by 5 fans who also own “Ensemble 1: Al Jadi”

A partir de quand a germé dans l'esprit de Earth l'idée d'un album dans le style de Hex; Or Printing In The Infernal Method ? Neuf ans séparent cet album de Pentastar: In The Style of Demons mais il est d'une telle simplicité qu'on le croirait créé dans l'instant. Earth joue un drone simple infusé d'influences western : les titres sont cinématographiques, les arpèges à la guitare et la batterie se perdent dans de vastes et espaces. Simple... mais le voyage méditatif est immédiat et sans retour. Jordan Vauvert
