Description

Folksongs From A Non-existing Land, an album from Roland Van Campenhout, the enchanting Belgian king of dharma bums, brings mantras from India, hypnotically repetitive Javanese gamelans - voodoo swamps from New Orleans, in the style of Sandy Bull & The Bayou Maharaja, small electronic soundscapes with poetic lyrics ... Recorded in Ghent, Belgium & beautifully mixed in Tokyo by Joe Talia, with some top notch jazz chats. His own atmosphere crackles, miles away from the ersatz, bam-a-lama background music that surrounds us all 24 hours a day. Folksongs From A Non-existing Land, the healing haiku poetry of a place somewhere very near the enigmatic heart of the matter.
