Amma (a requiem to the paleocontact hypothesis)

by Habitat Farine

supported by

sumbuk A side project by Xavier Gelard the drummer for Ghost rhythms, this sounds like the soundtrack to a short indy film. As usual, Camille Petit helps out on keyboards, as a best friend/collaborator should. :-)

liosillon Cette musique témoigne d'une sensation de beauté extrême : c'est de la balle. Favorite track: Nommo.

about

An homage to Dieu d'eau, a book by Marcel Griaule about the Dogon tribe in Africa and their astronomical knowledge.
A requiem to the paleocontact hypothesis, which claimed that Dogons learnt this knowledge from ancient astronauts from another planet.
And, most of all, an illustration of a sentence from Dieu d'eau :
"Dogon religion and Dogon philosophy both expressed a haunting sense of the original loss of twin-ness. The heavenly Powers themselves were dual, and in their Earthly manifestations they constantly intervened in pairs…"

Mind the goat
by Ghost Rhythms

supported by 21 fans who also own “Amma (a requiem to the paleocontact hypothesis)”

This joint project created by keyboardist Camille Petit and drummer Xavier Gélard is several things at the same time: Chamber music, jazz, RIO, zeuhl, avantgarde, post-prog, post-minimalism... maybe even more. And it's magnificent! If you like this music and bought all "Ghost Rhythm" albums already, you might want to go on with "The Lady With" - a related top-notch music pleasure with Camille Petit at the helm. Sven B.

The Lady With The Monkey
by Lady With

supported by 19 fans who also own “Amma (a requiem to the paleocontact hypothesis)”

This is a project from Camille Petit, the keyboard player for Ghost Rhythms. It's in a similar vein, but with perhaps more of an overt prog rock influence, at times I get kind of a post-rock atmospheric vibe, too. Check this out if you like Ghost Rhythms! I can recommend this just as highly as their releases. Deidre House
