LIGHTKEEPER by SLUMBERLAND & SAINKHO NAMTCHYLAK

- expect the rattling drones of motorized chanters grinding against the unearthly sounds of a Siren -

Morphine Records with a massive loader from Slumberland’s self-made instruments sounds, from the ''to sewing machines and self made organs - all combined with legendary Tuvan throat singer, Sainkho Namtchylak. Lightkeeper was recorded and mixed by Lebanese-Canadian artist , Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Jerusalem In My Heart, Constellation Records), adding his distinct touch to the production of this roller-coaster of sounds. Belgian musician, composer and instrument-maker, Jochem Baelus, has been unleashing his obscure, hypnotic krautrock embellished with distorted exotica upon us as Slumberland since 2013. After creating his signature battery of sewing machines, projectors and dismantled mechanical objects, Baelus immersed himself into the world of 64 year old voice-artist Sainkho Namtchylak and assembled a new sound sculpture inspired by her colour.
