Extracontinent [LP]

My Jazzy Child - Extracontinent [LP]

The ''extracontinent'' that Damien Mingus invites listeners to visit on this new album from his My Jazzy Child project is by no means an imagined or imaginary space. It's the palpable space forged by the musician's 25 years of activity, where popular and traditional music, free music and learned traditions collide. And don't confuse the ∅ (empty set) with the O (island in Finnish) used in the title of this album and some of the tracks -- it's insularity that's being asserted here. An island-continent made up of sonic archipelagos where electronic collages and improvisations are rooted in pop exoterism. Where Inneisme (AKU 1028LP, 2021), his previous album, questioned the construction of language, Extracontinent this time summons esoteric discourse to better circumscribe it.
