Виниловая пластинка Golem Mecanique – Siamo Tutti in Pericolo (Релиз 2025)

Siamo tutti in pericolo » is the third release by the French artist Golem Mecanique on Ideologic Organ. Golem Mecanique is the artist name of Karen Jebane, a conceptual singer who also utilises a very special French instrument known as the BAB, a kind of mechanised vielle (hurdy-gurdy)... one of the more incredible inventions of the La Nòvia group's legendary instrument builder Léo Maurel. With « Siamo tutti in pericolo » Karen moves into a zone of difference. No long drone track but several songs in Italian with a minimalist drone box. Some lamento, canto, traditional patterns, composed about the last day and night of Pier Paolo Pasolini. A music sacred and gothic, an arcane and moving tribute to a literary master. « Siamo tutti in pericolo » (we are all in danger) are words from Pier Paolo Pasolini. They were the last words in the last interview he gave. And then, we do not know what happened till his murder on an Italian beach. Pasolini is someone who has awaken me to many things and his movies are usual companions of my days. I remembered having seen Accatone and Teorema when I was 14 years old and I guess I felt in love. I then discovered the silent violence, the erotism, the desire, the raw aesthetism, the ancient myth and the wrath. « Siamo tutti in pericolo ». We do not know what happened when he left the place he gave the interview in. No clue, no witness till the discovering of his severed body few days after. « Siamo tutti in pericolo ». I tried to be the eyes that saw in the dark, the voice that tells what his last day and night were, the ghost that summons the memory. I have composed songs as if they were traditional ones, using repetitive patterns as they could be in traditional rythms, like tarantella. The drone is minimalist and I tried to give the drone box the sound of a traditional hurdy gurdy (even if it is a kind of a hurdy gurdy). Siamo tutti in pericolo. I guess Maria Callas and Scott Walker are haunting this album too. I just wanted that his body does not lay alone on that cold beach. - Karen Jebane / Golem Mecanique Voice, electric processed hurdy gurdy and zither by Golem Mecanique Composed, performed and mixed by Golem Mecanique between november 2023 and may 2024.
