TENGGER - SEGYE (2019)
Release: 22 February 2019
In
’05, itta (voice, Indian harmonium, toys) and Marqido (analogue synths)
began a new, shifting musical life as 10 in Seoul, South Korea. To mark
the massive March ’11 earthquake in Japan, 10 took a step in their
evolution by becoming (((10))). The ground moved in a much different way
when son RAAI arrived in ’12. Not missing a beat, or a good sign,
(((10))) expanded to become Tengger. itta and Marqido, now with RAAI,
incorporated all the adventures their self-described traveller family
might have into their immediate lives and the sounds being being
generated as Tengger. Touring the US, Asia and Europe, Tengger
assimilate audience reaction and the myriad experiences of exploring and
turn those elements into pillars of their sound, raw material for both
foundation and take-off. It’s no surprise, and absolutely fitting, that
‘Segye’ (세계)–Korean for world–encompasses the mind, time and space.
‘Segye’
began taking shape in ’16 at Slow Slow Quick Quick (Seoul) during the
demonstrations against President Geun-hye Park. Then, during the candle
demonstration, artist Beck Jeajung made his voice heard and seen.
Tengger, picking up on the synchronization, asked Jeajung to bring his
art to the album taking shape. This environment, this bigger picture of
family and community—this ‘Segye’—feeds the album as much as Tengger's
own inner circle and outbound adventures. Their lush electro/drone psych
may be the product of knobs, wires and electricity, but it's made from
the experiences that only the real world can provide, both immediate and
distant. These inner and outer dynamics, often at odds with each
other, fuse to give the pulsing of ‘Segye’ a subtle luxuriance that
celebrates the humanity inherent in their music. itta's voice melds and
dances with the sonic patterns and processes, to continually layer, move
and build on each other to not only lift the listener upwards, but to
take them to places to take off again; destination to be determined.
Originally released on Cassette via Gurugur Brain we are very pleased to present this newly mastered edition on vinyl.
