Filipe Felizardo / Yann Gourdon – La Langue de l’Ophiolite – LP

This configuration of a duo composed by Yann Gourdon (vielle à roue, or hurdy-gurdy) and Filipe Felizardo (guitar&amp) is the result of a mutual invitation which occurred already seven years ago.
In January of 2020, thanks to Trás-os-Montes Records, both musicians had the chance to finally meet and play almost without interruption for three days, proving to one another that their intuitions and hearts were in place – always converging the density of the timbric and poetic languages of both their very idiosyncratic instrumentation into a point of all returns.

From here, with the drones that come from a committed study of duration, harmonic thermodynamics – when they play it is like a microtonal maelstrom -, and the delicious mistakes that come from stubborn endurance and repetition, they propose an immanent move to where one can look and hear as if becoming the top of a hill, with a 360º sight and audition, where the blind spots of the optic or sonic nerves are the serpentine vector of ecstatic truth both musicians seek to establish with the audience.
