“Le Renard Bleu<\/strong>“, the new musical and cinematic collaboration between Lafawndah<\/strong> and composer Midori Takada<\/strong>, and filmmakers Partel Oliva, takes a cross- generational echo as ground zero for recovering a crucial myth for uncertain times: the blue fox.<\/p>\n

The music of “Renard Bleu<\/strong>” originated in Takada<\/strong>‘s preoccupation with the legend of the fox; after constructing a vivid instrumental composition dramatizing the spirit animal’s journeys through waterphone, bells, marimba and various forms of drums, Lafawndah<\/strong> responded \u2013 in her inimitable mix of fairytale and undertow– with melodies and lyrics capturing a dialogue between her and the fox himself. Eventually, the duo met in Tokyo for a week of communing with the material at Avaco Creative Studios, where new elements were composed on site.<\/p>\n

“Renard Bleu<\/strong>” marks the first new music released by Takada<\/strong> in nearly twenty years; it would be difficult to overstate the importance of her return to the public eye. Her first solo record, 1983’s “Through the Looking Glass<\/strong>“, has been rediscovered and heralded as a lost classic.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it is Lafawndah<\/strong>\u2019s freedom of tone, decentralized maps of ancient and modern music cultures, and alloying of devotional intensity with modern songcraft casts her as a distinct relative of Midori Takada<\/strong>\u2019s. Over the course of two EPs, self- directed music videos, and countless live performances, Lafawndah<\/strong> has drawn out an uncompromising exploration of how theater, situational intervention, and choreography can amplify the affective palate of forward pop music.<\/span><\/p>\n
