Two visionary maestros, Pierre Bastien and Michel Banabila, unite in their first collaborative album, Baba Soirée. The veterans of electronic music bring their unique expertise to the table, resulting in a captivating fusion of experimental styles. Bastien"s mechanical loops and experimental instrumental setups merge seamlessly with Banabila"s sound design and impeccable skills of sampling collages. It"s not a dance party, nor is it an avant-garde intervention. It"s a soirée: a cultivated evening of sonic alchemy hosted by these two charismatic gentlemen. The two share a curiosity for traditional instruments from various cultures. The instruments used in the recordings are shown in the cover artwork. A mutual admiration for each other"s work paved the way for this fruitful artistic partnership of the Rotterdam-based artists: Collaborating on a single as a fundraiser for Yemen in 2022 set the stage for the creation of Baba Soirée.
