Album Description

��Chants�� is Al-ji??'s fifth album and represents a new aesthetic evolution of the band. It was composed and produced during the pandemic, with the musicians individually recording their parts. The music started with six little themes composed on an electric piano, which served as a harmonic basis for the improvisations. These improvisations were edited and manipulated, with the mixing and post-production playing a fundamental role on the record. Keeping the Mediterranean-inspired melodies as a brand, in 'Chants' these were mixed in a universe influenced by Miles Davis' electric period (in 'Route'), by Dub (in 'Zadar') or more ambient electronics ( in 'Lost Signal'). This record represents a new direction for Al-Ji??, using the melodic side as a starting point for more electronic and contemporary universes.
