2nd collaboration Raison D’être & Troum out in late October: ‘XIBIPIIO’
The second part of the collaboration that started in 2013 with the (now deleted) “De Aeris in Sublunaria Influxu” CD now sees the light of day under the title “‘XIBIPIIO'”.
For the new album Raison D’être source material was used, processed and mixed with additional recordings by Troum. You can take that literally as Troum added guitars, voices, flutes,accordion , cello, violin, didgeridoo, dombra, tapes and found sounds.
The release can be ordered right here with digipak artwork with extra silver pantone printing as created by Marcin Łojek. The final mix of the tracks was executed by Troum while the mastering was handled by Peter Andersson.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
