Content
Mai Pen Rai is an edition of two releases in one, or how three random recordings of a travelogue fit together and after a four year journey are finally released.
The first and the third track of the record capture the experience of Maya Lavda in the summer of 2008 during a trip in Bali, where while shooting with her video camera she noticed frog sounds behind a closed door which she followed to record with her camera. Revisited after the trip, these sounds revealed themselves to be fitting for a mantra-like locked groove record.
The second track comes from orila’s journey in Thailand over the summer of 2009. Following an after storm quest for the sound – that a permanent resident jokingly referred to as the sounds produced by water buffaloes – the true origin revealed itself within a scene of majestic nature. In remembrance of this experience, every copy of this release is accompanied by a Thai sky lantern.
As our passion for the frogs was growing both in orila & rekem we decided to unite these findings in the form of a 7″ cut on a 12” platter. This way, these recordings would not only remind us of the actual journey(s), but also the ideas around which a substantial part of our lives evolved through the last four years.
Mai Pen Rai is dedicated to Jurgen De Vos.
