Unchanged, :, : seemingly untouched, just a guard watching over it- one wondered : :' whether the place would ever see the light of day again. Built ': ,: in the 70s by Scotch, there were only twenty such places in the :, : entire world. Twenty studios, all identical. Most had undergone : :' a digital makeover in the 80s, but not this one - situated in ': ,: LomΘ, this studio had stayed true to its original form. Silent :, : and uninhabited but waiting for one thing, and one thing only: : :' for the sacred fire to be lit once again. That of the Togolese ': ,: Recording Office. Studio OTODI for those in the know. :, : Through thick layers of dust, the console was vibrating still, : :' impatient to be turned on and spurt out the sound so unique to ': ,: analog. That sound is what Peter Solo and his band Vaudou Game :, : came to seek out. The original vibrations of LomΘ's sound, : :' resonating within the studio space, an undercurrent pulsing ': ,: within the walls, the floor, the entire atmosphere. A presence :, : at once electrical and mystical, sourced through the amps that : :' had never really gone cold, despite the deep sleep that they ': ,: had been forced into. In taking over the studio's 3000 square :, : feet, enough to house a full orchestra, Vaudou Game had the : :' space necessary to conjure the spirits of voodoo, those very ': ,: spirits who watch over men and nature, and with whom Peter :, : converses every day. : :' ': ,: For the most authentic of frequencies to fully imbibe this third :, : album, Peter Solo entrusted the rhythmic section to a Togolese : :' bass and drum duo, putting the groove in the expert hands of ': ,: those versed in feeling and a type of musicianship that you :, : can't learn in any school. This was also a way to put OTODI on : :' the path of a more heavily hued funk sound- the backbone of ': ,: which maintains flexibility and agility when moving over to :, : highlife, straightens out when enhanced with frequent guest : :' Roger Damawuzan's James Brown type screams, and softens when ': ,: making the way for soulful strings. Snaking and undulating when :, : a chorus of Togolese women takes over, guiding it towards a : :' slow, hypnotic trance. ': ,: :, : Up until now, Vaudou Game had maintained their connection to : :' Togo from their base in France. This time, recording the entire ': ,: album in LomΘ at OTODI with local musicians, Peter Solo drew the :, : voodoo fluid directly from the source, once again using only : :' Togolese scales to make his guitar sing, his strings acting as ': ,: channels between listeners and deitiesà :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
