Description

SANTASEDE is Tiff Lion (electronics, voice, acoustic instruments) and Raymond Dijkstra (acoustic instruments). This first born avant garde outing is an account of the free flow exchange of kundalini energy of Tiff Lion (aka Tying Tiffany) and Raymond Dijkstra (persona non grata of experimental underground) ... The result is a frozen moment in time... Surreal, dreamy, psychedelic, cosmic...

RAYMOND DIJKSTRA has released over 100 music-works in the last 20 years. He is respected for his highly personal experimental music (defying any categorization) mostly released on unusual formats like 3 inch and 5 inch vinyl records. His music is often released together with his own visual art in hand-labored sleeves, in editions ranging between 1-10 original pieces. These highly personal artworks are regarded by some as outsider art. He has collaborated a.o. with Af Ursin and Brian Lewis Saunders.

TIFF LION TIFF LION is known under the name Tying Tiffany as which she has released 4 full CD albums and 14 singles in the last 7 years. She has collaborated a.o. with Pete Namlook and Nic Endo. She's been highly prolific in the composing of soundtracks for film and TV (among which are CSI, and 'The hunger Games' (under the name "TTL" with Lorenzo Montana)). In previous
years she has been touring extensively through Europe, gaining with it a large crowd of devoted fans.

SANTASEDE is the somewhat surprising collaboration of these two talented artists, issuing with this 10" their first and debut release on the Dutch art-music label Le Souffleur. In 2013 their first LP will be released on the German label Dekorder.

The music has an obscure and surreal character hard to categorize. It certainly has filmic qualities, if only as a film of the inner-eye. The music has a psychedelic touch and elements of esotericism by its use of sitar, (primitively played) tabla and highly reverberated string instruments. The reciting of old Italian Alchemistic texts by Tiff Lion links the music further to a dark spirituality. There is a great emphasis on acoustic instrumentation played in a raw manner (among others piano-strings) giving the whole record a very rudimentary character. The use of electronics is done in such a way that its often impossible to divide acoustic and electronic sounds. The electronic instrumentation thus emphasizes the rawness of the acoustic sounds. Highly recommended for lovers of psychedelic music.
