*300 copies limited edition* "Six Crossings" is c_c’s ultimate recording with the electronic setup he has honed for nearly 10 years of live performances: several drum machines and a sampler interconnected to a mixing system and feedback effects, analog and digital hybrid. Between basic writing and improvisation, all the songs were recorded in a single take during the same day, at ZZLand, while he was back from the ZAD of Notre Dame Des Landes, charged with the good vibes of a huge party in support of “Les Soulèvements de la Terre”. The party was the first to be sonorised with the DistoMobile, a homemade sound system inspired by dub sound system, but dedicated to atypical music. 'Knot theory is a fascinating field of mathematics, an already beautiful and interesting everyday object in itself that becomes medium and support of an extremely advanced and complex abstract research. As a layman, the essential escapes me, but the poetic and imaginary potential of the vocabulary forged by the mathematicians of this field seems to me very powerful beyond its primary meaning. Knots in the head, knots in the legs, Six Crossings is also how rhythms and textures intermingle to create autonomous forms with complex structures, which we observe evolve in time organically.
The album is also a humble tribute to the great Jah Shaka, Jamaican-English operator of a legendary sound system, but also producer and singer, who died in April 2023. The obsession for the physical effects of sound, from the quivering of the skin to the frenetic dance, it was partly him who transmitted it to me during his sessions where he guided the audience through a very powerful yet gentle introspective bubble.''
