about

"Remarkable !" Steve Barker - The Wire Magazine

"Every single one of the pieces is a striking example of transformational wizardry, going beyond mere deconstruction to create something deeply lysergic that is light years away from the raw material that it was birthed from. Moreover, Franck is consistently inventive in his alchemy, studiously avoiding the temptation to repeat the same tricks or head in a direction that has already been explored: each piece is treated like a completely unique foundation for a new vision to organically grow from. It perversely reminds me of the hackneyed joke about Michelangelo sculpting David ("Oh, it was easy–all I did was chip away everything that didn't look like David.”). Though it is intended as humor, there is a weirdly viable thought process at the heart if it and it feels like Franck exploited it here: I am sure making Just Like A River was not easy at all, but it does seem like he isolated pieces and fragments that fascinated him and allowed their individual traits to guide their ultimate journey to a significant degree. As far as music as entertainment is concerned, that strategy does not always lead to an optimal place, but it certainly proves to be fertile ground for challenging and occasionally revelatory sound art in the case of Just Like A River." Anthony D'Amico - Brainwashed

Yannick Franck (Orphan Swords, RAUM) presents Mt Gemini.

Part of the 10 records of the year in the dub section of the Wire Magazine in 2019, MT Gemini is a project based on Ska, Rocksteady and Skinhead Reggae. It is rather a passionate deconstruction of a genre than compositions or remixes per se. An incantatory tribute that favours abstraction using loops, distortion, compression, variations of speed and height, and effects (delay, reverb, chorus). Recorded in different states of altered consciousness, MT Gemini is built of spontaneous and unexpected combinations. It is an attempt to generate inner spaces where the borders between reverie and reality blur.

An hallucinatory shock, a journey made of
distant echoes, an atmosphere imbued with joy and nostalgia.
