A rhythmic album, which gently grooves:
A wave of Good Mood, like a big round of celebration
Which brings together instruments from all over the world!
A bubbling of desires, in the joy of sharing,
to have fun, to gather...
This rather "funky" album was born from the somewhat crazy gamble of "making funk with tablas": because Matthew loves funk and Indian music just as much!
On “FUN KEY” he has managed to mix styles and instruments that do not usually meet:
He thus composed his first pieces with funky tablas (“Funky Chaï”, “Funky Sari”: with the sarod as a bonus!), mixed piano notes with darbouka and djembe (“Take it easy”, “Fun Circle”) … sitar and a Latin guitar (“Darjeeling”) … the “ghatam” (percussion pottery) with an organ, a nervous bass and congas (“Organic Combaz”) etc. !
Self-taught multi-instrumentalist, Matthieu Mayer wanted to "round off" the rhythm
"square" bass-drums by adding the warmth and the grains of "sweet madness" of his vocals
or his acoustic instruments … which bring a “happy recreation*” atmosphere to several tracks (like “Nanah Mint” or “Fun Circle”)!
…
*(That of a man who "re-created" himself by listening to his child's heart!)
"FUN KEY" is an album that spreads a good atmosphere!
