maninkari
biography
maninkari is an instrumental duet combining improvisation and original composition, with a hint on ambient, gloomy, minimalist, jazz, rock and surreal sounds. Their music delivers instrumental organic layers made of ancestral, dark and repetitive tunes that blend percussion instruments, viola, cimbalom, keyboards, and samples to reach mysticism at its climax. Their first releases with conspiracy and neuropa records originate from a long series of studio sessions split on three different albums making a whole, without any beginning or end.
The Half Forgotten Relic Of A Dream is a selection of more direct, brighter and refined tracks, sign of a new era for the band.
Rooted in Bathyscaphe, maninkari also wrote the score for two short-movies: 'Des nuages au bout des doigts' from Simone Massi and 'Call baker' from Dan Salzmann. They are now working on the soundtrack of the new short-movie of Thomas Pantalacci 'Phantasmes'.
