about

Salvador Francesch, the man behind Tibetan Red, passed away in March of this year. I don't know the cause, but what I do know is that he had lost his wife several months earlier and was inconsolable ; his last album "Transition" was dedicated to her.
It's a terrible loss. Those of you who are familiar with this net-label may have understood that Tibetan Red is one of my favorite musical artists. Like many other people, I discovered him on the first compilation LP released in Canada by Freedom in a Vacuum in 1987 and with his fantastic debut cassette released by the same label. Extremely discreet and underrated, he produced 8 albums between 1985 and 2021. The most recent ones were very little distributed : released by Salvador himself, he was not trying to sell them.
The best I can do to celebrate his memory and his work is to share some of the albums that were not yet available here (he had authorized me to re-release any of his albums).
I start with Fouta Djalon (2006). On June 4th 2013, Salvador wrote me about it : "The CD Fouta Djalon is particularly interesting to me as it was a sort of exorcism after I contracted malaria in Guinea/Konakri and passed away twice in the hospital I was two months in coma, and took me two years to recover. That was also the time I visited Ivory Coast."

Recorded at the Gompa in 2003
Mastered by Antonio Corbetta
Postmastering by Albert Guitart at Alb Estudi
Explored by Tibetan Red

Special thank you to Antonio Corbetta and Victor Nubla

"My interest in working with Ethnic music and sounds is rooted in its essential role in the formation of Collective Consciousness. As First Peoples, Ethnic groups have the capacity to contact parallel worlds to which we have little or no access at all. Some of these groups hold the link that allows them to penetrate spheres of experience that I am interested to explore. Their transcendental connections in its various degrees, characterize the magnitude of their collective effort in the long evolutionary process. It is within this context that their sounds and music convey thought formations that go beyond any other hand made considerations."
- Salvador Francesch

Dedicated to Angels Tebe and the Plasmodium Falciparum.

Endogeny

Rather than describe what this sounds like (a futile task), I will describe how it makes me feel. First it is much like white noise, blocking the world around me. It's just me and whatever I happen to be giving my attention to with no distractions or external worries. Then it is energizing and uplifting. I have more focus and energy. These soundscapes get me in the zone to help me concentrate on whatever I'm doing, whether it be washing dishes or scrolling Facebook. And it sounds damn cool too. dharmalogos
