Anchored around the Studio 110, a\u003cbr\u003emassive analog modular synthesizer, the album fuses ancestral\u003cbr\u003eEthiopian musical modes with cosmic, futuristic textures,\u003cbr\u003eproducing a raw, spiritual sound that is at once ancient and\u003cbr\u003eotherworldly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe concept had been simmering in Kibrom's imagination for years: an entirely synth-driven Ethiopian record - a rarity in the genre. After the success of Here and There, Kibrom shared the idea with Kamal de Iruretagoyena Humphrey, founder of Flying Carpet Records. The response was immediate and emphatic: full support, open studio access, and the gear to bring the vision to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the course of two years, Birhane experimented and composed using the Analog modular synth as both an instrument and a sound design tool. The result is Lisane Bahir - a genre-defying body of work tracked in a focused, month-long session at Flying Carpet Studios, recorded entirely analog with no digital instruments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album is further elevated by the powerful voice of Esy Tadesse, whose commanding presence brings warmth and emotional weight to the soundscape.This collaboration roots the project in the human and the ancestral, balancing the mechanical textures of the synth with soul and story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLisane Bahir is more than an album - it's a sonic manifesto, a bold exploration of identity, technology, and tradition. Flying Carpet Records is proud to present this forward-thinking new chapter in the evolution of Ethiopian music. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"kingslandrecords","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60194135212366,"sku":"5050580857827","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1058\/3474\/2094\/files\/e1ea5f_5f7082c63a52448fb2832e4999cfe0f8_mv2.jpg?v=1784734436","url":"https:\/\/www.kingslandrecords.com\/products\/kibrom-birhane-lisane-bahir","provider":"Kingsland Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
