VA - Collection Petites Planetes - Sonidos del Peru (Transicion) (2013)

All the music published here was recorded by filmmaker/sound explorer Vincent Moon during one of his numerous trips across the globe. From trance rituals in the suburbs of Hanoi to shamanist ceremonies in the heart of the Amazon, from experimental noise in Singapore to sufi rituals in Chechnya, a sonic and poetic survey of the world today.

But, who is Vincent Moon?
Vincent Moon (real name Mathieu Saura, born August 25, 1979)[1] is an independent filmmaker from Paris. He was the main director of the Blogotheque's Take Away Shows, a web-based project recording field work music videos of indie rock related musicians as well as some notable mainstream artists like Tom Jones, R.E.M., or Arcade Fire. For the past five years, Vincent Moon has been traveling around the globe with a camera in his backpack, documenting local folklores, sacred music and religious rituals, for his label Collection Petites Planètes. He works alone or with people he finds on the road, and most of the time without money involved in the projects, trying to produce and distribute films without following the established industry standards. He shares all his work, films and music recordings, for free on internet, under Creative Commons license.
