Psychedelic utopia was an experimental guerrilla that took in everything from sex through politics, music, art, comic strips and the alternative press to animation. When the hippies said, "We all want to change the world," music was just one of the means to their end. But the 1980s put the screws on, mainstream became the main man and the golden boys were born. In this charged atmosphere and its natural extension in the 2000s, it is now frowned upon to hop off the matrix, to take a different view. In a highly informed society that quickly subdues protest movements, you can no longer hope to gain approval for another lifestyle, a marginal way of thinking. Or can you?
Turning their backs on the dictates of the industrial world and the illusion of cushy consumerism, musicians from all four corners of the globe have pitched up in Arambol. This village in the north of Goa is spearheading a psychedelic revival in the Indian province.
Chris, executive producer (Scorpion, Street Fighters, Atoll, etc.), Marie BORSCH, director and singer (ex YASSASSIN) and Dume (OTISTO23) engineer-programmer went to capture the atmosphere of this hotbed of musical creation. They set up a local studio with Fabrizio, guitarist and long-time resident of Goa. Over a three-year period, they invited local musicians (Western and otherwise) to create a collective work combining different influences: psychedelic, pop, trance, breakbeat, acoustic ballads, Indian, you name it ...
Okay, so the musicians on the tracklisting are unknowns: so what? And made on a shoestring, filmed with a video camera traded in against a piano, the documentary that tells the tale of the recording saga contains some clunky and clichéd editing. These are obviously no experienced filmmakers ... and? Well, it's precisely its shortcomings that bring out the plus points of this "experience". It may be rough and ready, but there's some cracking teamwork. Because what hits you about Arambol Experience is the sheer inspiration behind it all.
