NAHAL RECORDINGS

NAHAL Recordings is a label created in 2018,  curated by producer Paul Régimbeau (Mondkopf, Extreme Precautions, Autrenoir, FOUDRE!) and  multi-instrumentalist/photographer Frédéric D. Oberland (Oiseaux-Tempête, Le Réveil des Tropiques, FOUDRE!, The Rustle Of The Stars, FareWell Poetry).

As a sister to the electronic label IN PARADISUM, NAHAL takes its name from the mythological labyrinthian diagram. The Malekulans of Vanuatu call the orthodox home of the dead 'Wies', and say a spirit reaches it by traveling to the north, effortlessly crossing the lagoon and before passing through a distorted landscape. There it confronts Temes Savsaq, the female priest who sits before a rock, before her,  a sand-traced diagram called Nahal, 'the Path'. As the spirit approaches, Temes Savaq wipes away half of the lines and tells the traveller that before they proceed  further they must complete the plan correctly. Their success will eventually reveal a map of the path to the new world.
