Inside/Euphoria w/ Prins Emanuel - Musée D'ethnographie De Genève Special by Prins Emanuel

In December 2021, I was invited to Extra Muros - a residency organized by the great Flee Project label and the MEG - Musée d'ethnographie de Genève and their ethnomusicology department.

The first week was dedicated to research and me and the other residency attendees got the absolutely wonderful opportunity to dwell into the museum archive - one of the biggest collections of music in the world.

There, I got the chance to submerge myself into music from places like Romania, Occitania, Scandinavia, France, Georgia, the Swiss Alps, Albania, Anatolia, Palestine, and further away places such as Nuristan, Laos, Cambodia and Indonesia, just to name a few. I listened through music for theaters, field recordings, ritual and liturgical music, choirs, lullabies and herder’s songs, played on folk and traditional instruments such as bag pipes, cattle horns, jaw harps, leaves(!) and various string instruments. It was an absolutely life changing experience for many reasons. This mix is my ambition to try and encapsulate that week.
I hope you enjoy these fantastic recordings as much as I do!
