Ko Shin Moon - L'Oreille Percée

"Imparable"

 Ko Shin Moon is a project led by Niko Shin and Axel Moon, born at a crossroads between traditional strings and electronic music machines. From their studio in Paris, Ko Shin Moon create otherworldly, hybrid melodies where psychedelia meets space disco. Through stylistic experimentation, the band outlines a universe of contrasts. Their credo: eclecticism, cosmopolitanism and hybridity.Released in 2017, their first, eponymous album was composed as an attempt to both confront and research traditional melodies, by mixing instrumental recordings and samples. In this musical journey, repertoires, genres and times blend and form a new language.

On their third LP ‘Leïla Nova’ released on Akuphone records in 2020, the band set aside sampling and aimed to reassert themselves as a live duo. The album’s ten tracks serve as a reminder that contemporaneity is more than ever a free exploration of musical territories, and an alternative to Western cultural hegemony. Ko Shin Moon puts forth the concept of “outernational” music, challenging listening practices as well as an out-dated idea of world music.

On stage, Ko Shin Moon’s fiery music pieces unfold to create an immersive listening and dancing experience.

Ko Shin Moon is currently recording their fifth album.
