Editor's info:
'Snöleoparden' - the snowleopard is a rare and threatened animal, native to the harsh and remote areas of the mountain ranges of central Asia. There are several reasons why multi-instrumentalist Jonas Stampe has chosen this particular animal as his alter-ego, just like the snowleopard, Stampe has roots in Asia, more precisely in Pakistan, and the lithe physique of the snowleopard can also be compared to Stampe´s almost gymnastic ability to switch smoothly between different musical genres.Bearing in mind the sound of bands like Gang Gang Dance, early Animal Collective and Kemialliset Ystävät, it´s tempting to file Snöleopardens sound under the "psych folk" -umbrella, but it just wouldn´t be fair to the music.Apart from being mainly instrumental (unlike the above mentioned artists), Snöleoparden´sselftitlted album comprises such different elements as Steve Reich-like minimalism ('Xylofon' & 'Lillecykel '), Pakistani folk songs ('Dreng'), childrens pop songs ('Hodja Fra Pjort' & 'Grieg'), ritual/ceremonial music ('Trance' & 'Snabel E'), electronica ('Den Evige') & psychedelic rock ('Water Puppet Theatre'). Elements of world music also has a strong influence on Snöleoparden´s music, but to simply label it world music, wouldn´t do it justice either. What unites the tracks is the fact that they´re created in a state of childish ingenuousness, musical curiosity, and with eminent instrumental skills rarely heard like this. During recordings as well as live sets Snöleoparden uses mostly homemade instruments, reel-to-reel tape recorders and guitar pedals to create his music.The hypnotic rhythms are all hand-played and only in one case ('Trance') based on a loop, done the old fashioned way of course, using a reel to reel tape.
Most tracks have small stories to accompany them. Like the track 'Dreng' which were done with a 6-year old busking boy from the town of Sadikeabad in Pakistan on vocals. Or the charming rendition of Danish composer Sebastian's 'Hodja Fra Pjort', where the voices were recorded in a kindergarden and the instruments in the music room of a public school, using only the available instruments. SNÖLEOPARDEN BIOGRAPHY: A strong fascination for world music has led Jonas Stampe to travel a lot, especially in India, Pakistan and Morocco. In '98 he spend one year in India as a sitar-student under Ravi Shankar, and in '99 he was a part of Ravi Shankars live-group on a tour in the UK. Since 2000 Jonas Stampe has played guitar in the Danish indietronica band Mofus, guitar and sitar with cyber-jazz band Badun, and worked as a session musician (mainly on sitar) on several records with different artists including Barun Kumar Pal, The Broken Beats,
Puddu Varano, Grassskirt, Antophones, Glen Scott, Vektormusik and Karsten Pflum
