Fleuves de l'Âme

Phantasy are proud to introduce the first reverberations of a new project from Tunisian multi-instrumentalist Houeida Hedfi, out now. Produced with Olof Dreijer of The Knife.
Available to stream, download or purchase on CD or 12" vinyl now. Also available on limited-edition double blue vinyl from DINKED, including an accompanying artwork print, signed and hand-numbered by Houeida Hedfi.
Originally a percussionist, Hedfi first met Dreijer when he visited Tunisia and produced her contribution to a 2011 compilation of female Tunisian artists. This kindled a nine-year collaboration which culminates in 'Fleuves de l'Âme', an elegant marriage of traditional folk music and contemporary sound design drawing references from Hedfi’s drumming expertise and the textures of Tunisian music alongside a startlingly broad array of global genres.
Each track is named for a different river, referencing both the safety found in the sound of water and the sinuous drama of each composition, which often starts peacefully, before evolving to encompass drama and tension, conflict and resolution.
