An exciting, fresh approach to bringing percussion to the fore in music, Couack Attack dares to put drums at the center of it sound, with a variety of musical styles accompanying the core percussion-based drive of this DVD’s mind-altering segments.
Some tracks are entirely percussive, with Alex Hadefi providing the groove sometimes via drum set, sometimes via more non-traditional, improvised “instruments†(such as boats!). Accompanying the dominating rhythm on other tracks are quirky melodies, including stark, moody electronica, bizarre math rock and even video-game style midi music
Besides the tunes there is the underground-style, DIY footage (these are videos, after all), shot in a variety of settings. Hadefi brings to bear his formidable percussion talent in multiple scenes and scenarios – from fields to lakes, from a tiny room just big enough for man and drums to minimalist surrealism with animal-masked band members jamming away.
Couack Attack represents a new paradigm in music. Defying genre and blazing his own trail, Alex Hadefi’s drum-centric, experimental-but-accessible vision sparks into counterculture life.KRISTOPHER UPJOHNThe Digital Release of the Alexis Hadefi drums dvd "COUACK ATTACK" is Out Now !
