About Me

Limborg group is a blend of superb female voices, trip-hop grooves , melismatic lines with spices and percussions from all over the world...music for dreams, music for escapes, music for inner voyages, music to go and see beyond, music for films, paintings, and ambiences...primitive and futuristic...sensual, sensuous, and sensitive...Limborg started as a drummer in a jazz-rock band. He studied music in such different places as Baratya Kala Kendra in Dehli and Berklee School of Music in Boston. He is a master of sound programming. He is the founder and the major composer of the group, travelling around the world to meet people, and create music with musicians and singers met along the path...6 albums with Tangram records: the mythical and mystical Siorapalouk, Hozro inspired by the Hopi & Navajo philosophy, Kha, Land of Voices, Opus Zen, and Small World... 6 albums with Origins: Les Larmes d’Angkor recorded partly in Phnom Penh with khmer musicians, Zinder, the minimalistic and ambient Feng Shui, Cocoon with the great bengali singer Kakoli Sengupta, Chromotherapie, and the wandering Inspiring Saïgon... 2 albums with Encore Merci: Asian Perfumes with Malherbe’s duduk, Shehan’s percussions, and voices from asian hilltribes, and African Perfumes with the staggering voice of El Hadj N’diaye....Somewhere between Dead Can Dance and Eno, trip-hop and world, ambient and emotronic, Limborg is following his own path of audacious and generous musician. Imaginary language, but also yoruba, bambara, wolof, japanese, khmer, sanskrit, hmong or akha dialects, sometimes subtly mixed within the same track, make the music sounds like an imaginary folklore... Mastery of treatments (Eno’s approach), blend of synthesizers and acoustic instruments (clarinet, whistle, bansuri, soprano sax, hurdy-gurdy, accordion, koto, duduk, kora, ethnic percussions...), and above all, these wonderful female voices representing Europe, Africa and Asia, trying to reach moments of beauty and eternity...
