Marzipan

Charif Megarbane, the staggeringly prolific producer, instrumentalist, and all-around musical mastermind returns with full LP "Marzipan." Following his previous release of EP "Tayara Warak" in 2022, "Marzipan" is a sonic journey that seeks to capture the full scope of Megarbane's habitus. As a composer and producer, Megarbane touts hugely versatile, sometimes volatile musicianship - his 100+ catalogue of projects (including legendary groups like the Cosmic Analog Ensemble, Free Association Syndicate, Monumental Detail, etc.) features a huge domain of sonic direction. This collection was previously developed in Megarbane's own Hisstology label which hosts a wealth of collaborative efforts. Now, Habibi Funk represents Megarbane under his own name. Megarbane finds a sonic through-line in his surrounding soundscapes as he draws on the chaotic energy of the crowded Beirut metropolis ("Souk El Ahad"), the warm atmosphere of the Lebanese countryside ("Chez Mounir"), or the lushness of a Mediterranean beach resort ("Portemilio"). Reflecting the aural composition of his direct surroundings into kaleidoscopic instrumentation provides a unique insight into how one musical phenomenon transposes sight into sound. Habibi Funk is thrilled to share "Marzipan" and finally throttle this under-theradar phenomenon into the solo spotlight. Despite the entire record being a sincere testament to Megarbane's environmental approach to music-making, the record is not bound to any particular coordinates, or any particular sound for that matter. The vastness of his influences - beloved artists like Ahmed Malek and Issam Hajali (both Habibi Funk veterans); West African funk deep cuts; European cinematic scores; et al - result in a record of somewhat unparalleled expansiveness. Floating melodies and frantic rhythmic interludes both find natural homes across "Marzipan." The record is tinged with psychedelic elements-fuzz-drenched guitar, sliding microtonal interludes, hypnotic rhythmic breakdowns.
