Len Leise – Lingua Franca – LP

International Feel Recordings

This album is all about travel and progression. Both from one place to the next and an emotional migration. An imaginary journey based on real experiences – though as with his name – what is real and what is not doesn’t matter. Morocco appears in the deep ride of “Forlorn Fields”, Spain in “Leaving Llucmajor” and Russia in “Route To Reutov”. Ever on the move trade language is necessary – a “Lingua Franca”. India finds its way here via the chimes of “Madala Maksim”, Brazil in the afro disco sound of “O Camino”and Africa in the slow thoughtful pace of “El Modelo”.

This music is built around emotion, times and spaces. Sometimes a visual brings the music to life, sometimes a thought or feeling. Its music to keep and get lost in. A spiritual ride across the worlds paths and percussions. These sounds are true to Len Leise and he is on a solo path in making music like this currently.
