Echo Chamber by Gino Sitson

“I come from a family of musicians. I come from the Ntontah lineage, wind instrument players. And also of a princely lineage, in Bazou in the Ndé, department of West Cameroon. My mother is a church singer; my father played the flute and read music. My parents listened to blues, jazz, traditional music, Gregorian chants… I became interested in the voice very early on. I grew up in an environment where people read a lot; my father was even a Latinist. It might seem to have nothing to do with musical art, but I have always considered literature, which I was fond of, as music. I often talk about the music of words. And I wonder: how does a book sound? How do words dance? I am interested in any form of musical aesthetics. My experiences with different musicians and musicology researchers have shaped my perception of music. My works reflect my plural roots, my nomadic roots. I decline a part of my identity. I tell what I am experiencing, what I see and how I experience music. My music is the expression of a free spirit.“
