The X-Fade project is aimed at fusing music from disappearing cultures with electronic sounds of our new culture.
This way The Recombinant Natural Assimilators tried to open a window to the emotions and expressions of these people, living their lives according to their age old traditions.

The original recordings were sourced from a series of television documentaries called “Disappearing Worlds”, which ran on Granada Television in the United Kingdom.

From Saydisc Records:

Endangered music from remote cultures from the Granada Television series, Produced in conjunction with Granada Television and The British Library National Sound Archive.
