Phantom just turned a year old, roughly. The Swedish duo of formally trained jazz
singer/songwriter Hanna Toivonen and producer Tommi Koskinen pull
off a phenomenal feat here, sampling one of the most famous pieces
of music ever created. The French composer Erik Satie's 'Gymnopedie No.1'.
Tommi Koskinen does a great job making the beat his own, touching
the sample up with some distorted strings and distant synths while
Hanna Toivonen deals with romantic rejection via her jazz vocal stylings,
that have a touch of sass.
that have a touch of sass.
When the sample drops in a recognizable chunk, it is familiar yet still
jaw droppingly beautiful.
The video is as pretty and as ethereal
as the tune.
Lovely.
