Jaz Coleman/Ondrej Smeykal
Black & Red announce debut single/vinyl/video

‘On The Day The Earth Went Mad.’

Jaz Coleman proudly announces his new project Black & Red, a collaboration with Ondrej Smeykal. On Friday 26th June 2020 Black & Red release their debut single ‘On The Day The Earth Went Mad’ across all digital platforms and as a limited edition numbered red vinyl 10” via Cadiz Music. 

“The Black and Red project was born in Australia in 2010 when I set out to find the greatest virtuoso of the didgeridoo only to find the maestro of the instrument resided in Prague where I lived. Upon my return to the Czech Republic, I was introduced to Ondrej Smeykal. We ended up not just developing an ancient instrument but recording the Black and Red project (adding only Indian Harmonium) and an explosive duo was formed which could recreate the recording live perfectly. The funny thing is Black and Red only made sense after lockdown” explains the prophetic Jaz Coleman.

Jaz Coleman began this project with a single challenge, “to create and develop a new therapeutic musical system whose primary function was healing. The project was called the Dodecahedron as a dual tribute to the Russian scientists Morasov and Makarow who began to examine the globe to see if any pattern should emerge linking significant places in history…” To read Jaz Coleman’s explanation in full download here.

To my dearest Geordie…

For days I have been staring at the blank paper in front of me unable to write anything. How does one begin to convey this immeasurable sadness within? Or reduce the last 45 years into a few paragraphs?
