Music researcher Laurent Jeanneau captured field recordings of ceremonial gong ensembles in the northeastern Cambodian province of Ratanakiri, located on the border with Laos and Vietnam. This region is the historical home of ethnic minority communities whose traditions and animist beliefs endured decades of disruption—from the French colonial era and civil conflict in the 1960s to the Khmer Rouge regime and subsequent Vietnamese occupation. Despite these historical upheavals, Indigenous communities revived their culture, swidden agriculture, and ritual musical practices during the 1980s and 1990s, though their way of life now faces modern pressure from corporate development and rubber plantations.

The recorded audio features raw performances of ceremonial music played on nipple and flat gongs, bamboo tubes, and drums, accompanied by male and female vocals. These musical performances are intimately tied to local animist rituals and the ceremonial consumption of Tavei, a traditional fermented rice beverage. The release is presented in a limited vinyl edition of 500 copies containing an illustrated insert with detailed liner notes.
