Vincent I. Watson - ‘Serene’ - Pyramids of Mars 002
Release Date : 
Genre : Ambient / Classical / Experimental / Electronica


Press Release:

Once in a while, something comes along that really grabs your attention...makes you take notice and after a time you grow to love it. Very rarely does something come along that you can call a Masterpiece.

Lets start at the beginning.

Producer Vince Watson has been releasing very high quality dance music on a consistent basis for a long time. There has been quite a few classics amongst them, but circa late 2012 and ‘Serene’, the artists 8th studio album, presents itself like the opening sequence of a long awaited sci-fi movie.

It is the birth of a new species in this enigmatic versatile producers career, and one which announces the arrival of music for TV and film under his full name, Vincent I. Watson.

And so, to that opening sequence.

After 60 seconds of ‘Hidden Behind The Eyes’, you know your into something special. The emotional deep content that Vince is already acclaimed for is there from the start, but its on a new level of detail. ‘Placid’ smoothes things out nicely before the very powerful ‘Sagitaria’ hits like a wall of unleashed beauty. Stunning...’Re-contact’ then bends things into a new reality with some beautifully crafted dub style efx which bring a level of intensity and energy into the journey towards the next 3 tracks, which are jaw droppingly inspiring. 

Title track ‘Serene’ is one of those tracks you could listen to for days..its such a powerful piece of music. ‘Out of Reach’ bridges the gap before what is the album’s crowning glory, ‘Celtic Beauty’. With its rising Violin’s and high-octane strings, its anthemic chords and synth lines opitimise the high standard of this album perfectly. ‘Continuum’ sets the tone nicely after such a dramatic burst before the remaining 2 tracks take us somewhat darker and deeper into outer space. ‘Abyss’ is not the kind of track you want to listen to on headphones alone..its more like entering a black hole than deep space, spine tingling stuff but worth the ticket alone....then we come to the final track, which is the only track on the album with any reference to a beat. ‘Open Your Eyes’...is the title suggesting its all been a dream?, or a journey during which you didnt want to see reality?

The album then ends with what can only be described as the moment when you wake up first thing in the morning and see for the first time..as the music rises and rises only to disappears in an instant..very cleverly done. Deafened by silence would be a nice metaphor to use.

Many will compare this work to the likes of Steve Reich, Philip Glass or even Hans Zimmer at times, which is no small credentials to gain, but there is also something elegantly modern and unique about the unavoidable journey it takes you on. 

‘Serene’ is not only a highly impressive piece of contemporary electronic music, its also a very important one...as it confirms Watson to be one of the great modern composers/producers in electronic music today.
Not many of his fellow DJ peers on the clubscene today could create something so organic yet so utterly gripping whilst managing to blend Piano’s and deep dark spaces into one powerful yet co-hesive story. 

Many words will be used to describe this album - sometimes there are never enough superlatives, but Masterpiece is rarely so fitting as it is here..because that is exactly what ‘Serene’ is.

It is, in fact...a work of art.

Open Your Eyes - Wake

Mesemondó-oorlab-7feb2013-guitar-violin-percussion
violin, guitars, percussion recorded yesterday on Korg D888, mixed with Cubase SL2 & Audacity. "Mesemondó" means Storytelling in Hungarian. This track came from a rhythmic idea I had in my head, from remembering an old Gheorghe Zamfir track.
The violin was made by my Uncle Peter van der Hoeven.

Serge Seletskyy - Oslo at night

An Industrial Rock Noise track included in Elmer Pastorius second album called "Reset".

Composed by V. Rubén Navarro Medina.

Elmer Pastorius - Sedated

"Good art works not because some theory says it should
but because it is embedded in a web of reference and allusion,
as well as convention - it takes what we know and changes it."
Philip Ball - How Music Works And Why We Can't Do Without It

Keeping our influences in mind we crafted this song in a different fashion to our previous creations.
Hope you enjoy

Hey, there is no easy way out
When there is a hole in your shoe
and a war in your heart.
Can you see the new day,
find a new start,
slow down for a while.
See what could happen next,
round that corner,
take some travelling time.

Travelling time
crossing that line.

Wait, for that train to arrive,
banish that thought
of that meme that has caught you by surprise.
Hey, there is no easy way out
When there is a hole in your shoe
and a war in your heart.
Can you see the new day,
find a new start,
slow down for a while.
See what could happen next,
round that corner,
take some travelling time.

Travelling Time

Come un pezzo di Paul Simon 

Se ti prego spegnerai la luce ti spiegherò un po’ meglio

Meglio di me c’è solo il tempo

Per essere migliore di così.

Le previsioni del tempo:

Si dice ricominci il lunedì!

E pioggia di ammassi stellari e nebulose sui davanzali

Dove ti lasciai 

Andare via un megafono tra i cornicioni un sos

Ti lanciai 

Andare via non sembra essere bello ma a volte è necessario

Da un mare lontano che non ti rappresenta

E sposta il vento a tutte le navi 

So affettare una zucchina

Su un piede solo bendato equilibrista 

Ma che fatica l’equilibrio

Si può essere più fermi di così?

Se cado poi mi arrabbio 

E penso ricomincia il lunedì

E pioggia di radiosegnali e torte di mele al profumo di te 

Andare via il sole nei cortili di altri mondi diverso non è 

Andare via non sembra essere bello ma a volte è necessario

Da un mare lontano che non ti rappresenta

E sposta il vento a tutte le navi 

Ma che fatica l’equilibrio

Si può essere migliore di così?

Se cado poi mi arrabbio 

E penso ricomincia il lunedì.
