Soft Power

Flutter Intensity (feat. Russell Greenberg)

Deep sounds from way out there. Imagine drifting without a name in the open seas, the water ready to swallow you whole and the sun cooking your coherent thoughts. Somewhere deep inside a peace and oneness with this feeling sets in.

Upon the sea

Alazne is a feminine name meaning miracle or wonder.

Audi Meae - "Alazne" (Alternate Version)

The bigger it gets
The farther away it becomes
What was once a face
Is now just information
The bigger it gets 
The farther away it becomes

They can hurt you if you're far away
[The information is lost]
They can hurt you if you're far away
[The information is lost]

Everything expanding 
In every direction
What was once a place
Has been lost from each other

The bigger it gets  
The farther away it becomes 
What was you and me
Is now just population
The bigger it gets 
The farther away it becomes 
What was once a face 
Is now just information  

They can hurt you if you're far away 
[The information is lost] 
They can hurt you if you're far away 
[The information is lost]  

Everything expanding  
In every direction 
What was once a place 
Has been lost from each other

Alabaster DePlume 
“Peach”
Debt Records
28th Sept 2015

A peach is a sweet and soft and good thing with a stone in the middle, and this is an album about being a person. Smartphones, analogue tape, valve microphones, computers, group games and a grand banquet were used to create this collection of songs, tunes and monologues, that use a series of contradictions to talk about being alive. 

Long-term collaborators John Ellis (piano) and Paddy Steer (percussion, bass, lapsteel, synth) join Angus Fairbairn (vocal, tenor sax) along with eleven other musicians and nearly a hundred other voices in presenting sounds likened to Ethiopian jazz and Japanese folk music. Scripts and vocal delivery evoke Ivor Cutler, Emo Philips and Leonard Cohen, for this combination of theatre, live-captured music, songs, humour and philosophy.

It is a unique collection, made by unusual means designed around the artistry and conveyance of its many contributors. Created over three years in London and Manchester, it’ll be celebrated in those two towns on the dates below, following its vinyl and digital release on Manchester label Debt Records, on 28th September 2015.

A composer, musician and performer, Alabaster DePlume (Angus Fairbairn) has toured northern Europe, appeared on UK national radio and developed theatre for Bram Stoker Festival in Dublin. His many combined arts projects are based around music, and personal inclusion. In this, his third album, he has employed as many voices as he can, in conveying a method of survival he’s been taught, he says, by everyone he’s met.

Hope grows naturally, like a
dandelion between the bricks.
I feel good…
