Rime Trails - The Slow Sunset Of Things

Here and now, once again, I am talking about my very own music, on my very own platform. It’s a bit difficult to do that, I’ll admit. I don’t want to come off as overly zealous, stuffing my output through a “campaign machine”. But then I think of all the artists who run their own labels [many of you on here, yes?], and who are going through the same slight dilemma of writing a press release, outlining their bio in the third person. So no bio on here – I think that you know who I am [at least through my words]. Instead, I will tell you a little about this title track, which is taken from my upcoming album, When You Are, due out on July 1st via the amazing Slowcraft Records. Having explored the concepts of time through my music on my last release, Out of Time (Injazero, 2021), I wanted to move on past that dimension. And whereby I previously questioned the possibility of departing time and existing without it, in “When You Are” I am abandoning time altogether, on a journey outside of this predicament, measured in an irreversible sequence of events. This may be a frightening proposition, sometimes glimpsed by an experienced meditator. In this timeless passage, I explore the possibilities of being outside being, and in the absence of elsewhere finding ourselves, whenever we are. I’m obviously very excited about this one, folks, and I hope that you enjoy it. Feel free to reach out and tell me what you think!

"Thunderous bass, billows of diffused distortion and precisely calibrated discord drive waves of raw emotion through pieces that smoothly pivot, often within moments, into calm glimpses of such sublime, timeless clarity as are only rarely afforded to the experienced meditator."

This single is out today, on all of your favourite digital platforms. It is taken from my upcoming full-length album, When You Are out on July 1st via Slowcraft. Pre-order on Bandcamp.

When You Are

TRACK PREMIERE : Mike Lazarev - When You Are

From the album "Ver Sacrum"
“Throughout history, this expression has been used to describe various ritual group expulsions and the deduction of colonies, particularly with regard to people getting back to nature.
For example, the Italian town of Nocera was founded in the 7th Century BC by inhabitants from Camerinum, who left their ancestral homeland during a so-called Ver Sacrum.
In ancient Rome, during times of calamities such as pandemics, earthquakes, wars, or plagues, they used to devote children born in spring – from the 1st of March to the 30th of April – to the gods Jupiter and Mars. Then, when they turned 20 or 21, these children were required to leave the community to begin new settlements”
________________________________________
Sounding like some long lost, sacred canon, Ver Sacrum – the new album from Bruno Sanfilippo – marks something of a departure for the Barcelona-based pianist and composer. Far more orchestral in nature, there’s a spiritual, quasi-religious force to these pieces; strings swoop and soar, maudlin organs plough slowly, sorrowfully forward, while several sopranos add to the ecclesiastical air. But there’s hope and joy here too, and a childlike playfulness – playing these tensions against each other is what makes Ver Sacrum such an intense, rewarding listen. Inspired and informed by the ancient custom of ritualised expulsions of the same name, one can find the whole spectrum of humanity within these nine pieces: sorrow, loss, love, rebirth, change, hope, and the indefatigable human spirit. It’s what gives this music its power. Derek Robertson, journalist and music writer: Guardian, Independent, NME, VICE, Timeout, The Quietus, The Face.

Powlos & Andrea Crociani - Benthos

Letra Rec a new label formed by Andrew Hargreaves and Craig Tattersall (of The Boats), to give artists space to create music for closer listening. The longer uninterrupted playing time of the CD format allows the listener to fully immerse themselves in the music. Each release will be limited to 250 copies.

“Music has always been a place of refuge for me. My first memory of an epiphany is of realising that I could contribute to this transformative sanctuary in my own way.

Una happened in less than a year. It’s a collection of playful and meditative situations, improvised with friends and lovers, mostly recorded in my home studio in Reykjavík with very little production but all the more heart and raw soul through space echo and tape loop orchestras.”
