Zero Grace

TrackFor the last 10 years I’ve been releasing this project exploring music that evokes spirituality and a connection to nature. Spiritual music that isn’t necessarily religious in nature and also has a wide musical lens, beyond spiritual jazz for example.

Spring in my hometown of Montreal always arrives at least 4 weeks later than almost anywhere in the world. And because of our long grueling winters, when springtime arrives in the city you can feel the effect on everyone’s collective mood. There’s a certain indescribable electricity in the air.

This project is dedicated to my mom.
Dedicated to all of us who have survived the storms.

"𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘈𝘯 𝘖𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢, the first single from my upcoming album 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 is out today on all platforms via Leaving. You can listen to the single and pre-order the album via arushijain.bandcamp.com / leavingrecords.com

As you listen to the first track, I encourage you to picture yourself as the conductor of an extraordinary orchestra, where pink ink and weighted paper, fine needles and shiny brocade, buckets of water and oceans of buckets, hula hoops, and pom-poms all harmonize in composition. Now, picture yourself in an audience. Can you feel your body naturally attuning itself to the rustling of leaves in the wind, the gentle undulations of grass throughout the day, and the melodies of the birds residing in your backyard. You are the spectator to an orchestra of deer shaped clouds, of flora in a forest reflected on a lake surrounded by wheat, of bellows of air that coolly blow through your hair on a hot summer day. Whether you are the conductor, the musician, or the audience — imagine an orchestra 🍃 🎷 🦩 💦 🧶

𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 has been in the making since fall of 2022, so it feels special to begin sharing my inner world vision with all of you today. More on the album soon, it releases on March 29. I hope you enjoy listening to the first single ✨"

Inside The Light World: Sun Ra Meets The OVC

Sunset On The Nile (OVC Session)

Love In Outer Space (Piano Interlude) (OVC Session)

Aerials live, dials tuned, Transmission Towers broadcasting. On either side of the river Mersey, transcendental communications are traded back and forth. Two late-night revellers, one firing messages filled with music, the other returning them laced with lyrics. The result, a dopamine hit of oddball machine soul, melded with a highlife, Afrofuturist touch. Wonky and murky yet deeply emotional, Transmission One, is a debut album that also marks the first release on Luke Una’s É Soul Cultura label, encompassing expertly the off-kilter atmosphere the label sets to orbit. 

A synthesised landscape with a Northern charm, Transmission Towers marry the musical worlds of two artists that last collaborated over a decade ago. 10 years have passed, lives have been led, but a gravitational pull has placed Mark Kyriacou and Eleanor Mante back in each other’s spheres on opposite sides of the city of Liverpool. Energised with a newfound desire to strip it all back to the sounds that influenced their formative years in the late ‘80s and ‘90s - astral travelling, intoxicated on Motor City techno, Black Dog IDM and mystical Sun Ra. 
 
Mark half Irish, half Greek Cypriot, Eleanor half Nigerian, half Ghanian, the music contained within is an alchemy of those roots and the pivotal acts that buried deep into their minds. A cosmic contrast, part machine-made, part distinctly human. Take the opener ‘UP’, an ESG-channelling, sci-fi punk beatdown or the polychromatic hyperspace anthem ‘Roller Skater 23’. 
 
Transportive throughout, you ride the solar waves, pace and emotion ebbing and flowing. Tracks like ‘Go Slow Heart’ and ‘Cosmic Trigger’ step to a slower beat but hit with a punch. The former, a slo-mo blast of celestial tenderness, the latter an otherworldly, chugged-out lunar excursion, micro-dosing on whacked-out Wah Wah and Eleanor’s ethereal vocals. Beaming love letters to space and back, ‘Sparse’ marries the organic with the artificial, pianos and percussion circling around synth pads and broadcasting bleeps.
 
Elsewhere, vibrations move faster. ‘Mega’ strikes, fusing sonic tribalism with psychedelic swirls, as ‘Everything’ sweeps you up in its extra-terrestrial new wave grip. Synth stabs and basslines fizzing from every angle.  
 
Demos of Transmission Towers music surfaced on Luke Una’s radar, making him stop in his tracks. Something magical was emerging, perfectly aligned with the E Soul guardian’s tastes. Guidance followed, quickly turning into conversations about Transmission One becoming the first release on Luke’s own label. 
 
Escapist and futurist yet grounded and relatable. Transmission One is synthesis meets sentiment with a deep, spine-tingling soul at its core.
