Love the spiky, squishy phrase/tremolo pulsing

some recent works, you to listen to once again

artist: Rathrobin https://soundcloud.com/rathrobin
album: Ear to the Ground (NR016)
release date: 31st January 2022
duration: 36 minutes
edition: digital + limited edition CD

Naviar's first solo release of the year is the stunning concept album "Ear to the Ground" by electroacoustic duo Rathrobin.

Exploring the themes of memory and yearning, Ear to the Ground is a sonic journal of intertwined personal experiences: two nomadic authors pouring their creativity and feelings in a blank canvas that becomes a breathtaking collection of electroacoustic songs.

When Pier and Beth contacted me to release their album, I was mesmerized by the mood and poignancy of their soundscapes.
Ear to the Ground is cinematic music at its best: powerful and enveloping, inviting the listener on a journey that speaks of human nature, life, and personal evolution. Beth's voice gently guides us and hovers over Pier's captivating ambient layers, adding further depth to a multifaceted album that evolves together with the listener.

The main themes of ‘Ear to the Ground’ are time, memory and nostalgia, which are realized through textural, layered, emotive and evocative soundscapes.

During six years of collaboration, inevitably, the artists' own memories, experiences and lives were interwoven throughout the album, and their own, somewhat nomadic lifestyles reflected another significant theme of the album: the meaning of home.

Vocals, field recordings, digital and analogue instruments move through the album as a way for the artists and listeners to process experiences from the past and conjure thoughts of the future.

The album’s making was a long but consistent process and invariably included some periods of furious creativity and others of quiet contemplation.

About Rathrobin:

Beth Chesser (UK) and Pier Giorgio Storti (Italy) collaborated virtually, over a six-year period whilst simultaneously exploring the world, living in various countries. After meeting on Soundcloud they quickly began working on their first collaborative album, ‘Ear to the Ground’. Each are musicians in their own right, both have performed in live bands and a multitude of recorded musical projects. The collaboration sees Pier contribute his multi-instrumental aptitude with Beth’s vocals, and digital music compositions. All the tracks from their debut album have been recorded in various locations: Italy, UK, Singapore and Finland between 2015 and 2020.

Before you slip into unconsciousness

"I'm a mellow artist, aging 67. I love and release eclectic music, from post-classical to drone. My fave instrument is the Mellotron."

Così, sinteticamente, di solito mi presento.

In genere compongo musica partendo dal suono delle tastiere, ma il mio vero strumento è il registratore.

O i software di registrazione.

"I was made for loving and making recorded music."

Confido da sempre nel potere evocativo e orfico della musica, nella sua capacità di riconsegnarci a mondi più veri e più giusti, più belli di quelli in cui di solito viviamo.

SoundCloud è la piattaforma musicale che preferisco perché è soprattutto il regno degli amateurs, di quelli che fanno musica per sé e per gli amici .. come quando da ragazzi si condividevano con gli altri le invenzioni e le creazioni .. io sostanzialmente sono rimasto lì e così .. non sempre, ovviamente, ma spesso ci trovo delle cose che valgono altrettanto - se non di più - rispetto a quelle più affermate e conosciute
