“Patient, hauntingly beautiful music...”
XLR8R

“Mesmerising, meditative drone-raag…”
Nick Luscombe, BBC Radio 3

“Emotionally devastating...nothing short of extraordinary...”
Disorder Magazine

A resident of the spectacular wilderness of Canadian island town Port Hardy (located on the northern tip of Vancouver Island), solo bowed guitar player / trumpet player / tape manipulator C. Diab creates in his music something comparable to the remote and otherworldly beauty of his surroundings.

However, there is a lack of clear musical references to his LP No Perfect Wave. In its singularity and intersection of niche geographies - both musical and physical - the record lands only momentarily on comparison points. Listeners of Colin Stetson, for example, will enjoy C. Diab’s virtuosic instrumental technique; fans of Tim Hecker and Richard Skelton will find interest in the glacial slow-motion textures; here is a soul-bearing and intimate tenderness in the same way as Arthur Russell; John Fahey and Robbie Basho scholars will appreciate his nods to the dark underworld of North American folk music. But, as with the best records, the result is much greater than these parts. The truth more distinctive and mystical than the evocations.

This is partly due to C. Diab’s playing style. He describes his work as ‘Cascadian guitar music’. Where Appalachian Guitar Music has a well-known musical identity, C. Diab’s elegant cello-bowed guitar compositions have a quality just as rare and powerful, captured with meditative and swooping grace on No Perfect Wave. As longing and expressive as solo cello, droning as leftfield ambient music, moving as film score and cathartic as religious song. He names the style in reference to the biogeographical (but not political) territory of the Cascade mountain region (Northwestern USA / Southwestern Canada), which is - just as C. Diab’s music - mountainous, moody, mesmeric, and filled with breathtaking majesty.

“C. Diab has set an incredibly high precedent for experimental, leftfield instrumentalism with this striking collection of tracks.”
Cone Magazine

“Profoundly moving...C. Diab has created a work of breathtaking stature and crossover appeal capable of being filed equally alongside Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Philip Glass.”
Get Into This

“There’s a devotional spirituality about this album that’s deeply captivating.”
Electronic Sound Magazine

“This album, as ever, showcases C. Diab’s skillful use of tape manipulation and his experimentations in both guitar and trumpet playing.”
The Quietus

"One can rarely label drone as being infectious but with its dynamic bowing and carefully assembled chordal overdubs, this singular and splendid record burrows into your mind and lingers long after."

Odesza- Say My Name(LifEline Remix)

the lense of the abstract is viewed through the eyes of the architects, escorting unlit flames to the center of psychic resource.
this new age has been found;
//the loins of its underbelly have been deemed ample and expansive.
IMPERIAL LOVE and IMPUNITY will dictate the fate of those who percieve source.
