The release concert at Victoria was magic!

Executing the eloquent right of absudity

Arve Henriksen - Saraswati

Amidst the fervent anticipation of the release of Stac's long awaited second album (due in the spring of 2014) our favourite soulful songstress has found the time to gather together ten of her favourite pieces of contemporary music for your delictation, in the shape of the third instalment of the "Allo Love" series.

Stac is a real music lover (not a fighter) and her selection exemplifies the breadth of her knowledge, and her perfectly pitched taste. A sonorous collection, it kicks off in grandiose style with music from The London Bulgarian Choir, no less, and remains in deep musical waters with the Matthew Herbert produced Hejira, trumpeter and friend Matthew Halsall and close contemporaries, Natural Self and Blue Daisy.

You'll also find a quartet of cherry picked Wah Wah 45s nuggets, with music from The Gene Dudley Group, Henri-Pierre Noel, Lea Lea and Scrimshire fitting perfectly into Stac's personal soundtrack, and the latter's cut also featuring the lady herself on fine vocal form. 

Finally, Stac also appears on a stunning downtempo delight from the mysterious William Sommers with whom she duets on the delicate "Delight", a tune that sums this compilation up perfectly. Enjoy.

Acknowledgement

“Ouro Enfim” is an unexpectedly blissful collaboration between Brazilian participant Luisa Puterman and Belgian participant Roman Hiele. On his previous albums and via releases on his Ekster label, Hiele’s productions tend towards alternately fierce and pastoral electronic abstraction, but “Ouro Enfim” reflects his love for bossa nova grooves. His contributions support Puterman’s beautifully understated melodies, which chime easily throughout the sunny arrangement. The result is utterly relaxing and transportive, with luscious Rhodes seeping into corners carved out by a blunt bassline. The lead and background vocals are provided by an unexpected guest: RBMA Paris lecturer and former lead singer of Stereolab, Lætitia Sadier, who turns in a sumptuous performance.

 I studied with some people during some years seriusly but I think I am a self-taught musician, I look for another ways to understanding music, very personal and at the same time universal, true that I can express the knowlege using colors, mantras, mandalas, also little mathematics...  apreciating all the pedagogical tools that all this means.

 Thank you so much for listening!
