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.

For this week's naviar haiku I tried the VSTs Noises and Wires by Audiothing / Hainbach. Adds some warmth to my sound textures. Ridiculously great plugins.

Looking, not seeing –
Suddenly I realise
Spring buds unfolding.

HEAR HEAR    ( from God )

see - if by our definition - there's no sinner
for they're all just missing something
that would help them Not Sin
in God's Eyes

then - The Wrath of God is... ever-OutDeviling All The Devils
by being True ( or The True Devil )
by merely ever-helping All ( Us All ever-growing Purer )
with The Next Best Thing - that'll help us - See The Light

well-enough... to Repent : and so Adjust for The Better
with smiles, on our faces - till The Next Time
we hear from God . . . ever-for The-Better...
and Never Worse !!!

We Gonna Make It

There are few musical projects
that can boast of being a meeting
place, a crossroad of stories and
influences, of creation and play.
World Wild Web and its name
in the form of a challenge to be
taken up with a smile on your face
is one of them. Led by the French
musician and producer Manuel Jesus,
this entity illustrates marvellously
a fragmented and hybrid artistic
state of mind, incorporating
synthetic and organic sounds,
navigating between oblique
club music, euphoric pop songs
and global psychedelia.
