Great dramatic scenario! You are speaking like a christian monk or priest, great effect! I am aware that it is a Japanese tradition too. I like it better than rap :) great work!

The steadiness in the vocal makes for gripping and grounding listening.

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.

Rathrobin - Ear To The Ground (teaser)

This is a something in between a re-mix and a re-make of an old montage piece based on recordings of electrostatic generators that I made in Teylers Museum (Haarlem), and sounds I designed around that. The piece was left out of the actual series of pieces ('Beauty Sleepers') performed there as part of the Toon festival in 2001. The re-make/re-model version was made in loving dedication to my father who passed away on January 24th 2022.

Always a gamble turning up to 'twitches' in the hope to get sound recordings of the bird, but I had to make the effort when the location is that of Ham Wall, probably one of the most exotic soundtracks the Uk has to offer. I still struggled to get 2 minutes free of people talking or planes going overhead but with some editing this track was by far the best and bonus, I did get a lovely Bittern booming too. 

The bird! well what do I say, I've never heard or seen one of these before as they're rare vagrants to the Uk but safe to say I'll be making the effort again if we ever get another. They sound truly incredible and are so loud!
