Indigo De Souza - Precipice - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Everything has to be said. This is the conviction guiding Indigo de Souza's sophomore album, Any Shape You Take. This dynamic record successfully creates a container for the full spectrum-pushing through and against every emotion InchI wanted this album to give a feeling of shifting with and embracing change. These songs came from a turbulent time when I was coming to self-love through many existential crises and shifts in perspective.Inch Faithful to it's name, Any Shape You Take changes form to match the tenor of each story it tells. InchThe album title is a nod to the many shapes I take musically. I don't feel that I fully embody any particular genre-all of the music just comes from the universe that is my ever-shifting brain/heart/world,Inch says Indigo. This sonic range is unified by Indigo's strikingly confessional and effortless approach to songwriting, a signature first introduced in her debut, self-released LP, I Love My Mom. Written in quick succession, Indigo sees these two records as companion pieces, both distinct but in communion with each other InchMany of the songs on these two records came from the same season in my life and a certain version of myself which I feel much further from now.InchI feel very much like a shape-shifter with my music, I'm always trying to embody a balance between the existential weight and the overflowing sense of love I feel in the world.Inch It is exactly this balance that Indigo strikes in her Saddle Creek debut, Any Shape You Take. A listening experience that gives back, as you shed and shape-shift along with her.TRACK LISTING01. 17 3 0602. Darker Than Death 3 1303. Die/Cry 2 2604. Pretty Pictures 2 5805. Real Pain 4 5006.

Florent Schmitt was one of the most original French composers of his generation, and his chamber music shows him at his most personal. The Quatre Pièces, Op. 25 are evocatively lyrical while the Scherzo vif brims with intricate but fiery virtuosity. The Sonate libre, Op. 68 remains one of his most admired works, a bold diptych with lyric rhapsody at it's core but one that also evokes the tragedies of the First World War. The late masterpiece Habeyssé, Op. 110 reveals the explosive power and subtle poetry of Schmitt's imagination.
