Lone Capture Library - All Natures Most Mundane Materials - VINYL LP

Enter the kaleidoscopic world of Lone - returning to the Greco-Roman tag for his first album in five years 'Hyperphantasia'. An artist who has been soundtracking dancefloors since the early 2000s, Lone made his production debut in 2008 with 'Lemurian', a hip-hop inspired before moving into the vibrant future-facing soundscapes we have come to know. His back catalog ranges through house, rave, ambient, and electronica, and on 'Hyperphantasia', he sets himself the challenge to bring all of those influences together for one body of work that he describes 'like an album in my mind'. Referring back to the album title, the definition of 'hyperphantasia' is a condition characterized by exceptionally vivid and detailed mental imagery and for this album he tested himself to see how close he could get the music to sound exactly like what he was hearing in his imagination. On 'Hyperphantasia', Lone deepens his relationship with vocals. Having previously relied on vocal samples or more abstract live vocal treatments, this latest album marks a shift toward richer, more pop-leaning sensibilities. He makes a clear lyrical statement, enlisting a diverse and carefully chosen cast of collaborators London-based artists and fellow Greco-Roman affiliates Ell Murphy and Lou Hayter, Barcelona's breakthrough singer Bikoko, cult Nottingham rapper Juga-Naut, and Hong Kong-born/London-based musician Merry Lamb Lamb. Together, they contribute to what stands as a career-defining project. The end result is a cinematic experience exploding full of color. You are introduced to the album with an old school rave anthem 'Life Spark' and an interlude welcoming you into this musical world. Like chapters in a novel, the album ebbs and flows beautifully between stripped-back melodies 'Opening A Portal', 'Photographs That Don't Exist', 'Sickly, Sweetly, Summer Movie' and 'Fruit Rots, Water Flows Downstr

Stepan Simonian writes InchWhy Bach? Why Goldberg? Johann Sebastian Bach was a true InchessenceInch of music a composer who brought literally everything together in his output, bridging all periods from Gregorian chant almost all the way to Viennese Classicism. In his seven early keyboard toccatas we encounter a young man gifted with genius, enriched by a multitude of musical influences, and still tempted to adapt to the musical developments of his day... Musical cycles such as The Well-Tempered Clavier, The Musical Offering, or The Art of Fugue constitute the ne plus ultra in terms of Bach's mastery of instrumental polyphony. The Goldberg Variations, conversely, present a compendium of his skill in composing variations. Since this variation cycle is written for a two-manual harpsichord, we can assume that Bach himself regarded it as an important milestone in his art as a performer on that instrument. Whether this supposition be true or not, there is no doubt that the Goldberg Variations represent one of the most outstanding works in the entire musical repertoire... Each time I perform, hear, or study these variations, I uncover new dimensions. They are brimming with the finest nuances, implications, and emotionally charged associations. The familiar path to that familiar home remains the same path, but the way I walk down it becomes thoroughly different every time.Inch
