In regards to the new album she : :' speaks of focusing particular attention on the effects of the ': ,: recordings on the body, and of ôdirecting sound perception into :, : an inner space.ö : :' ': ,: No. 4 took shape across roughly two years, incorporating a :, : diverse array of musical and conceptual collaborators, including : :' fellow Kranky artists Steve Hauschildt and John Also Bennett ': ,: (of Forma) as well as Angel Deradoorian (ex-Dirty Projectors), :, : Clarice Jensen, Beatrijs De Klerck, and members of BelgiumÆs : :' Echo Collective. During the creation process Vantzou wanted to ': ,: ôblur lines of hierarchy,ö and thus allowed all ensemble members :, : and technical assistants to add or delete elements. Despite such : :' a spectrum of input the eleven tracks feel distinctly cohesive, ': ,: weaving elegant textures and resonant open spaces within a :, : twilit landscape of eclectic instrumentation: piano, harp, : :' vibraphone, voice, strings, marimba, synthesizers, gong, and ': ,: bells. :, : : :' Vantzou describes the recording process as one of prepared ': ,: spontaneity: that is, ôhaving plenty of ideas ready to explore :, : going into the session, but with enough time to depart from : :' those ideas and see what happens.ö This mindset of premeditated ': ,: exploration informs the albumÆs emotive textural intuition, with :, : hushed drones and delicate gestures eliding in the periphery of : :' the mix. She cites sleep and ôthe loosening of timeö as two ': ,: formative practices in her private and professional life, which :, : manifests in the quietly hallucinatory properties of VantzouÆs : :' music. No. 4 feels both endless and ephemeral, immersive and ': ,: immaterial. ItÆs a music of horizon lines and half-light, mapped :, : with feeling and foresight. : :' ': ,: Recorded in New York City and Brussels. Mixed in Berlin. :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 8 \/
