': ,: :, : ôAmnioverseöùôa sort of portmanteau of the amniotic sac and the : :' universe,ö Lapalux explainsùrevolves around notions of ': ,: fluidity; that birth, life, death, and rebirth is a never ending :, : continuum. He channels these ethereal ideas through a new and : :' ever-expanding modular synth set-up, injecting human emotion, ': ,: and layering recordings of weather, wind, rain and fire, lending :, : an elemental, celestial feel to the composition. While 2017Æs : :' ôRuinismö was about sonic wreckage and deconstruction, with ': ,: ôAmnioverseö, Howard took a different approach, basing each :, : track around a snippet of spoken word from ôfriends, lovers, and : :' ex partnersö, and building the music around it. He also ': ,: reconnects with Icelandic vocalist JFDR (J≤frφ≡ur ┴kad≤ttir) who :, : returns for two tracks on ÆThin AirÆ and æThe Lux QuadrantÆ, as : :' well as vocalist Lilia on æLimb To LimbÆ, æVoltaic AcidÆ and ': ,: æMomentineÆ. ôFor me the real focus was that the whole record :, : flowed,ö he says. öI worked on each song sequentially and : :' wouldnÆt stop working on a session until they fitted together ': ,: and told the story that I wanted to tell.ö :, : : :' Initial inspiration for the album came from a photograph of ': ,: James TurrellÆs Twilight Epiphany Skyspace installation in :, : Texas. ôI looked at it every day for three years whilst making : :' this record.ö explains Howard, ôPeople are sitting in what ': ,: looks like a waiting room lit in a purple hue, looking up at the :, : dark night sky through a rectangular hole in the ceiling. The : :' image has so much depth and means so much to me.... it seems ': ,: like we are all in that waiting room, waiting to be somewhere or :, : go somewhere. ThatÆs what I tried to encapsulate in this : :' record.ö ': ,: :, : Turrell's influence extends to the album cover too, itself an : :' homage to the artistÆs groundbreaking work with light, shadow ': ,: and perspective. Conceived by Creative Director and photographer :, : Dan Medhurst and Owen Gildersleeveùan expert in hand-crafted : :' illustration and set designùthe build stemmed from a vision ': ,: that Howard imagined: ôI initially had an idea of a person, or :, : group of people, in an impossibly large room set in a fog of : :' pink looking into a void symbolic of a womb or amniotic sac,ö ': ,: he says. ôWe then ran with the idea of making a structure that :, : had a deeper perspective, the ever decreasing octagon shape that : :' suggests a sort of birth canal into the unknown.ö ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / 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 9 \/
