This ': ,: is the duoÆs first release. :, : : :' This project triangulates aspects of new music, creative music, ': ,: and song-writing, combining their classical training and their :, : involvement with the Canadian creative and indie music scenes. : :' Though they originally met while both pursuing degrees in ': ,: classical music at UBC in 2007, they share an interest in many :, : musical styles. Their sound reflects broad influences from : :' artists including Nico Muhly, Bjork, Jonny Greenwood, David ': ,: Lang, and Caroline Shaw. :, : : :' Thorn and Jacob are interested in merging the familiar with the ': ,: new, and draw from their wide range of influences to create :, : music that is honest. Their approach involves equal parts of : :' intellect and feeling, pursuing both accessibility and ': ,: experimentation equally. The process of songwriting varies from :, : song to song, but usually one of them brings in a kernel, and : :' the two develop parts together, parts on their own, then back ': ,: to different possibilities together. :, : : :' ôThe piano and the harp are a really interesting match because ': ,: they are so related in timbre and function, but individual :, : enough to offer each unique sound palate. The possibilities of : :' blend, texture, and harmonic depth are really exciting. Robyn ': ,: is an endless inspiration to me in all the things that she does. :, : We have quite different approaches to writing (Robyn is more : :' rhythm and pattern-based, whereas I am driven mostly by melody ': ,: and harmony) so the collaborative writing process is really :, : interesting and stimulating.ö (Elisa Thorn) : :' ': ,: "I like Elisa's integrity and devotion to her artwork, and her :, : attitude in general as a musician and an artist. Also, it is a : :' privilege to be able to make art with one of your best ': ,: friends." (Robyn Jacob) :, : : :' The Giving Shapes is a synthesis of their shared musical ': ,: aesthetic and curiosity with their long-standing relationship as :, : co-curators and presenters. Music from the duoÆs projects has : :' been featured in jazz festivals such as the Montreal and ': ,: Toronto Jazz Festivals, new music festivals like Music on Main, :, : and indie pop festivals including the Campbell Bay Music : :' Festival. ': ,: :, : The duo's sincere yet polished, cool yet warm, celestial yet : :' humane approach towards sounds is integrated into a single ': ,: intimate world of music with everything impeccably balanced. :, : Thorn's and Jacob's ethereal voices convey subtle emotions, : :' gently unfolding the narrative of their personal world into a ': ,: unique space where the acoustic beauty of classical music and :, : the accessibility of pop music humbly entwine around each other. : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / 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 2 1 \/
