Following on from Aris Kindt's second album Swann And Odette (KDS 001LP) here is the second release on Francis Harris's new label Kingdoms. Apart from their own works composers, musicians and producers Brandon Wolcott and Emil Abramyan already had a joint release with "YouAndTheSpace Between", the opener on the Don't Break My Love release on Nicolas Jaar's Clown & Sunset label in 2012. In the same year, the two were approached by theater artists Michael Silverstone and Abigail Browde of 600 Highwaymen to compose music for a new work of live performance called The Record. The performance was part theater, part dance, part group hallucination, to be performed by 45 strangers - vivid human assembly on an epic scale. Apart from a simple series of prompts and directions, the music was composed independently of the choreography. Drawing from backgrounds in theatrical sound design, classical composition and experimental electronic music, Brandon and Emil sought to create a diverse tapestry of sound, striving for a dynamic emotional arc that might elude a sense of genre or recognizable form. The music is performed live, with Emil on cello.
