VANTZOU CHRISTINA - CD NO.5

Popis - NO.5:
While on the island of Syros in the Aegean Sea for a film festival performance, Christina Vantzou experienced what she characterized as "a moment of focus"_a specific vision for the sprawl of raw recordings she'd been amassing for her fifth album. Upon relocating to the Cycladic island of Ano Koufonisi, she situated herself outside and began the "reductive process" of shaving and shaping the source material. Mixing the pieces herself without outsourcing to an engineer compounded the intimacy and autobiographical dimension of the music. Fleeting configurations of piano, wind, strings, synthetics and field recordings, these are spaces as much as compositions, surreal grottos of shifting light, suffused with a sense of invisible divinity.
