The Slow Music Movement Blog

​Mostly we put our daily recommendations here for the blog readers among you, although occasionally we go longform.
Reading about music is a bit like looking at pictures of food - not nearly half as much fun as getting involved, so we scribble a brief intro to hopefully whet your appetite but you're better off just hitting play. Not very "slow" I know but there's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find the recommendations a handy filter.
​Trust your ears, not opinions.

Corey Fuller & Richard Skelton - isolarii (Thesis)

WHAT YOUR EARS SAY & THE COVER LOOKS LIKE

WHAT WE SAY

​This golden age of musical fusion has been propelled to new heights & possibility with the normalisation of remote pandemic collaborations. This Anglo Asiatic ride through ambient, neoclassical, gentle minimal & more urgent, forceful maximal electroacoustic composition from Corey Fuller & Richard Skelton for Thesis is more proof, if any were needed, that not looking someone in the eye during the creative process is as valid an approach as any.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY

‘Isolarii’ is an archaic word used to describe ‘island books’ — a category which, according to George Tolias ‘belongs somewhere within the shadowy bounds of geographical, historical, and travel literature and nautical manuals’. A recent addition to this largely forgotten literary genre is Judith Schalansky’s ‘Atlas of Remote Islands’. Fuller sent Skelton a copy during lockdown, and it became a tacit guiding text for their ensuing collaboration, as both artists were islanded, and geographically remote from each other (Fuller in Japan, Skelton in the UK). As travel restrictions tightened, they exchanged recordings of cello, accordion and piano as a way of circumventing those geographical limitations — of making musical excursions into unknown waters. The result is a series of compositions that seamlessly move back and forth between Japan and the UK, layering time-zones and topographies to create a new, singular ‘atlas of remote islands’.
