The Slow Music Movement Blog

​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 strongly advise you just hit play and make up your own mind.
There's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find these recommendations a handy filter.
​Trust your ears, not opinions.

Singles round Up+A bonkers LP - march 31st, 2023

VictoRAMA - AfroRobot (Hominis Canidae)

Vertical Divider
A slow building, cosmic jazz fusion gem by Brazil's VictoRAMA, but once that bass line fuse is lit the keys provide all the oxygen the track needs and before you know it drumstics are thrown on the flames and there's no putting  out the star reaching fusion fire in the studio. You know a tune is bad when 6 minutes flies by and you're sad when it ends.

This is currently kicking off the Slow Jazz Playlist in fine style.

Carmen jaci - Happy Child (Four Finger)

Don't judge an album by its cover unless it's the new Carmen Jaci LP which is as wild, playful, colourful, otherworldly and generally unhinged as the surreal artwork suggests. It's a safe, magical place with never a dull moment as vibrating soundwaves ping, pop, whoop, swoosh, zip and zing all over the place.
You can find her brightening up the Slow Psyche Playlist.

Hugar - fall (Hania Rani Rework) [XXIM]

Vertical Divider
This is a stately piece of music with Hugar's neoclassical ambient soundscapes acting as the sonic thermals that effortlessly and gracefully elevate the unhurried celestial vocals of Hania Rania through the speakers to circle seemingly forever around your listening space. Find this weightless tune in the newly minted Ambient Pop playlist.

Helioé - Grotte (Self Release)

It only seems like last week that Helioe´s debut single was gracing these pages, mainly because it was. Just as I thought things couldn't get any better he's only gone and used the stalactites/mites in Thailand's Phong Nha Cave as percussion for his light touch playing that works with rather than tramples over nature like so much human activity.
Find this sundowner in the Slow Balearic Playlist.

Asambura-Ensemble - Winterreise interkulturell: 8. Shod Kazan - Herbst ist gekommen (decurio)

Vertical Divider
The world's of Schubert & ancient Persian poems seem like odd bedfellows, but when tales of strangeness & loneliness intertwine with Schubert's evocations of dreams & bitter reality courtesy of the Asambura-Ensemble you end up with this emotionally raw musical metaphor for the refugee experience - an issue for our times & one that is only going to get more pressing with each passing year.
Find this heart wrenching track on the Slow World Playlist.
