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.

Various Artists - Invisible (Preserved Sound)

WHAT THE COVER LOOKS LIKE:

WHAT WE SAY:

A beautiful melancholy pervades this lovingly curated, fund raising compilation from Preserved Sound & their roster. Full of electroacoustic gems spanning the worlds of post classical, ambient variations & experimental electronica; often all at the same time. All money goes to Mary's Meals, who are feeding under privileged children in developing countries.

WHAT YOUR EARS SAY:

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY:

All pieces written by Preserved Sound Artists
Mastered by Ian Hawgood
Original artwork – Cover To Cover I by Adrian Lane

"Invisible" is an album of original pieces written and recorded as blind collaborations in response to the COVID-19 crisis by 11 Preserved Sound artists: Aaron Martin, Adrian Lane, Ales Tsurko, Benjamin Louis Brody, Cédric Dind-Lavoie, Glacis, Neal Heppleston, Tess Said So, Thomas Méreur, Trigg & Gusset and Visionary Hours.

All proceeds of the sale of "Invisible" will go to support children affected by COVID-19 across the developing world via the charity Mary’s Meals. £7.95 is the cost Mary’s Meals is able to feed a child for half a year. With the UK government doubling donations until January 31, 2021, each album sale will essentially feed a child in the developing world for an entire year.

The word "Invisible" not only refers to the concept that the COVID virus can’t be seen, but also that contributing artists collaborated on the pieces blindly without knowing what each other was recording. The album showcases the combined response of Preserved Sound’s community of artists to the unfolding COVID crisis – with the individual pieces coalescing to create a cohesive whole.

"The joy of this record is not so much to be found in its methods of creation, as clever as they may be, but in just how seamlessly it all comes together and how beautifully all the strands intertwine" – Stationary Travels

"Over the course of the album, the invisible becomes visible: while individual connections are hard to glean, an overall sense of connection develops" – a closer listen
