If music be the food of love, play on...
so here goes...
6music continues to prove as my source of soothing, magical bliss. Calm, therapeutic, depth!
My current two favourites, could perhaps combine very well on a soundtrack...
Basically both compliment each other. They contrast the essence of my previous post from the Chemical Brothers!
'Yian' review below is from bandcamp.com
Lucinda Chua - Yian (released 24th March)
'“YIAN” (燕), means swallow in Chinese, and is part of “Siew Yian,” the name given to Chua by her parents to preserve her connection with her Chinese heritage. Just as the migratory songbird lives between places, so did Chua, the artist living in the in-between of the English, Malaysian and Chinese cultures that make up her heritage. In the absence of Mandarin as a mother tongue, music became a way to express the parts of herself that couldn’t be described in words; “YIAN” emerged as a way to heal.
A deeply introspective and fully realized vessel of creative expression (Chua self-produced and engineered eight of the ten tracks), “YIAN” emerges as less an album than a worldview, a commitment to learning and uncovering one’s own selfhood honed over Chua’s lifelong reconciliation with her own personal history and identity.'
