This enchanting, off-kilter, neo-classical track transports the listener to a faraway land of tranquility and cryptic lore.
Its delicate melodies, intertwined with ethereal strings, and hypnotic percussive sounds, create a reflective ambiance that lingers long after the song ends.
“Who am I? Why am I here? Where is here? What is time? What is space? What is anything?”
These are the existential thoughts that float around the brain as one listens to the tranquil sonic vibrations of Frank Schultz. A true treat for those inclined to allow the mind to wonder.
The Bahama Soul Club immerses the listener into a dreamlike state filled with sunshine, salty waves, a cool breeze, and rum and cokes at the local beach bar.
The combination of ethereal horns, gentle strums, and weird atmospheric textures generates an otherworldly aura, taking the listener on a transcendent journey through space and time.
“One of the most beautiful surf spots in the southwestern Algarve is the beloved beach of Zavial. Not far from the recording studio of the Bahama Soul Club. Giant waves are given and the breathtaking pictures of the tough wave riders are never out of your mind. ‘Surfing Zavial’ is the soundtrack to one of these dynamic surf sessions and musically illustrates the magical co-play of surfers, waves, boards and sunshine. A driving Bossa with a daredevil surfing alto sax. A charged field of pure energy and chilled company. Close your eyes and you have the full scenery in a flash. The song is dedicated to a lax collective of cool surfer dudes at the beaches of the Algarve and the funny people around.”
Alexander Grawoig strives to create authentic sonic vibrations that reflect the extreme dualities of life.
The project is a binaural meditation on the beauty of the finite nature of life; the waxing and waning of a perfect and never ending cycle.
“The harmonies and melodies are made to evoke a state of being in the moment, feeling with awareness.”
This ethereal neo-classical piece enchants with its celestial atmosphere. The delicate interplay between celestial vibrations, gentle piano, and a distant drone creates a mesmerizing soundscape that evokes a sense of cosmic wonder and mystery.
“In Re Budd” is a joyful ode to the passage of time and is dedicated to the godfather of ambience, Harold Budd, with its deceptively tricky syncopation and Afro Cuban undertones.
The cascading piano arpeggios, interlaced with eclectic instrumentation, evoke a sense of nostalgia and reflection, as if each note carries a cherished memory of a time now dead and gone.
