My new EP ‘Fragments’ has just been released as a 3″ CDr on Hibernate (postcard series). The beautiful artwork comes courtesy of Peter Nejedly and complements extremely well the atmosphere of the CD. In his review for Fluid Radio, Mick Buckingham reckons that “applied across genres, “transcedental introspection” alludes to postmodernist values of artistic composition – citing relativity as a conduit to alter, and monotony of subject as a course to lease. And transcedental introspection, indeed, is something which Hibernate’s “Postcard” by Pascal Savy has by the bucketload.”
Update (06/01/12): The CD is now sold out from the Hibernate store, but I have a few copies left. You can contact me here, if you wish to get one.
The Internet really works in its own way. Somebody (unknown to me) used the track ‘Transference’ from my recent ‘Liminal’ EP to make this beautiful and dark video, where the protagonist discovers a letter revealing that the spirit of an unfortunate woman, killed by the Count and his mother, now lives inside her. A fate that could well be awaiting her…
Another review of ‘Liminal’, this time written by Mohammed Ashraf for The Silent Ballet and yet another interpretation of the record: “Any momentum gained is done so by the motion of the field recordings on tape but the feeling of being trapped within one’s own psyche remains throughout. Many won’t feel like strangers to these feelings. The sense of being isolated from the world by the workings of one’s own mind is a thread that binds people together.”
With every new review, I gain a new perspective on my own music and it informs my own creative process in a very unique way. It shows me the different narrative arcs that the EP can take once an audience engage with it. A piece of music has as many different meanings as it has listeners and, in a way, they’re all equally valid. Even my own intentions and visions, when I created this music, become unclear to me past a certain point. Reading all those reviews only confirms that meaning remains elusive at best.
