Song / Upcoming Julia Kent's Dramatic "Tourbillon"
Posted by Kathy Fennessy on Fri, Jan 25, 2013 at 10:41 AM
- The Leaf Label
Aside from her solo records and film scores, Canada-born, NYC-based cellist Julia Kent is a touring member of Antony and the Johnsons. The new song, a pulse-quickening dance between cello and piano, appears on Kent's new LP, her third to date.
According to the press notes, "She called the album Character [as] a reference to the notion of humans being characters in their own narrative." In the notes, Kent describes the unusual instrumental-found sound mix: "matches being struck, to wineglasses, to the sound of pen on paper, to an ancient autoharp..."
If Matmos wasn't on tour with Mouse on Mars, they would make for the ideal bill, since Drew and Martin are also known for their ingenious musical sources.
Leaf releases Character on Mar 4 (CD, digital, and limited-edition LP+CD).
