lac63 I don't know how to express my feelings when listening to and experiencing voices of such sublime beauty; they have stirred up a huge wave inside me.
Cheers and keep moving forward!

MDonaldson → "These quiet details (!) make one acutely aware of breath as instrument and of voice as vulnerable human expression rather than processed ethereal wash. The result is expansive yet weightless, as if these seaside improvisation sessions captured something from the spirit world. As their music plays, I feel ghosts gathering around us."

Delighted to say that up next with a beautiful and totally unique vocal interpretation of quiet details, is a collaboration by the wonderful pair of Jolanda Moletta and Karen Vogt, with Sea-swallowed Wands.

Two musicians with the ability to conjure transcendent sound-worlds through the use of their incredibly expressive vocal talents - together they’ve created something that takes all their individual creativity and makes a new and deeply ethereal universe.

Their previous release together on the excellent Longform Editions was a stunning introduction to this collaboration, Sea-swallowed Wands evolves from there with sublime effect.

Jolanda has a string of releases, self-released and on labels such as Whitelabelrecs and Ambientologist; and Karen is prolific, self-releasing and on labels such as Nite Hive, Superpang, Waxing Crescent, Wayside and Woodland and more; plus her part as co-founder and vocalist of the dream-pop band Heligoland.

Sea-Swallowed Wands is a true meeting of kindred spirits - the connection here feels so profound, and this mutual creative understanding leads to the most enchanting musical articulation.

Layers of wordless choral beauty build up over time to create complex harmony, that’s at once both almost infinitely expansive and light as a feather.

The vocal orchestration is the mark of two musicians with highly-tuned intuition and elemental knowledge of symphonic structure.

Huge washes of emotive waves flow across the album - vocal-only material from improvised seaside sessions combined with an emphasis on “the little noises, clicks, breaths, crackles and physical movements” to fully embrace their interpretation of quiet details.

As they say:

Vocal explorations and improvisations made while heavily under the influence of the sea and the moon

Huge thanks to Jolanda and Karen - a very special addition to the series.

The artwork was made as always influenced by the music and idea behind the album - originating from a photo from Jolanda and Karen which was then captured with analogue photography and processed here at quiet details studios.

As usual, the album is presented on the physical edition, a custom six-panel digipack with a separate fine art print too.
The CD also has a special long-form continuous mix of the album, created by the artist and representing the music in its purest form.
