SARAH DAVACHI -AntiphoneLs | Sara Davachiy | Ele -King

　A new work by Calgary, Canada, has been released by Sarah Davachiy.Sarah Davatic is an important new generation of drone artists / musicians.This work "Antiphonals" is Sara's 2021 new work.This work is also an album that melts the area of baroque music, minimal music and drone music.

　Sarah Davatic's music deepened with each other with the release of the album. In particular, from "All My Circles Run" announced by in 2018, and "Gave in Rest" from the same year's I think that the sound has become softer, and the personality has become autonomous as a drone writer. She has also deepened her depth and skill as her composer. She is starting to wear graceful musicality that reminds me of baroque music. She has been more prominent in her musicality and sound, using her baroque musical classical techniques. Her songs such as "FOR HARPSICHORD / FORPSICHORD / FORPE PIPE ORGAN AND STRING TRIO" in 2018 and "Cantus, Descant" in 2020 will be renewed as a sound while inheriting the traditions of her classical music. There were many aspects. That should be the case, Sarah Davatic, who learned philosophy, completed electronic music and recording media master's degrees in Mills College, California, and is now a popular at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). He is conducting research on the aesthetic effects of musical instruments and tone in experimental music, used music, etc. She is a researcher. Perhaps the "hardness" of her early drone sound may be like a baroque music chamber and stringed instruments. From there, she would have polished her sound with the aim of a more intimate acoustic space. The albums that are released more than one year may have the meaning of reporting in the middle of their research. Of course, she can be said to be a crystal of her motivation for her creation.

　Anyway, Sarah Davachiy is a masterpiece. Since her first album, The Untuning of the Sky in 2013, she has announced albums every year, and since 2015, she has released more than two years a year. In 2018, three albums, such as "For Harpsichord / for Pipe Organ and String Trio", "Gave in Rest", and "Let Night Come on Bells End The Day", will be sent out, and in 2019, ARIEL KALMA. In 2020, he released three enriched albums, such as "Intemporel" and "Pale Bloom", in 2020, such as "Figures in Open Air", "GATHERS", and "Descant". As I wrote at the beginning, in recent years, her maturity, fulfillment, and achievement of her work has been spotted. In 2020, Sarah Davachii established her own label, Late Music. In addition to her past work, she released albums such as "Figures in Open Air" and "Cantus, Descant". Her new "Antiphone" is also released from Late Music.

　In "Antiphone", I had the impression that the intersection of baroque music (old music) and modern music, such as pursuit, practice, and experimented, has finally reached the end of the completion. While inheriting his style so far, he is deepening the music world. Is it possible that more purified music has been born as a result of trial and error in his music technique in his two -disc set, Cantus, Descant? At the beginning of "ANTIPHONALS", "Chorus Scene" develops songs like Johann Sebastian Bach or baroque music. Moreover, the subtle semitone uses it has the effect of floating the tonune of the song, and the residue that can be said to be a modern musical sound is sneaking into a baroque song. I think it's a really excellent song. It's also interesting to be a song for guitar. At the same time, it also has a mood like a 70's singer -songwriter album, such as Colin Blancone (like a singer -songwriting album without singing?). In the second song "Magdalena", the ambience sounds like a fluctuation of a transparent curtain, and gradually turns into a larger ambient drone. This is also a wonderful song.

　The two songs at the beginning represent the individuality of this album. It is a round trip between an old music with a simple instrument and a drone -like song with a hazy texture. The album is configured as if to go back and forth between 300 years of Western music history. As an aside, in terms of the intersection between the old music and the drone, it seemed like a German Stephen Matthew, a master of the ambient drone. In addition, the noise of a small sound that can be heard (sounding) slightly over the song is also good. Small hiss noise, like playing a cassette, is playing every song. Needless to say, this noise is cleverly produced by this noise. The famous machine RE-501 CHORUS Echo and TEAC A-234 are used for recording, and Sarah Davachiy himself is working. Mastering is a topic that must be remembered that the California Ambient writer, McCan, is performing .

　This album is simply experimental, no noble and stiff music at all. As announced as "album consisting only of the keyboard part of the progressive rock", this work is not only a barrock -like and classic song, but also a drone and experimental song. There is a friendly and easy -to -listen. Is it a song that has a classical music that has changed into a more simple sound image drone? This trend is found in all new generation drone musicians. For example, remind you of the Swedish Stockholm -based Cali Marone organ. For a new generation of musicians, it is most important to be "music", and it may be that experiments and classics exist. I feel the intelligence of a new era / generation only for this flat sensitivity. In any case, this "ANTIPHONALS" was born as a result of the intersection of the transparent charm as a drone and the skill of the song as a modern classical song as a modern classical and modern classical. It is a wonderful work. It is a masterpiece that I want to listen to many times, along with Cari Malone's "The Sacrificial Code" released in 2019.
