Lights A.M. - Stories Without Words

Norwegian cinematic electronic project LIGHTS A.M. (aka Erlend Eilertsen of ESSENCE OF MIND) returns with the conceptual full length album “Stories Without Words”. With a title that speaks for itself, this instrumental 10-track release tells different short stories which progressively connect with each others while the listeners keep exploring and discovering that soundtrack full of deep moments evoking personal visual and emotional journeys triggered by their very own imagination and creative space…

From meditative soundscapes to heartwarming hymns through melancholic melodic layers, LIGHTS A.M. offer us a cottony and foggy soundtrack for the winter. More than ever, the Norwegian artist focuses on deep emotions and intimate moments by letting his machines speak through these instrumental cuts evoking once again the acknowledge influence of legendary artists like VANGELIS, BRIAN ENO, TANGERINE DREAMS or yet OMD.

This is timeless electronic music from the North teaching us that stories can indeed be told without words… The story continues.

Tsirihaka Harrivel - La Dimension

In 2017, Tsirihaka Harrivel, circus artist, multi-instrumentalist jack of all trades, begins writing this album which will become “The Dimension”, knowing already that it would form the basis of an upcoming performance. He then draws from this intended music the impetus for a narrative frame: it is in fact a soundtrack in reverse.

Tsirihaka builds the soaring atmosphere of this album around an inspiring 1983 Italian groove box featuring synthetic violins and an intriguing rhythm machine. The elliptical lyrics and the breakthroughs of sound participate in this impossible quest where any exit inevitably seems to elude.

The album was produced with Pierre Desprats (music from the films of Bertrand Mandico) who, with his experience of pop and cinema, has managed to keep the energy to several entries of this false album: association of ideas, tragic effect and illustrative music.
