BRANDON WOLCOTT & EMIL ABRAMYAN | Music Of The Record (Kingdoms) – LP
Following on from Aris Kindt’s second album Swann and Odette, here is the second release on Francis Harris new label Kingdoms.
Turn Apart from their own works composers, musicians and producers Brandon Wolcott and Emil Abramyan already had a joint release on the Don’t Break My Love release on Nicolas Jaar’s Clown & Sunset label in 2012. In the same year the two have approached by theater artists Michael Silverstone and Abigail Browde of 600 Highwaymen to compose music for a new work of live performance called The Record. Aside from a simple series of prompts and directions, the music was composed independently of the choreography.
Drawing from backgrounds in theatrical sound design, classical composition and experimental electronic music, Brandon Wolcott and Emil Abramyan sought to create a diverse tapestry of sound, striving for a dynamic emotional arc that might elude a sense of genre or recognizable form. The music is performed live, with Emil on cello and structured into six songs on the Mini-LP Music of The Record.
