OTHERS – Geist
LP / Limited Edition 300 copies / White vinyl

Side A: Geist (21:09)
Side B: Geist (21:51)

Formed in 2016, Others is the project of two artists longing for something more experimental in their musical work. Lesli Wood (Cobra Family Picnic) and Daniel Martin Diaz (Trees Speak, Amelia Poe) began these recordings in Wood’s warehouse studio, inviting one guest musician to sit in for each live session. Abstract violinist Vicki Brown, known for her "psychosonic visualizations," is featured throughout the record, along with guest artists Ben Nisbett, Gabriel Sullivan, Julius Schlosburg, Damian Diaz, and Michael Glidewell. This avant-garde project has one foot in the 21 st Century and the other shifting among various eras of the past, sometimes in a dance, sometimes a dirge, of synths and dulcimers. Freed of genre limitations and
preconceived patterns, the musicians were encouraged to explore wildly, using the foundation of a ‘broken’ consort of 18th Century chamber music wherein one musician introduces a melody, motif, or sound and the other musicians respond as they see fit. Recording sessions were lit by candlelight and shrouded in incense smoke, establishing the mood for composition, calling to mind, as Diaz describes, a gothic cathedral “filled with early analog synthesizers with vines growing out of them, a living breathing entity of music that transcends time and space.”

"un sorprendente album in uscita a Novembre su vinile bianco in tiratura di 300 copie è "Geist" degli Others, terzetto composto dalla chitarrista Lesli Wood (dei Cobra Family Picnic, combo space rock di Tucson), dall'artista e compositore Daniel Martin Diaz (di cui Cinedelic ha pubblicato nel 2017 il pregevole doppio album del progetto Trees Speak) e dalla violinista sperimentale Vicki Brown (più alcuni ospiti a percussioni, dulcimer, synth analogici). Gli Others si dicono ispirati nel sottotitolo di "Geist" ("Spirito") dalla musica cameristica barocca inglese (broken consorts) del XVIII secolo, con botta e risposta estemporanei tra diverse classi di strumenti. Le due lunghe suite del disco alternano in effetti parti più ombrose, astratte, rallentate e "cameristiche" a cavalcate in crescendo con dialoghi serrati di chitarra, violino e batteria, che rimandano piuttosto a situazioni space-psych-rock o ancor più agli avventurosi e imprevedibili primi lavori di Can e Faust, senza alcuna intenzione imitativa. Movenze strumentali ora ovattate e misteriose ora più decise e intense che aspirano ad evocare "cattedrali gotiche" sonore, con improvvisazioni registrate a tal scopo tra fumi d'incenso e a lume di candela, come certi vecchi concerti di Schulze e Tangerine Dream. Di questi tempi, è già una gran cosa trovarsi ad ascoltare - e riascoltare con immutato diletto - un album col medesimo spirito di scoperta e avventura che suscitavano un tempo i fascinosi vinili dei Corrieri Cosmici importati dalla Germania..."
