Under the name Talvihorros, Chatwin is known for his innovative combination of electronic experimentation and modern classical composition. However, last year’s The Sleeper Awakes took a left turn and exchanged vanguard minimalism for enhanced melodics. Heat \u0026amp; Entropy delves further into this world.

For “Standing Waves,” he attached pieces of metal, rubber and tape to the piano strings. “The Kraken” uses Terry Riley’s repetition as a starting point, but leads to distorted vocals and an intense, hammered dulcimer climax. “Euclidean Plane” incorporates a bowed mandolin and a three-stringed didley-bow, along with acoustic guitar and metallophone by Ben’s brother, Jordan Chatwin, who has had no formal training and learned guitar by ear, playing with unconventional tunings and chords.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"break\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDespite the unique sounds and textures Chatwin found among the strings, the lure of electronics proved too great. “The album then became about the tensions between the acoustic, or natural world, and the electronic world” he explains. “For me this is where the excitement lies….

He sings, “And I was joyous for you, but shattered none-the-less.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSuffused with a hazy and surreal quality, Crowley describes Watchful Eye’s poignant narratives as those which insisted themselves upon him. After the fact, it seemed these songs came to him more or less fully formed. “It’s a beautiful and mysterious thing,” he says. Perhaps it is a tendency to hold onto memories (“It’s taken me so long to write to you \/ Well I just couldn’t find a pen,” he laments in “Bread and Wine”), that allows him to unleash them lyrically in completion. For Crowley, the creative process is an organic event rather than a practice he feels compelled to regulate or control. He approaches lyrics much like he does short story writing. “The songs straddle the conscious and subconscious world and some are even psychedelic in my mind, but to me they are all at once true stories and born of another place,” he shares.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn making the album, Crowley moved between studio and at home recording, while John Parish (Aldous Harding, PJ Harvey) produced. The pair worked from tracks made initially by Crowley on a charity shop ¾ size nylon string guitar or Mellotron: “In this way, John wanted to keep some of the magic of that first take”, says Crowley. Contradictions and complexities are left intact, initial recordings were limited to one or two takes, and the songs feel more like a dream recounted upon waking. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese raw beginnings were then fleshed out more in the studio with Parish and additional musicians. Jim Barr of Portishead contributed double bass and was brought in to engineer parts of Watchful Eye in Bristol. Parish himself contributed instrumentation as well, his signature sense of drama lending Crowley’s work a new edge overall without disrupting its minimalism. Having members of Crash Ensemble in Dublin to record for only a few days’ time, Crowley recalls staying up all night to write string parts for “Northbound Stowaway,” which was recorded the following morning. While an ominous and steady drumbeat carries the track, Crowley laments, “And it’s drowsy work \/ When you’re staying invisible.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn ethereal escapism shines through Crowley’s lyrical imagery (“Underwater Song”), detailing his tortured return to a flooded, old neighbourhood where an unnamed acquaintance resides: “Last night in the throes of a fever \/ I went floating over your house.” Crowley’s voice serves as the central instrument, his deep and conversational baritone anchoring the tone on the album’s more effervescent tracks “Ships on the Water” and “The Colours of the Night”. His presence permeates the sonic and lyrical content of Watchful Eye, carrying the sorrow of the string instruments (violin, viola, viola d'amore and cello) and adding dimension to the clarinet and keyboard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinal track “Take Me Driving” opens with an arpeggiation, then unfolds into a swaying, melancholy outro. It highlights Crowley's skill at transforming a quiet, repeated phrase into something magnificent, mysterious, and wholly captivating – a story. Crowley leaves us here in his world, driving in a car with a flighty companion, unsure of where we’re going, but continuing nonetheless as he steps out the passenger side. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ba Da Bing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39338323837136,"sku":"600197016510","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/4201\/4416\/products\/adriancrowley.jpg?v=1616556293"},{"product_id":"dana-gavanski-yesterday-is-gone-cd","title":"Dana Gavanski - Yesterday Is Gone CD","description":"\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 300;\"\u003e‘I’m learning how to say goodbye \/ to let you go and face the tide \/ to wrap my feelings in a song,’ sings Dana Gavanski on the title track of her debut LP, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYesterday Is Gone\u003c\/em\u003e.
