Anything featuring Will Guthrie is immediately worthy of yr full attention, and this new album from Brecht Ameel and Kim Delcour’s ever-changable ensemble is no exception. If slow-moving, highly expressive scene-setting is your bag - this one will charm in spades, desploying harmonium, celesta, winds, reeds and hurdy-gurdy alongside Guthrie’s always confounding percussive backbone - for a music that sounds entirely out of time.
"Razen is the collective consciousness of core members Brecht Ameel and Kim Delcour, who since 2010 have realized themselves through virtuoistic and highly expressive improvisations with lesser-heard instruments. Experimenting with repetition of tones through controlled breathing and phrasing, Razen arrive at a synesthetic playground of auditory textures and colorful imagery.
The album's earthly elements deal with survival, timelessness, and simplicity; such as the life affirming rewards of finding refuge and the wonders of observing the interstellar. The unearthly elements pitch this narrative into the realm of mythology and superstition, in the hopes of trying to understand our primeval universe and thrive in the unknown. Regression also addresses Razen’s fascination with inhospitable places and how to adapt to the sorrows that come with this sort of brutalism. The resulting destination is a mind and time bending zone - one that can be reached by riding sound waves that transcend the past, future, and present.”
