In it Rasti explores connections between location and memory and how narration is affected by perspective and time \u2013 a concept she illustrates by paraphrasing the Greek philosopher Heraclitus: <em>\u201cWe never step in the same river twice, for it\u2019s not the same river and we are not the same human being\u201d<\/em>. The nearby Piave River offered a wellspring of inspiration for the music on the album as the composer gives consideration to the contrast between the peace and clarity she found there and its tumultuous, often violent history as the scene of major battles in both the 19th and 20th centuries. From a compositional perspective, the concept is implemented by taking fragments from famous classical pieces and replaying them over and over until they became unrecognizable. It is an ambitious project to say the least, but a deeply thought provoking one that succeeds not just on a cerebral level, but on an emotional one as well due to the human qualities with which it is imbued. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong><em>The River<\/em><\/strong> was released December 6, 2024, on limited edition vinyl LP and digital by FatCat Reocrds. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"bethan-kellough-gravity-sand\">Blurstem \u2013 Ocelli<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Memories of Autumn - Blurstem\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jm_A4YGJ_tQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Info<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/blurstem.bandcamp.com\/album\/ocelli\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/blurstem.bandcamp.com\/album\/ocelli<\/a><\/p>\n<p>An artist of many facets, <strong>Chris Bartels <\/strong>makes music of different kinds under a variety of aliases.

Most of the album was recorded in the summer of 2023 in a shed hidden away in the forest outside Bilthoven, a small village in the Dutch province of Utrecht. Coinciding with the making of the record was the passing of Mark Brounen who was a friend to the two artists as well as being Beving\u2019s manager and ultimately the album becomes a personal tribute as well as a somber reflection. It is one that goes beyond grief and sadness, however. Vos describes the music as \u201ca sonic landscape that encourages imaginative exploration\u201d while Beving hopes it will encourage \u201ca search for harmony and understanding\u201d.
