- It's out this September via Davachi's own label, Late Music.
Listen to the first single from Sarah Davachi's new album.
The eight-track Antiphonals is coming out on Late Music, the label Davachi started for the release of Cantus, Descant last year. The new album's concept stems from the Los Angeles-based musician merging her studio practice with the tape delay processes that inform her live performance. It's based on the Mellotron, an electro-mechanical musical instrument.
"This is a collection of studies that began as a way of giving reverence to repetition and modality within a harmonic space," writes Davachi. "It is a minimalist music that is as much concerned with the vertical experience of texture as it is with the elongation of intervallic progressions across the horizontal realm—an occurrence that we might typically refer to as 'melody,' but which becomes obscured here in the continual undoing of its staying power."
