“AFAR” Liquid Bloom & PERE<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bringing the rhythms of the natural world to the modern dance floor, Liquid Bloom and PERE (Shahar Amit) unite their distinct musical backgrounds into the immersive story called \u2018Afar.\u2019<\/span><\/a> Presented in eight vivid tracks that infuse organic instruments and ancient songs with the trance-inducing energy of progressive electronica, the collection highlights each artist\u2019s deep passion for the sounds of the world as well as their iconic approaches to musical storytelling in the digital age.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Opening the album, the journey of \u201cNubra\u201d takes us through deep ambient spaces, percussive grooves, and the elegant and haunting tones of the sarangi and dotar, establishing a balance of organic and digital elements that pervades the collection. Stepping further into this hypnotic space, tracks like \u201cOvergrown\u201d and \u201cRiding Through\u201d showcase the fiery side of the album, merging acoustic instrumentation with heavier electronic themes that are primed for peak moments on the dance floor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cKingfisher\u201d featuring Australian multi-instrumentalist Si Mullumby demonstrates the duo\u2019s creative mixing of natural sounds and instruments for a walkabout into the wilderness, while \u201cP\u00e1jaro Azul\u2019s\u201d uplifting balance of charango, flute, and tranquil vocals courtesy of Isla Espiral spotlights the Latin American musical\u00a0influences at play in the collection. \u201cUfawatu\u201d featuring African music master Chris Berry is a playful song that translates as \u2018the dream of life in the sacred waters.\u2019 Japanese vocalist Madi Sato guides the album out of the wildness with the emotional and cinematic \u2018Lion Dance\u2019 anthem that is \u201cAzuma Jishi.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If \u2018Afar\u2019 opens slowly, the final track, \u201cRefuge,\u201d ends like glowing embers of Samadhi, echoing and honoring the immense passage of emotion that has transpired through PERE and Liquid Bloom’s offerings. The full effect of the duo\u2019s musical fusion is best felt here, where the recognizable coalesces with the imaginary in a cinematic coda that displays each producer\u2019s alchemical approach to psychedelic sound design and guides the album back into the silence from which it all emerged.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
