Kamal Sabran-Adam James Davis-Lorenzo Pancini : Meditative Sonic Experiment

Adam James Davis

Adam in his notes "After listening to Kamal's original piece, I wanted to make something so wild and free more relaxed and meditative. To keep the connection with the original, I only used Kamal's track as the source material without synthesizing any sounds myself. The sounds of this remix are influenced mainly by such microsound artists as Steinbruchel as well as the dub techno of Basic Channel with the use of tape hiss in their tracks too."

Lorenzo Pancini add poetry reading on the track, making a massive contribution on the emotional part of the overall track. Adam add, "That was some incredibly beautiful and emotional music! Cheers, Lorenzo. I'm more inspired to do this now :D Do you write your own songs/poetry/spoken word, Lorenzo? If so, you could provide and recite some original material for this potential project. I'll need to save up some money to go to Malaysia...I think the summer would be good to do this thing...
Sea waves and oceans inspire me, too. They give me a deep sense of melancholy. The spoken word worked well on Kamal's remix...it sounded like someone on a fishing boat in the middle of an ocean, perhaps at night, radio-ing out to someone. Sea waves, sound waves, light waves...it's all so musical and harmonic! :D ".

We agree that this collaboration project is successful and looking for the next series of intense experimentation."Man that's amazing! I love it. It also reminded me of crazy, free-form jazz. Perhaps one day me and Lorenzo could fly over to your studio and improvise live. I can imagine it sounding something like this track, but lasting for, say, 20 minutes...with poetry recited during the more calmer bits of the piece." said Adam again.



*Adam Davis is an artist based in Nottinghamshire, England. He works with the audible, visual and literary mediums, although he likes to see no distinction between these disciplines as well as between others. No music, no poetry…just the subjective and the objective, where there is beauty in both (a “meta-subjective” opinion, though!). He is inspired by the idea that there is harmony and rhythm in everything, be it physical or abstract, and that true, pure chaos, disharmony and arrhythmia may be an impossibility (so far in this universe, at least). He also believes that we should strive culturally, technologically and physically towards states and existences of perpetual energy, perpetual harmony and perpetual bliss where such phenomena increase exponentially within and around us without removing them from somewhere else, and that we exist and live because of harmony...the intersection and interference of elements and energies; intersection is harmony. Adam has left the chauvinistic association of harmony and rhythm with music behind, and are essential elements in all of his work…sonic and extra-sonic.
