We’ve released a new EP from and .clees titled Mémoires for Solo Vibraphone. It’s a beautiful suite of 3 pieces written by Tristan and performed by Arthur, in memory of Jambal bassist Maxime Peter Igisch, who tragically passed in a car crash weeks before the release of the bands debut album. Says Tristan of the music and his friend Maxime: “These pieces…are an attempt to capture the mystery and newness of our musical explorations during our collaboration and also the feelings of nostalgia and distance I feel when recalling them. I hope to carry Maxime’s adventurous and open spirit with me for my whole life and these compositions are my thank you to him for this beautiful gift.”

We are excited to announce Cycling, the new single from Tristan de Liège and Gregory Allison . Listen on bandcamp and pre-order the full album A Light For Dark Moments. The piece was born out of making very short and fast loops with Gregory’s violin, and blending the resulting sound with Tristan’s naturalistic beats. Riding bicycles is a favorite activity of these two artists and this piece evokes the characteristic feeling of freedom while riding, imagining one is flying through the air, untethered to the earth, experiencing a complete freedom of movement.

It’s Holy Volcano’s very first album release day and we’re happy to share PORTAL, the debut solo album from ! Available on bandcamp and all streaming services.

Portal is a sonic and cinematic exploration of the movement of energy through the seven chakras of the body. The title of each track refers to the energy that is held within each chakra, as described by yogic philosophy. The album was created using layers of acoustic violins and violas performed by Allison, who, in each of these six compositions, creates an expansive orchestral soundscape that gives textural and rhythmic support to intimately charged violin improvisations.

“There are very specific sensorial experiences I had during that time that are sonically represented in the album, including the sounds of the dawn chorus, the colors and feeling of the sun rising to a new day, and the melting away of all thoughts and tensions and falling into a singular, white, vibrating light.”

The composition process for all the songs on the album began with a live solo performance in mind. Using live looping techniques, Allison generated repetitive rhythmics and large sonic textures as the base for carefully crafted melodies. The sound of the album moves from a string quartet to a string chamber orchestra.

“Portal” lies at at the heart of the journey from the material realm to the astral. Everything must pass through the heart in the search for a higher consciousness. The song takes the form of a pizzicato loop with haunting and whispered violin that aches to be released from the confines of it’s own body. The solo instrument is then overtaken by wide orchestral chords which melancholically wash away all that was before.

Portal is a sonic exploration of the seven centers of awakening. With violin- and viola-based compositions that move from intimate melodies to wide orchestral soundscapes, each track on the album represents an energy center in the body, a Chakra in Yogic philosophy, in which is held certain energies that we're either aware of or are in the dark about. The music is an expression of the transmutation of those energies from the lower forms of the material plane, through the portal of the heart, and into the astral realm.

With the pre-sale purchase comes the first track, Arise. You will receive notice to download the full album when it is released on June 11.
