Bygones

by Mathieu Karsenti

supported by

Lost Tribe Sound Incredibly poised and moving piece of contemporary classical. I don’t often compare to the likes of these acts, but this brings to mind From The Mouth of the Sun, Drombeg, and even Sven Laux.

about

Bygones is Mathieu Karsenti’s fond farewell to his adoptive home of London after twenty-seven years living and working in the city, as the award-winning film composer moves on to pastures new. Mathieu has extended and refined the musical language of Downstream Blue, his debut on the label, into a stirringly cinematic yet exquisitely restrained suite of eight neo-classical impressions, each dedicated to a moment, encounter, love or loss experienced during his time in one of the most diverse, richly textured and complex human environments on earth.

Slowcraft digital series Lifelines is curated by label founder James Murray, presenting vital and consoling works from world class genre-defying artists, each carefully mastered by Ian Hawgood and individually paired with bespoke artwork by printmaker June Murray.

Lifelines. Hold tight.

Selected Press:

"Although a composer for film, Mathieu Karsenti is on the same wavelength as the best of our Ambient Musicians."
Chuck van Zyl, Star's End

starsend.org/DownstreamBlueBygones.html

"Il tocco cinematico dell’artista inglese definisce così partiture orchestrali di luminoso, compassato romanticismo."
Raffaello Russo, Music Won't Save You

musicwontsaveyou.com/2020/10/28/musictosave-008/

"D’une beauté aussi viscérale que poignante, d’une vérité aussi émouvante que lucide et limpide, Bygones dévoile ses huit étapes dans une parfaite cohérence."
Raphaël Duprez, Punktum

Sallaw
by Porya Hatami | Aaron Martin | Roberto Attanasio

supported by 14 fans who also own “Bygones”

...Yet beyond crafting four distinct atmospheres, it's the evolution of each piece, the change in seasonal sound, that makes Sallaw such an excellent piece of story-telling. Rather than shown the imagery upfront, the listener is instead guided, and left with space to explore on their own. The ability of the trio's minimal musical writing to evoke such a coherent subject is made all the more impressive by the subtlety with which it is achieved.

Notes On Belonging
by Tiny Leaves

Inspired by the Welsh notion of “cynefin,” which is thematically similar to the LP’s title, “Notes on Belonging” is both warm and wistful. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 16, 2017
