V. Sinclair - Metamorphosis [Listening Event]

July 2, 2016
7:00 pm
*This is a special event and will start at 7pm sharp!* -Listening Event- "Contour of the vase, of the rose a silhouette offers the same profile The practice may fade but remains in tact "An empty apartment" life is life - nothing more, nothing less. Patient and committed Valentine Sinclair's newest release walks the listener through meditations on the abstract, concrete, and esoteric themes of transformation. Employing recurrent sounds to emphasize this idea, each nuanced piece seamlessly lends to the former & vice verse accumulating to form a well rounded structure. This extensive effort of a body of work realized over the course of eight months - three seasons "Metamorphosis" is a deep immersive listen that aptly exhibits the growth and maturing nature of the project. Recorded in Providence, RI 2015-2016." Clandestine Compositions 11
