------Sirisat - Celestial |
| STYLE |
|
Tranquil new age songs with restful beats and chilled instrumentation. Singing lyrics sourced mostly from Indian texts and traditional materials, Sirisat places these words in a comfortable modern context delivering them softly, tenderly and with Western expression. Gentle pianos, flutes, strings and acoustic guitars provide melodic focal points that intersperse Julia Claire's vocals - synthetic washes and marginals thickening the mix. The music is all downtempo, relaxing drum tracks combining Eastern and Western sounds in a smooth blend. |

| MOOD |
|
Light and clear - Celestial aims to relax the listener and to provide uplifting vibes. The sound is very easy going with pleasant harmony holding centre stage throughout, synthetic atmospheres and spoken words create a lulling tone at times. |

| ARTWORK |
|
Suffused with light, the whole package is backed in white - soft, tangerine hued images carefully combined with orange/brown text. The front cover image shows the artist with hands outstretched among falling petals, the rear picks out just a hand reaching skyward track titles diagonally running alongside. An eight page booklet sits inside the jewelcase with an explanation of the project in both Spanish and English. Lyrics to all tracks are also provided spread across four panels. The final page holds credits and contact details. |

| OVERALL |
|
This album is primarily the work of English born Julia Claire (AKA Sirisat) whose musical career has seen her based both in the UK and Spain. Previously involved with dance music and then lead vocalist and lyric writer with Carles Reig's new age group, "Terra" - Julia and Carles eventually set up the current project Ohm Spirit Sound. Through this arrangement musician/composer Reig has helped bring the current album to fruition, providing instrumental and production/arrangement assistance. Celestial is twinned with the album Mantra Chill out that provides abbreviated "radio" versions of the same songs plus a few extras. |
