a picture of the house you once called home, the smell of white roses,
lavender in the garden and a sound too distant to recognise. anything
can and everything will trigger memories. fragments of sound have been
manipulated by the [law-rah] collective to tell a new story, to create
a new reality with everything you find on your way. this can be
anything from mental images to hidden emotions, from unknown smells to
forgotten dreams. everything transforms you into who you are now, in
this reality, at this moment. though it's not likely that every part of
who you are is the truth. your memories are your interpretation of the
truth and don't have to be truthfull at all.
as a child you played the game where one person tells a sentence and it
follows a chain of people. what comes out of it is a new sentence,
which very probably has nothing to do with the beginning. on their new
album 'solitaire' the [law-rah] collective is playing exactly that
game, albeit differently.
like on the 2008 ant-zen album 'inspiration', the duo martijn pieck and
bauke van der wal upped the ante with the collective's 7th full
release. sound wise they return to the collective's origins: a
combination of ambient structures and deep drones with sudden breaks in
the sound spectrum. 'solitaire's threatening and oppressive mood will
leave you in a state and in a place where you haven't been before. a
new reality which is more then the sum of its parts.
