,: Esmerine is the modern chamber ensemble co-founded by former :,
: Silver Mt. Zion member Rebecca Foon and Godspeed You! Black :
:' Emperor alumnus Bruce Cawdron in the early 2000s, composing two ':
,: beloved albums of post-rock based around cello and mallet :,
: instruments on Madrona Records in 2003 and 2005. The group :
:' emerged from a semi-hiatus in 2010 and have made four acclaimed ':
,: full-length records of uniquely emotive, lyrical, exploratory :,
: instrumental music since then (all released by Constellation) û :
:' each marked by a distinct collaborative and thematic agenda. ':
,: :,
: Following the Turkish/near-Eastern exchange featured on Dalmak :
:' (2014 Juno winner for Instrumental Album Of The Year) and the ':
,: intense, rock-inflected Lost Voices (2016 Juno winner for Album :,
: Package Of The Year and finalist for Instrumental Album), :
:' Esmerine embarked on a soundtrack commission for the National ':
,: Film Board documentary "Freelancer on the Front Lines" (about :,
: independent journalism in the Middle East), which also led to a :
:' deep dive into archival and previously unreleased recordings ':
,: from the band's aforementioned early years. Sessions for the :,
: film soundtrack kept rolling organically throughout 2016-2017 :
:' (alongside Foon's own work on her Saltland solo project, whose ':
,: second album came out in March 2017), informed by anxiety over :,
: the reactionary, regressive, seemingly irresolvable disharmony :
:' of human oppression/domination, falsifying propaganda and ':
,: ever-accelerating degradation and denial of nature and social :,
: justice. :
:' ':
,: Mechanics Of Dominion is perhaps Esmerine's most dynamic and :,
: narratively-informed work, tracing an arc through Neo-Classical, :
:' Minimalist, Modern Contemporary, Folk, Baroque, Jazz and Rock ':
,: idioms to invoke lamentation, meditation, resolve, resistance :,
: and hope. It is a requiem for our intractably suffering planet :
:' and a paean to the inscrutable, essential dignity of indigenous ':
,: ethics and the natural world, and to modern human frailty and :,
: ingenuity. :
:' ':
,: Stylistically, Mechanics Of Dominion brings mallet instruments :,
: to the fore, with marimba, glockenspiel, piano and amplified :
:' music box providing a prominent foundation and through-line on ':
,: the album's diverse tracks. Multi-instrumentalist Brian :,
: Sanderson's contributions are also an ever greater part of :
:' Esmerine's songwriting û his stately melodic lines on horns and ':
,: acoustic strings are formidable elements in the ceremonious :,
: lyricism and keening vitality of this song cycle :
:' ':
