: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: The Giving Shapes is a collaborative project between :,
: harpist/vocalist Elisa Thorn and pianist/vocalist Robyn Jacob :
:' that formed in fall 2017 at the Banff Centre for the Arts. This ':
,: is the duoÆs first release. :,
: :
:' This project triangulates aspects of new music, creative music, ':
,: and song-writing, combining their classical training and their :,
: involvement with the Canadian creative and indie music scenes. :
:' Though they originally met while both pursuing degrees in ':
,: classical music at UBC in 2007, they share an interest in many :,
: musical styles. Their sound reflects broad influences from :
:' artists including Nico Muhly, Bjork, Jonny Greenwood, David ':
,: Lang, and Caroline Shaw. :,
: :
:' Thorn and Jacob are interested in merging the familiar with the ':
,: new, and draw from their wide range of influences to create :,
: music that is honest. Their approach involves equal parts of :
:' intellect and feeling, pursuing both accessibility and ':
,: experimentation equally. The process of songwriting varies from :,
: song to song, but usually one of them brings in a kernel, and :
:' the two develop parts together, parts on their own, then back ':
,: to different possibilities together. :,
: :
:' ôThe piano and the harp are a really interesting match because ':
,: they are so related in timbre and function, but individual :,
: enough to offer each unique sound palate. The possibilities of :
:' blend, texture, and harmonic depth are really exciting. Robyn ':
,: is an endless inspiration to me in all the things that she does. :,
: We have quite different approaches to writing (Robyn is more :
:' rhythm and pattern-based, whereas I am driven mostly by melody ':
,: and harmony) so the collaborative writing process is really :,
: interesting and stimulating.ö (Elisa Thorn) :
:' ':
,: "I like Elisa's integrity and devotion to her artwork, and her :,
: attitude in general as a musician and an artist. Also, it is a :
:' privilege to be able to make art with one of your best ':
,: friends." (Robyn Jacob) :,
: :
:' The Giving Shapes is a synthesis of their shared musical ':
,: aesthetic and curiosity with their long-standing relationship as :,
: co-curators and presenters. Music from the duoÆs projects has :
:' been featured in jazz festivals such as the Montreal and ':
,: Toronto Jazz Festivals, new music festivals like Music on Main, :,
: and indie pop festivals including the Campbell Bay Music :
:' Festival. ':
,: :,
: The duo's sincere yet polished, cool yet warm, celestial yet :
:' humane approach towards sounds is integrated into a single ':
,: intimate world of music with everything impeccably balanced. :,
: Thorn's and Jacob's ethereal voices convey subtle emotions, :
:' gently unfolding the narrative of their personal world into a ':
,: unique space where the acoustic beauty of classical music and :,
: the accessibility of pop music humbly entwine around each other. :
