ôCapriö by Celer is a beautiful 78-minute work, containing 29 tracks full of piano, strings, horns, acoustic
guitar, field recordings and the warm breeze of the Mediterranean sea.
All the material for this record was created on Capri, an Italian island on the south side of the Gulf of
Naples, during a short summer residency, giving the tracks a very mild and summery feeling. Listening
recalls walking near the harbor waves, the salty wind sweeping up the streets, the decayed dwellings set
against pristine resorts, and the deep colors of the Blue Grotto.
Field recording material is hidden, but in the foreground, just shaded and processed into a breeze. But the
warm droning and compact sound carries the spirit of summer-night on a island very, very well. Recorded
in a single room with a piano and a few borrowed instruments, and processed either outside a cafe or half
-sleeping during the stay, the resulting tracks are only quiet reflections of short experiences.
Like all Celer-releases you can hear these slowly evolving melodies, first hidden through a slight haze, but
getting sharper and clear by-and-by. Some of the shorter tracks are just sketches or fragments, found in
the streets blowing by, carried through the air to your ear. The sounds mirror the merest moments, where
every tone fits, is left to uncurl, each detail is well considered, and is set with a very high sensibility,
haunting the hills and harbor outside the quiet, sleeping Capri.
Limited 400 copies.
