Reference Library is a new series of releases from Cotton
Goods, taking the bespoke packaging to even further heights of
loveliness. We should really stress how gorgeous these look -
the CD is attached to a hardback cover inside handmade boxes
lined with rough grained tissue paper and attached info sleeve
- a bespoke, genuine labour of love worthy of the delicate
sounds within. 'An Inch Of Air' is a collaboration between The
Humble Bee aka Craig Tattersall ov The Boats and The Remote
Viewer, and Whisperer aka Emmanuel Witzhum, a respected Viola
player and member of the Parisian Ensemble Intercontemporain.
Together they've crafted a suite of gorgeous burred
neo-classical strings and submerged electronics with the most
endearingly shy and introverted manners. In just under an hour
they conjure 12 tracks of intimately blissed, yet lonely and
bleak moods, perpetually shifting focus under changing
atmospheric weather systems to feel at the mercy of some
unknown, overarching presence. From the Paavoharju-like
small-sound blur of 'Tiniest Smile' to the ferric eroded drone
topography of 'The Incredible Softness', into the
anachronistic meld of folk strings and majestic miniature
electronic symphony of 'Timelessness And Time', and the
pastoral cadence of 'A Stranded Star', we're left heart in
mouth and completely at their will. Beautiful material - no
snoozing with this one.
