Sarah Davachi - Two Sisters (Vinyl)
$79.00
Regular price $55.00Two Sisters by Sarah Davachi is a collection of extended compositions for chamber ensemble and solo pipe organ including carillon, choir, string quartet, low woodwinds, and trombone quartet, alongside sine tones and electronic drones.
The Canadian-born and Los Angeles-based composer has prowess in both analog and digital mediums, and has centered her practice around the push and play between the two. Her records are largely about the art of making, whatever instruments at her disposal often inform the intent before she shapes them into tangible statements of purpose. They also are largely about Davachi as a musician: Recurring motifs and approaches appear across her body of work. While some of that comes naturally to modern classical music, it's clear that there is intention behind these moves. Her latest LP entitled Two Sisters continues this practice to great effect.
Sarah Davachi is an artist that understands the power of conceptual thinking. The title is borrowed from dialogue in the 1981 film Possession in which Isabelle Adjani’s character describes her psychological state as being a battle between “two sisters of faith and chance.” While not directly inspired by the content of the film itself, Davachi applies a like-minded intention in two fold with the instrumentation and sequencing. Far from a concept album in the traditional sense, Two Sisters is instead another demarcation of her continued mastery of composition.
Tracklist:
1. Hall Of Mirrors
2. Alas, Departing
3. Vanity Of Ages
4. Icon Studies I
5. Harmonies In Bronze
6. Harmonies In Green
7. Icon Studies II

9. O World And The Clear Song

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
