{"product_id":"faten-kanaan-diary-of-a-candle","title":"Faten Kanaan - Diary of a Candle","description":"\u003cp\u003eMinimal and nuanced, Diary of a Candle is a consoling, melodic suite from acclaimed experimental composer, musician, and producer Faten Kanaan. On this album Faten uses counterpoint as a narrative tool to create music that is mysterious, smudgy, and deeply melodic. From the repetitive structures of modern minimalism and early music\/baroque influences - to more languid textural ebbs and tides, there's a warmth in her use of synthesizers that gives her work a curiously timeless feel. Composing intuitively, her music creates its own world - one that isn't easily categorised.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiary of a Candle is punctuated with tender woodwinds and richly-layered strings, touched by the hazy atmospheres of 1970s\/1980s films. Its understated heart-on sleeve romanticism follows the rhythm of nature: it bends in the breeze, drifts through the air, and settles on the ground. The ambiance is not an escapism, but the re-focusing of a lens through which humans are no longer the protagonists. Instead, a landscape's intimate details become the central figures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the sparseness of Hiroshi Yoshimura's 1982 album 'Music for Nine Post Cards' as a starting-point influence, Faten's music exudes a wistful yet hopeful sentiment, honouring moments of beauty in the world around us. Some of the album titles are inspired by East-Asian rites and folkloric superstitions, often related to nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll music written performed and mixed by Faten Kanaan.\u003cbr\u003eMastered by Heba Kadry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable on limited celadon green vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":64322655420793,"sku":null,"price":16.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/FatenKanaan-DiaryofaCandle_d7071fc7-e3b3-4ee0-abb8-8b352298a07e.jpg?v=1787902891","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/faten-kanaan-diary-of-a-candle","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
