The Voyager Clarissa Connelly SKU: CCMUSIC03LP Barcode: 5051142008275 15.00 £15.00 Genre: Folk Label: CCM Released Date: 2nd April 2021 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info The Copenhagen-based, Scottish-born composer Clarissa Connelly’s music is evocative of the whimsical and almost child-like, tainted by an undercurrent of dark sensuality, disquietude and existential dread. Characterized by complex arrangements, big compounded chords, as well as a broad array of instruments, effects and sounds, her songs orient the listener towards utopian beauty that lie somewhere between the baroque and the primordial. With an experimental approach to vocal techniques, her voice can manifest benevolent fay-like creatures as easily as banshees and maleficent spirits singing melodies that retain the accessibility typically associated with pop-music. The compositions are lyrically and aesthetically grounded in Celtic folklore and Scandinavian vitalism. The threshold between the mundane and the fantastical are accentuated in her work, in such a way that the pursuit for – and the ability to recognize – real beauty in the world become anchored in the realm of work, everyday anxiety, motivation, human brilliance and failure. With forthcoming album The Voyager, Connelly sets out to not only to study the relationship between nature and music, but also its relationship with time. She says: “I’ve always been especially excited about times in the north before Christianity came, and how the Pagan culture and Christianity became intertwined in people through rituals and formations in the landscape – burial mounds, passage graves, dolmens, etc.” She continues: “In some way, it’s very difficult to translate nature into an understandable movement of change. Looking at a mountain I often view a still picture of time – a moment right now – but sometimes, I can look at the mountain and see millions of years of change and movement. I believe that this point of view can be assisted by art and music. In a landscape ornamented with ruined Viking fortresses or ancient burial mounds, I find that I, for whatever reason, seem to be able to perceive time and comprehend history (the history of nature and culture) as a series of changes in a more salient way.” It is here that The Voyager derives so much of its power. It roots itself in history, mythology, capable of intertwining and unravelling both past and present. Songs such as Holler and The Hills Are Crying – opening and closing tracks on the album, respectively – conjure images of these ancient Danish sites, offering something more than just a fluid, long-forgotten way, and instead a tangible reverie that can educate, engage and thrill in equal measure. Connelly explains: “I have the idea, that the mystical and fantastical nature of these olden barrows and ruins can kindle a more dynamic and historically informed perspective. I think that an understanding of time as a movement is articulated when looking at the landscape in this way and can maybe bring us out of our little bell jar, and into a greater experience of life as a whole.” The Voyager is released in conjunction with an app Vandringen (released 27 september 2020), conceived and created by Clarissa Connelly – along with the contributions of 21 other Danish musicians, painters, sculptures, performers – which highlights special ancient Danish locations, not viewable on Google Maps. These locations are presented with local knowledge and a number of them are interpreted for the modern day by the creatives involved. Connelly concludes: “I am very eager to write music that sounds like something that is happening now but has also happened a very long time ago. I have always found it fascinating to view history through changes in the landscapes around us, and therefore I started created this app and wrote this album.” Artist Clarissa Connelly Genre Folk Label CCM Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Holler Bargain Walden Theresa Latitude Longitude Mother And Daddy The Fallen Land Shallow Water A Grain Of Sand The Hills Are Crying Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Clarissa Connelly and more from Folk View Product Quick View Clarissa Connelly World of Work Leftfield / Experimental | Warp | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th April 2024 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Clarissa Connelly World of Work £23.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP370 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beoga Live At Stockfisch Studio Folk | Stockfisch | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 22nd December 2010 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Beoga Live At Stockfisch Studio £24.00 Genre: Folk Label: Stockfisch SKU: SFR35780531 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 22nd December 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tim Buckley Goodbye And Hello – Mono Folk | Rhino | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 28th July 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tim Buckley Goodbye And Hello – Mono £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Rhino SKU: 0081227937867 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 28th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Davy Graham The Guitar Player Folk | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 1st March 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Davy Graham The Guitar Player £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2316 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jim Croce Life And Times Folk | BMG | 180g, 1LP Released 26th March 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jim Croce Life And Times £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: BMG SKU: 4050538630657 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 26th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bert Jansch Avocet (Ltd Art Print Edition) Folk | Earth Records | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 27th October 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bert Jansch Avocet (Ltd Art Print Edition) £28.00 Genre: Folk Label: Earth Records SKU: EARTHLP010 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bert Jansch Living In The Shadows Folk | Earth Records | 4LP, Box Set Released 27th January 2017 £51.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bert Jansch Living In The Shadows £51.00 Genre: Folk Label: Earth Records SKU: EARTHLP014 Formats: 4LP, Box Set Released Date: 27th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fionn Regan The Meetings Of The Waters Folk | Abbey Records | 1LP Released 19th July 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fionn Regan The Meetings Of The Waters £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Abbey Records SKU: ABBEYLP171 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cara Dillon A Thousand Hearts Folk | Sony Music | 1LP Released 10th July 2014 £18.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Cara Dillon A Thousand Hearts £18.00 Genre: Folk Label: Sony Music SKU: 88843069481 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th July 2014 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Bert Jansch From The Outside Folk | Earth Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 7th June 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bert Jansch From The Outside £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Earth Records SKU: EARTHLP013 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 7th June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Faustus/Benji Kirkpatrick Faustus/Boomerang Folk | Navigator | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released 30th August 2008 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Faustus/Benji Kirkpatrick Faustus/Boomerang £10.00 Genre: Folk Label: Navigator SKU: NAVIGATOR5LP Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released Date: 30th August 2008 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
