After decades of shaping electronic soundscapes, John Foxx unveils a new solo album of rare intimacy: Wherever You Are. This record, entirely composed and performed on piano, captures suspended moments, recorded at the first light of dawn, in the tranquility of his home. It is at dawn, when the mind frees itself from the mechanisms of self-criticism, that Foxx finds his purest space of expression. "It's the perfect time to play. Facing the window overlooking a valley surrounded by hills, where the sun rises, I let myself be carried away. The mist, the rain, the echoes of the past... everything comes back in fragments." In this delicate and refined work, each note becomes a bridge between memories and sensations, between yesterday and today. Foxx explores here a form of instinctive musical writing, where memory and imagination blend in a flow of subtle emotions. But Wherever You Are is also a tribute. A reflection on the voices that inhabit us, those of the beings who have crossed our lives and who, in one way or another, continue to guide us. "Each of those we have known influences, even slightly, our way of seeing and thinking. All these voices remain within us, in an infinite inner conversation. They provide us with landmarks, maps, the weather of our souls." Minimalist and deeply immersive, Wherever You Are is listened to like a chiaroscuro confession, a musical meditation of timeless beauty. A suspended moment where the intimate becomes universal.
