{"product_id":"matt-gold_devotional-fade_2026_lba","title":"Devotional Fade","description":"Matt Gold and Dustin Laurenzi present Devotional Fade, a collaborative album of electro-acoustic rhythmic improvisations - at the crossroads of meditation and dance.Laurenzi and Gold, key figures in Chicago's creative scene and collaborators with artists of varied influences such as Bill Callahan and Makaya McCraven, here deliver a major work, the fruit of long improvisation sessions capturing their hypnotic interaction. It is the sound of two of Chicago's most vibrant instrumental voices, in deep listening, in sonic communion.Recorded in the studio set up under Laurenzi's attic, Devotional Fade is the result of weekly sessions spread over a month. The duo recorded continuously each day, selecting different immersive sound worlds, oscillating between patient, sacred minimalism and a wild sonic explosion, tailor-made for the dancefloor. The duo defined two parameters to intensify the stakes of the sessions: editing would be kept to a minimum, and a rule prohibiting pitch-altered overdubs was established, thus ensuring that all melodic and harmonic gestures would be performed in real time. Laurenzi and Gold adhered to this rule, only very rarely adding a shaker or brush to these already largely accomplished improvisations. Devotional Fade is imbued with a gentle propulsion and ecstatic repetition.Matt Gold is a guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer based in Chicago.
