Trill Scan - Vinyle 180Gr

Description

T. Gowdy returns with a major statement and luminous stylistic expansion on his third album for Constellation. Trill Scan is an exquisite suite of songs about alchemy, literally and figuratively, where Gowdy intertwines his background in choral and medieval music with his trademark analog electronics. Following 2022’s acclaimed Miracles, T. Gowdy’s new album exceeds all expectations by putting the human voice front and center for the first time. Choral tracks and solo vocals, along with his own lute playing, are new elements in Gowdy’s work, drawing on medieval polyphony and baroque *style brisé* to distinguish Trill Scan from anything else in his discography to date. The haunting final song explicitly invokes Gowdy’s pursuit of materialized abstraction and substantive musical immanence borne of his own psychotherapeutic subjectivity, summing up the album’s turn towards more harmonic, historicized and humanistic elements. Trill Scan blends earthly and celestial electronics to genuinely original and captivating effect.
