Luthier Paul Davies and violinist Sarah Curro were directly responsibly for the direction my music took during the last five years. Thanks to them I embarked on my five-year project Atmosphere.
It’s very interesting to talk to them about their backgrounds and their philosophies concerning the modern music world. So I made a radio documentary about it. It’s a very intriguing discussion with some intriguing viewpoints. Listen here.
Atmosphere. That word has a few meanings for me. First of all it’s the project that I’ve been working on for the last five years. Atmosphere - The first of eight pieces of music that build up an emotional arc, an ambience, a story without words. Those pieces make up the new BOSKER album Curious. A sound-world that transports the listener away from reality to wherever your daydreams take you.
Here is a video of Sarah Curro performing the third piece of the album. At that stage it didn’t even have a name yet. Now it does - Phoenix. In this video Sarah plays a semi-acoustic Spur violin created by Paul Davies.
In 2015 I decided to take a year off from recording engineering and just focus on composing. I was very lucky to meet two remarkable people, violinist Sarah Curro and luthier Paul Davies. Sarah and Paul are so inspiring that they set me on a musical journey that I didn’t see coming. An amazing new electric violin. A fantastic violinist. And eight atmospheric and lush electronic pieces that send you on a journey. Five years in the making, the album Atmosphere is released mid 2020. It all began in Melbourne when my mind was blown in Paul’s workshop…
