MONIKA BUGAJNY & GARETH DAVIS

ON THE EDGE OF SHADOWS

“On The Edge Of Shadows” is the new album by Monika Bugajny & Gareth Davis, that focusses on clarinet drones. Well, it sounds that easy and it is: clarinet, bass clarinett and contrabass clarinet are the main instruments on the album and they create a warm and slowly unfolding soundwall.

You can compare the sounds with the artwork, showing the giant trees with all those boughs, taking over the image surface. The sounds do the same, not in a menacing way, more embracing with a warm feeling. The album got mastered by Francis Gri.

After releasing “Nótt” and “Werl3”, this album is one more reason to appreciate the majestic drone sounds of clarinets.

“On The Edge Of Shadows” comes in an edition of 60 copies on flat white tapes with onbody prints on both sides. All housed in black and white o-cards with matte finish.
