NEVER SOL

Producer, vocalist, and sound artist Never Sol released her third full-length album Rest Your Wound On Mine in April. The album follows the EP Tell The Sea I'm Coming Back and the single LEON, and emerged from a gradual exploration of forms that the musician has investigated in recent years - improvisation on modular synthesizers during live performance played a key role.

"I eventually returned to songwriting because it feels natural to me. But this time it comes from a process where I gradually deconstructed the compositions into looser abstraction and reassembled them. Improvisation allowed me to respond to time, space, and the listener. I think the material reached a form that works," says Never Sol.

The album was created primarily on a Prophet 8 synthesizer and modular systems combined with vocal effects. Heavily processed vocals with prominent noise and distortion accompany evolving synthesizer textures. The key single Accord was recorded during a residency at Grey Nivas in New York with vocals from American musician Monika Khot (Nordra). The opening tracks PATTI and Swamp were created during an organ residency at Atrium Žižkov, With All was recorded entirely live. The more ambient IHYD was created at the Vintage Synthesizer Museum in Los Angeles, while the studio pieces Rose Garden and Naked Waters work with striking tonal shifts and dense sound textures.
