APL026 >> ARRIAL - THIS IS MY BEAUTY, SHOW ME YOURS
[02.11.2004 | ACOUSTIC PERSONALITY POP]
--------------------------------------------------------------
A fresh artist hailing from the British Island is Arrial,
whose demo arrived just about 6 weeks ago. His first release
for Autoplate consists of three fine classic guitar songs
mixed up with sparse, yet playful and effective electronic
elements.
I got my first spanish guitar at the age of 5. No idea what
prompted me to want it but it's been my lifelong companion
ever since - even through the years that it spent in its case
gathering dust in the corner of an unused room while I fiddled
around with synths, samplers and all that gubbins. Eventually
I returned to where I started - the sounds of the spanish
guitar. Realising that you don't need to spend hours looking
for a brand new sound in the dark recesses of some complex
sound module was an epiphany, and I haven't looked back since.
I began recording guitar tunes, layer them, loop them, feed
them through malfunctioning effects units and mix them up with
various beats. There's no sound more beautiful than a freshly
strung spanish guitar. I love to play the spanish guitar, I
love to dance, I live in the city but dream of the sky and of
the sea. I am always striving for the feeling of stillness that
you get when you are underwater or when you are standing at the
edge of a mountain. You can hear this in the tracks mixed in
with the tension and claustrophobia inherent in living and
working in a hyper-urban environment.
Mar, Revisitar is a reworking of one of my first ever tracks -
the first time I realised that you could write a good tune just
with a classical guitar and a drum machine. It's completely pure
without a single treatment of the guitar sounds at all. Elements
of Chicane, Globo and Happy Mondays intertwine to evoke the
insistent, gentle lapping of the sea at your feet in the night-
time.
Blank Holiday Monday originated in a melody I love to play and
often makes my partner melt. It's about feeling dazed after a
particularly heavy night and lying on a couch, or better still
in a hammock, watching the day go by. When just thinking about
the night before makes you smile and gives you palpitations and
you crave just a few mouthfuls of curry. And then have to lie
back down again.
Shiver. That shivering sound comes from my mixer feeding back -
maybe it's warning me off doing any more tracks verging on being
rock ballads. Or maybe it was as excited by the melody as I am.
Maybe the shiver is what happens when you are waiting for the
night bus home. Or maybe it's that sigh and sudden rush of
goosepimples you get when your lover strokes you with a feather.
