{"product_id":"picture-a-frame","title":"Picture a Frame","description":"\u003cp\u003eDebut album by the Belgian composer Elisabeth Klinck, was born out of strict isolation and is nonetheless a result of a collaborative\nprocess that saw her working closely with artist Oscar Claus. Enriching her compositions for violin with electronic soundscapes and\nfield recordings from their surroundings, the two entered an artistic dialogue that took place inside its own idiosyncratic space outside of\nconventional time. It is an intimate record in which Klinck’s expressive playing that incorporates unconventional techniques forms the\nbasis of something much bigger: an invitation to inhabit a specific space at a specific time together with the two of them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor an entire\nweek in the spring of 2021, Klinck and Claus stayed at an abandoned monastery surrounded by beautiful gardens, but with no power or\nrunning water. The intention was to record some of Klinck’s musical ideas on violin, experiment with electronics and acoustic spaces\nand to get to know each other on a musical level. This proved to be an inspiring and deeply moving process—and the starting point for\nmore. In the winter of that year, the duo set out to the Spanish Pyrenees to build a DIY studio in a small village on a mountain top and\nrecord the eight pieces that form »Picture a Frame.« The idea of losing track of time and space is a theme that found its way in these\nrecordings. The two spent their days and nights reading, walking, talking, cooking and taking care of the animals living there but also\nexperimenting with sound, improvising together and making field recordings. This deep focus on being present in the moment, listening\nto the world around them and each other resulted in a holistic experience that was translated into music and sound. Klinck and Claus\nunderstand this album as a collage, an attempt to evoke the implicit, an essay that suggests a time and space, and a gentle collision\nbetween two people that deeply resonate with one another. It’s impossible to argue with that, and even harder not to be drawn into\nit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hallow Ground","offers":[{"title":"White LP","offer_id":50506690560331,"sku":"2022986","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/elisabeth_klinck_HG2303_da441582_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727827611","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/picture-a-frame","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
