With her latest release ‘All Things Lost‘, British composer Laurel Violet offers up a poignant soundscape awash in pensive beauty.
Unfurling gently with solemn piano, soft strings soon enter and a mood of tender melancholy swiftly takes hold. However, despite its somewhat melancholic air, Violet’s classically-inclined electronics impart a certain uplifting quality – a sense of hard-won hope arising from grief.
As the song flows on waves of fluttering percussion and gently weeping electronic tones, her background in Bristol’s underground electronic scene can be keenly felt even amidst the work’s neoclassical leanings. Like crystals forming in dark water, there is a quiet transformation at play here – a process of change and renewal hinted at in Violet’s very moniker.
