Rose, Haroula -& Oliver Hill-
Cycles
As both a record and a series of short films, Haroula Rose and Oliver Hill have created a friendly, multi-faceted 'planete sauvage'. Written and recorded in one torrentially rainy week at home in Los Angeles, the music explores the acoustics of the tactile world: sounds coarse and smooth, heavy and light, the smell of wet terrain after a long drought, a long deep breath coming up from dark water to the surface. 'Cycles' presents earthy, bubbling spaces which are womblike and nourishing. Not surprisingly, 'Cycles' was conceived and completed in tandem with the birth of their first child.
