about

The Intimate Overlap is the first of two simultaneous album releases from Dutch based label Dronarivm/Fonodroom from the Scottish based sound artist and electro-acoustic musician o[rlawren] and almost nine years since the label issued his 2016 album Branches, a collaborative album with French guitarist Cyril Secq.

Active for over two decades in the electronic music scene, o[rlawren] has developed a distinctive and intuitive approach to emotional and intimate details that unfold in his electroacoustic constructions, documented in a string of solo and collaborative releases.

Working with field recordings, acousmatic and modular synthesis techniques, The Intimate Overlap is presented in a suite of two parts ‘a structure in naming’ and ‘a nearness to the world’ over four longform pieces covering the album’s 73 minute running time.

Created over a nine year period as a delicate micro-drama of shifting proximities, each holding onto their roots, folding, seeking nutrients, learning and unlearning.

An ecological relationship with micro sounds that are at once ecstatic, animated, tentative and visceral.

A neurodivergent yearning for new ways to connect, articulate and circulate. An ecology of the senses in a music used as language.

a structure in naming

i. rhizomatic choreography [primitivistic touch]
ii. senses as limbs [an agreement of footsteps]

a nearness to the world

iii. the rhythm of the dividing pair [tender aspect]

“Nāsūr” is the latest release by Iranian artist Arash Akbari. In Persian, nāsur (ناسور) refers to a chronic, suppurating wound—one that does not heal easily. It’s a wound we all carry within us, formed through sleepless nights, overthinking, and the weight of memories tied to the people we’ve lost... Pegah(@noir.notes.pegi)
