Description
2022, 12″ LP, Clay Pipe Records. Turquoise vinyl.
‘Hearing The Water Before Seeing The Falls’ is Andrew Wasylyk’s second LP for the esteemed Clay Pipe Music label. The album is a refreshing, palette-cleansing exercise in instrumental beats, cinematic soundscapes, and seafaring adventure music; the Scottish artist is renowned for his sensitive ambient cinematic pieces, often complementing the works of visual artists. For example, this project saw Wasylyk travel across five continents before its making, visiting many of the locations that will suffer from climate change in much less than half a century from now. Cameo appearances on various instruments from Alabaster DePlume (Angus Fairbairn) appear across the album, while many more climactic string sequences occur like hesitant apparitions from ghosts of the sea. – Juno
