Laura Chislett invites you to explore the intricate interplay of nature and artistry on her captivating album, "In Two Minds," set to release on February 9, 2024, under the Métier label. Spanning a concise yet immersive 54 minutes, this album is a testament to Chislett's unique ability to blend the organic sounds of the natural world with the evocative power of visual art.
The journey begins with the serene sounds of Australian bell birds at "Pre Dawn and Dawn," seamlessly transitioning into the rhythmic pulse of "Guten Morgan, Herr Kandinsky!" Each track is a carefully crafted homage to both the natural environment and the artistic masters who have shaped our visual landscape. From the dynamic energy of "Boom Time - Bitterns at Leighton Moss" to the contemplative stillness of "New York - New York Mark Rothko - Jackson Pollock," Chislett's compositions are a symphony of contrasts and harmonies.
The album's midpoint offers a moment of tranquility with "Lake Eacham Blue," a track that mirrors the calm and clarity of its namesake. As the album progresses, the sounds of nature and art continue to intertwine, culminating in the hauntingly beautiful "Dusk - Night Lyrebirds."
"In Two Minds" is not just an album; it's an experience that challenges the listener to perceive the world through a new lens, where the boundaries between nature and art are beautifully blurred. Laura Chislett's masterful compositions make this a release that will resonate long after the final note fades.
