Simon McCorry is a British cellist inspired by the works of Aphex Twin. Which explains a lot. On his June album Border Land, he included long minutes of string music and sadness.
The album's strength is its dark minimalism. Most of the time is occupied by the mawkish howling of the cello accompanied only by reverbs or subtle drones. But don't be mistaken, the artist manages to create some wonderful and engaging music chaos as well, especially in Awakening. Another helpful thing in his work is the use of field recordings from the very far North of the United Kingdom audible in Sacred Geometries and Not One Thing.
The atmosphere is only proven by this interesting story about the latter: "There is a recording taken from wind blowing through a metal gate to a lighthouse on Noup Head. The gate was singing. It had three holes either from missing screws or where it rusted in the elements. These emitted three different pitches which interacted in an unpredictably pleasant way".
Border Land costs 7.99 GBP.
