Lucida

Out today is the latest release from Lucida entitled “The Unexamined Life Isn’t Worth Thinking About” on the Two Left Hands On Two Right Arms netlabel. What to expect is a mix between environmental sounds and acoustic instruments. Or with Richard Harvey’s own words: I’m interested in exploring a mix of music and environmental sounds. Not only for providing some “ambient” context for a piece like so many “campfire tapes” type albums, but to evoke some kind of collective memory. Assembled by Chard in London (UK) in the spring & summer of 2008 from various field recordings (Paris, France; Como, Italy & Gorre, France) with music by Chard (music box), Geraint (guitar) and Kye (piano).
