:: Announcing :: Odu: Vibration II from Chris Williams (AKP039) on digital and limited run vinyl September 26th. The first single “Visage (feat. Kalia Vandever)" is out now.
Striking a balance between drifting levity and sculpted form, Odu: Vibration II melds a trio of horns with glacial synthesizers to evoke a music of slow emergence and ecstatic possibility.
Culled from a live performance at Roulette Intermedium, the album features multi-instrumentalist & composer Patrick Shiroishi and Grammy Award-winning trombonist and composer Kalia Vandever, whose distinct voices amplify the record’s layered emotional spectrum. The result is a glossy yet fragile composite of breath, tone, and texture: billowing horns, filtered bells, and digital haze converge in waves of static and dissonance.
