Salt

by Martin A. Smith

supported by

Benjamin Burnes Matrin's somnambulant album evokes sparse imagery, scenes of beaches and empty (but well-used) rooms compel me to focus and not just passively listen. The ambiance in this album is wrapped up with rich harmonics and thoughtful, patient near-silence. Favorite track: Fleur De Sel.

about

Salt is an audio visual evocation of the drowned landscape of the Camargue, inspired by the land, sea, fauna, flora and traditions of the area as well as writers and historical characters such as Lawrence Durrell, Frédéric Mistral and King René of Anjou.

Salt continues an ongoing exploration of the sprit of place and the concepts of society and landscape. It delves into these themes and presents aspects of culture, locality and nature as an integrated evolving whole.
