SARAH PAGÉ & PATRICK GRAHAM TO RELEASE LITTORAL STATES ON ENVISION RECORDS
ALBUM OUT JANUARY 24, 2025 ON ENVISION RECORDS
Littoral States is a shifting, reciprocal project that explores affinities beyond time, place, tradition and medium. Montreal musicians Sarah Pagé and Patrick Graham employ a unique array of instruments (including harp, bass koto, sarangi, waterphone, hamon, Nano Garden and electronics) to evoke abstracted textures from deep within the anthropocene. Working in close collaboration with Brussels-based visual artist Tamar Kasparian, the album hangs together as six interwoven sonic compositions accompanied by beautifully integrated artwork. The wordless music carries the listener through a series of heady atmospheres, balancing a sense of urgency with an open-ended reflexivity. Littoral States is rooted in a profound sense of affinity, awe and anguish for the natural world.
