As a conductor, curator and arranger, Robert Ames is an important mediator between classical tradition and contemporary music "Most of the album was written and recorded between April and May 2019 in my small studio in the Peak District," explains Robert Ames. “I relied on sounds from my childhood. The echo of choirs and organs in large rooms, distant church bells, grand symphonic gestures crackling through an old car radio and competing with the soft hum and rumble of the wheels on the street and the cacophony of the orchestras slowly setting in. I resisted the temptation to use recognizable tempos and time signatures to convey a sense of timelessness. I like the idea that each track sounds like it's going on a never-ending journey and what's recorded is just a snapshot of something much longer. Als Dirigent, Kurator und Arrangeur ist Robert Ames ein wichtiger Vermittler zwischen klassischer Tradition und zeitgenössischer Musik „Der Großteil des Albums wurde zwischen April und Mai 2019 in meinem kleinen Studio im Peak District geschrieben und aufgenommen“, erklärt Robert Ames. „Ich habe mich auf Geräusche aus meiner Kindheit gestützt. Das Echo von Chören und Orgeln in großen Räumen, entfernte Kirchenglocken, große symphonische Gesten, die durch eine alte Autoradio knistern und mit dem leisen Summen und Rumpeln der Räder auf der Straße und der Kakophonie der Orchester konkurrieren, die sich langsam einstellen. Ich widerstand der Versuchung, erkennbare Tempi und Taktarten zu verwenden, um ein Gefühl der Zeitlosigkeit zu vermitteln. Ich mag die Idee, dass jeder Track so klingt, als würde er sich auf eine unendliche Reise begeben, und was aufgenommen wird, ist nur eine Momentaufnahme von etwas viel längerem.
