What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Ant feeling ecstatic.

What a pleasant surprise to get a follow up to 'Discourses Of The Withered' on Infraction from happy couple Will and Danielle Baquet-Long duo Celer. 'The Everything And The Nothing' is in a sister release to Discourses, being a collection of outtakes and ephemera from the sessions. 13 tracks of pure ambient bliss with silky tones lighting the air then gently retreating until the next wave. The sounds of field recordings and unidentifiable sound sources lurk in the distance among the detailed layers of sound. Gorgeous stuff and a pretty essential partner if you got the first disc. Ltd to 300 copies in digipak with lovely photography from Danielle. How these two lovebirds manage to make such beautiful music together is a mystery to me. If My lady and I tried making tracks together we'd end up scratching each others eyes out...

What the label says:

Out now.. Celer is a husband (Will) and wife (Danielle) duo from California that use a variety of strings as the basis for their sound. Cello, viola, violin and the sounds are mixed in with field recordings, choir, live theremin and then tape spliced and re-assembled in varying lengths to create a loop base. Those sounds are then sampled, layered and processed. The result is a shimmering orchestra. Periods of silence between the notes only enhance the sound. Though at times very haunting, it's brightly hazy ambient. Initially "Discourses..." was to be 1 full-length CD with a bonus CDR ("The Everything and the Nothing") to accompany the first 100 copies. When Celer presented the bonus material, with field recordings mixed in obtained by Danielle over several months in India, the quality of the material was so high that it was suggested and agreed to instead be a concurrent release of two full-length discs. Edition of 300. [INFX 028]
