Wake
A frequent collaborator with a wide range of artists including Jónsi of Sigur Rós and the late Jóhann Jóhannsson, Evan’s musical practice hones in on the minutiae of sound design as a tool for producing vast, highly emotive sonic wanderings. Cinematic in scale, his compositions speak to the human experience in a multitude of ways, in this case, tapping into the fragility of rebirth.
Wake is deeply personal account, documenting a turbulent period of self-recovery and exploring the power of collective empathy. Across six tracks, Evan considers complex notions of existentialism with a masterful ear for sonic arrangement.
The opening title track 'Wake' is an epic crescendo of melancholic arpeggios and harmonic progressions that builds into powerful, slow marching drums - verging on industrial, but firmly placed in the ether.
