Jem Finer (hurdy-gurdy) and John Matthias (violin) at St. Mary's Church, Felpham last Saturday, playing music from their forthcoming album, "Almost Starlight". https://touch333.bandcamp.com/album/almost-starlight Touch will be hosting a Bandcamp listening party on album launch day, September 4th at 7pm BST. Links to everything in bio, album can be found here: Produced by Jay Auborn and recorded in a medieval church, deep in the Devon countryside, in the summer of 2025, the music is suffused with light, heat and the natural acoustics of the space. "Almost Starlight" defies categorisation; forced to pigeonhole it the nearest approximation would be ‘modern-classical’ but this ignores its myriad influences and explorations which encompass inspiration from Arvo Pärt through Terry Riley to Can via Delius, Alice Coltrane and a subtle reimagining of electronic music played purely with acoustic instruments, bending and shaping their possibilities in surprising and unexpected directions.
