Reprise, by Prayer

Reprise

by Prayer

supported by

John Pavlick This album is for everyone. Piano is the true universal language; and here, Prayer demonstrates his fluency.

Anybody can arrange a sequence of thumps and squelches so as to work up a dancefloor - but Prayer touches something deeper, something much more human with his work.

That's always true, of course - but when you take away the barrage of snare drums, there's something else left. This is a whole album of "what's left", and it's more profound than anything else he's released so far. Favorite track: Memory Edits.

about

12" Vinyl in Hand-screen printed sleeve.
Designed and printed by Grade 10 International.
Includes three exclusive digital bonus edits from Kollaps.

Reprise is a body of piano work exploring the idea of thematic repetition and development, and the intimacy of the solo instrument that allows these ideas to be driven forward. The piano offers an environment in which the building pillars of music - melody, harmony, texture, and rhythm can be presented in a raw form, free from heavy processing, and throughout the work I was keen to explore them in a way that shows the instrument as vessel for delivering a wall of sound - Not just summed up by its elegance, but also in part defined by its imperfections.

The opening track ‘Mourning’ juxtaposes floating scalic passages with harsh arpeggio sforzandos, before a resting point is found in ‘Memory Edits’, which is based around the idea of build up and then sudden change. The third track ‘Silhouette’ consists entirely of arpeggios, picking up the pace before leading in to ‘Intention’ which offers further restlessness. The fifth track ‘Fall' begins with a softly played passage which is repeated throughout the piece at a more severe dynamic, showcasing how interpretation can be the driving factor for the piano. Track number six ‘Decay’ once again builds up a rapid pace, before the final, and title track ‘Reprise’ offers reflection on the music that has proceeded it, piecing together and concluding the work as a whole.

Overall the work is very personal to me. The piano is where everything began for me in terms of seriously getting in to writing music, and this project is a culmination of ideas that have been below the surface for years. All my work begins on the keyboard, but 'Reprise' takes this starting point as its fundamental basis, stripped back of everything else.

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.
