Frivolous: Finds his Island of Sanctity
After a deep personal experience, Daniel Gardner (aka Frivolous) has finally ended a lengthy stint of absence from producing. With the release of the “Island Of Sanctity EP”, Frivolous returns with his another slice of his in-between-genres style of Jazz, House, Minimal and Electronica. “Island Of Sanctity” may actually take this combination one step further, as the music was built on the basis of an acoustic popsong, (featured on the EP in a special edit. Most noticeably, however, Gardner has gone through a period of transition, which he has emerged from stronger and more vital then ever before: “Finding my place in the hard, overbearing reality of Berlin's fashionable techno world after coming from the gentle disconnected reality of Canada's humble scene”, Daniel tries to describe the influences which led up to “Island of Sanctity”, “This year i was curious, got to close to the edge of the pool (or was it an ocean?) and with the sound of a 'SPLASH' i was gone, into the darkness. The current swept me away, and eventhough i didn't like it, i had no choice but to succumb.” Eventually, however, things took a turn for the better: “Until suddenly! I woke up! Somehow deposited on a cool white-sandy beach; all the innocence I'd lost and all the experiences I'd had somehow reformed as a foundation to support the perspective that i had before, had all along! It is a beautiful day, and this is my Island of New Sanctity."
The origin for this completely natural fusion of many different influences can be seen in his background as a classical instrumentalist – his previous full-length “Midnight Black Indulgence” was based on the principles of Baroque music and Jazz. Says Frivolous: “For me Jazz means a loseness and a feeling that can only be created by humans. It is the anti-machine. Even if it is sampled, it is usually for the quality of a magical moment that can't be graphed with 0-127 on time-code. "
The “Island Of Sanctity EP” is out now on 12’’ Vinyl on ~scape Records.
