After thrashy punk and wacky showmanship, let’s take a quiet moment now, shall we? From U.K. experimental label Alrealon Musique<\/a><\/strong>, here’s an upcoming release that offers something wonderfully organic, luxuriously rich, starkly elegant and quite stunning. At certain moments, it’s deliciously meditative; at other times, it’s startling and provocative. Rapoon<\/a><\/strong> is Robin Storey, who has been creating music for more than 30 years. He was a founding member of Zoviet France<\/a><\/strong>, to which he contributed music and art from 1980 to 1992. Since then, he’s been recording as Rapoon, with more than 50 albums released. Storey also contributes to film soundtracks, has had his music used in commercials and he’s also a painter and visual artist. <\/p>\n

Cultural Forgeries<\/a><\/strong> (set for release September 16) is a series of musical contemplations, distinct portraits that are painted with various textures and tones, the musician as an artist with a colorful and nearly infinite palette. Each song is unique and beautifully recorded. This is enhanced rather than “produced” acoustic music. By this, I mean that there is a minimal amount of processing, and the treatments selected are in service to the natural beauty of the instruments.<\/p>\n
