{"product_id":"809236180711","title":"DIARY OF A CANDLE (CELADON GREEN VINYL) | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFaten Kanaan, Modern ambient minimalism with early music\/baroque influences. For fans of Kali Malone, Steve Reich, William Basinski, Sarah Davachi, Stars Of The Lid, Mary Lattimore and Oneohtrix Point Never.     Minimal and nuanced, Diary of a Candle is a consoling, melodic suite from acclaimed experimental composer, musician, and producer Faten Kanaan. On this album Faten uses counterpoint as a narrative tool to create music that is mysterious, smudgy, and deeply melodic. From the repetitive structures of modern minimalism and early music\/baroque influences - to more languid textural ebbs and tides, there's a warmth in her use of synthesizers that gives her work a curiously timeless feel. Composing intuitively, her music creates it's own world - one that isn't easily categorised.    Diary of a Candle is punctuated with tender woodwinds and richly-layered strings, touched by the hazy atmospheres of 1970s\/1980s films. It's understated heart-on sleeve romanticism follows the rhythm of nature: it bends in the breeze, drifts through the air, and settles on the ground. The ambiance is not an escapism, but the re-focusing of a lens through which humans are no longer the protagonists. Instead, a landscape's intimate details become the central figures.    With the sparseness of Hiroshi Yoshimura's 1982 album 'Music for Nine Post Cards' as a starting-point influence, Faten's music exudes a wistful yet hopeful sentiment, honouring moments of beauty in the world around us. Some of the album titles are inspired by East-Asian rites and folkloric superstitions, often related to nature.    All music written performed and mixed by Faten Kanaan.    Mastered by Heba Kadry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KANAAN,FATEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48242127012085,"sku":"809236180711","price":31.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/0809236180711.jpg?v=1780889188","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/809236180711","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
