Classically talented producer McCorry presents an EP with unsettling, alien ambience
Simon McCorry has found inspiration in artists who have searched for ways to communicate the emotions and experiences that we struggle to put into words through music. The work produced by post classical producers such as ‘A Silver Mt Zion’ and ‘The Stars of The Lid’ finds itself in strange and unfamiliar territories, and Simon McCorry is following the same trajectory by making bold attempts to express complex themes through his talents as a creator of electronica and skilled Cellist.
Although McCorry has worked with a curious range of elements from the worlds of ambient, drone, field recording and experimental electronic, the Cello has remained a characteristic hallmark of his style. McCorry effortlessly lifts the instrument from any realm of physicality and slips the gradual melodies amongst electronic synth, the resulting environment being one of balanced delicacy.
The track featured here is taken from ‘The Light Only Blinds’, an EP released in May. The collection was intended to be used as sound for a play titled ‘Born Bad’, which revolves around intense family drama and slowly building tension. With a lack of core beats ‘Benedictus’ never directly confronts the listener, but leaves them on edge and disquieted regardless.
