Serene sounds from the newly formed duo ‘Stray Harmonix’

Brought back together after over two decades, Kooner and Burns compose a tribute

The reunion of producer Jagz Kooner and multi-Instrumentalist Gary Burns is a bittersweet one. The two were founding members of the British electronic group ‘Sabres of Paradise’, active in the mid to late 90’s, creating techno edged tracks alongside band mate Andrew Weatherall, who sadly passed away earlier this year. It’s remembrance of Weatherall that brings Kooner and Burns back to the studio, more than twenty years after the dissolution of their original group.

The track released by the pair arrives from a slightly different angle to their previous work, showing that the new waves in electronica have left both impact and inspiration. Titled ‘Mountain of the One’ the release appears under the banner of the London label ‘Bad Life’, and marks the first outing by Kooner and Burns as ‘Stray Harmonix’.

‘Mountain of One’ is gentle, and reflective. There’s an ambient current running through the track, reassuring in its patient ebb and flow. The soft melody and rolling synth add the feel of an expansive environment of peace and meditation. This is in fact the first time Kooner and Burns have joined together in a studio for twenty three years, but the energy is still there. ‘Mountain of One’ will feature on Bad Life’s upcoming compilation ‘Machine Nature’, out December 4th.
