Consisting of six movements, and fundamentally shaped by his use of a UHER 4200, a 1970’s era portable tape recorder that intricately ties the whole album together, Harp Swells is designed to be consumed in one sitting, front to back. While he’s aware that this will could work against him in many ways, for the first time Will is releasing his latest album free of inhibitions and, perhaps most importantly, any expectations.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eCarrying that outlook through the entire project, Will made a pledge to himself that any time he began to feel frustrated with the creative process, he would step away from the music to watch the river outside his studio windows, to remind himself that the album should feel as easy and free flowing as the\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf ideas weren’t flowing, if instruments failed, Will would simply take a break and a breath, always allowing the environment and circumstance to dictate the album’s character and flow. When the noise of the construction work happening below him got too loud, he would record the same melody on rhodes piano instead. When his violinist wasn’t available, he sampled a bamboo flute he found in the studio to create something that resembled a string arrangement. The result is a sprawling, mesmerising body of sound, a richly organic reflection on the world around him and the roots he‘d finally put in place. Inspired by the concept of Indian devotional music, with a focus on the art of healing, Harp Swells glistens with quiet power, wrapping listeners within its illusory flow as it gently pours forwards. It’s also a reaction to a shifting world, and an ode to the inner strength required to keep moving forwards as the walls of the real world continually feel like they’re closing in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the ghostly fascination of the exquisite seven-minute opening track ‘Beatrijs’ Theremin’, through the tantalising three minutes of ‘And Yet’ (featuring the vocals of Bell Orchestre’s Michael Feuerstack and Irish performance artist Maia Nunes), which opens with layered hymn-like vocal samples before they’re slowly joined by beautiful strings which adorn the voices with a palpable sense of wonder, this is an album of both enchantment and transience. Pulled together from all manner of inspired instruments and ideas, it offers a gorgeously glowing flow for the listeners to climb inside; a truly alluring escape from the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn truly allowing all the superfluous noise to dissipate, on Harp Swells Will Samson has crafted perhaps the most absorbing work of his career, one which never allowed itself to be obstructed or curtailed by the many barriers it faced from the outset.
