A versatile improviser and lover of performance, Halliwell has been an active contributor to numerous musical communities in recent years. The release of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFreedom Lapse\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e marks an exciting stage in Halliwell's journey as an artist with the culmination of several important musical facets that are now becoming foundational to his practice. As Halliwell mentions, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFreedom Lapse\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e owes its genesis to an epiphanic moment experienced whilst traversing a mountainous passage in Mexico, a place where \"the past present and future stretch out in one place\". Entranced by this environment, its colors, the villages, and local life, Halliwell listened to music that inspires him (he cites \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJon Hassell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e here). The result: \"complete aural, visual, and spiritual completeness\", a moment of discovery, he explains. Shortly after, the material that now comprises \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFreedom Lapse\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e was recorded, distilling this powerful sensorial experience into a body of music that he has now invited the world to share with him. Throughout these recordings, restrained improvised phrases and melodic ideas feature, often appearing as long refrains that soar above idiosyncratic beds of fractured percussion and junkyard bass-work. This use of contrast, which is central to the work, allows \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFreedom Lapse\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e to tap the lucidity-chaos juxtapositional-style that lies at the heart of all good music in the \"fourth-world\" idiom. Halliwell's sensitivity to dynamics, form and narrative is potent on these recordings, which allow his winding, free-improvisations the space to unfold and extend patiently. All instruments on Freedom Lapse were written and recorded by Haliwell, with additional trumpet on \"Cygon Dance\" supplied by regular collaborator, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReuben Lewis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFreedom Lapse\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e was mixed and produced by Halliwell and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJim Rindfleish\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\" - Elations Recordings.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Elations Recordings","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":44788459700443,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/files\/ELA002LP_CU.jpg?v=1706230931","url":"https:\/\/www.fusetronsound.com\/products\/halliwell-adam-freedom-lapse","provider":"fusetron","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
