In Abeyance the Devouring Flame

by Acoxaca

supported by

Joseph Aleo This album helped get me through the first few months of the stay at home orders due COVID-19. There was so much fear and uncertainty. In Abeyance the Devouring Flame was exactly the kind of music I needed. The tone is somber, the album's seeming minimalism it's surprisingly textured and dense. I remember one late night listening session I paused the album because I thought I heard a car alarm in my neighborhood. Nope. It was Acoxaca. I still hear something new when I listen to the album.

about

‘At break of day on the sixth of the kalends of August, he saw a raging fire, coming from the southern quarter of the firmament, suddenly precipitate itself upon Berwick, where it miserably consumed all things. Afterwards, travelling through the centre of Lothian and devastating everything till it came to an arm of the sea. When it reached that, it ascended again to the sky and returned to the south by the same way it came.’ (trans. H. Maxwell)

An eremitic composition for strings, piano and electronics, exploring atmospheric phenomena of the 13th century, as documented by the Augustinian canonry.

This came out of nowhere on my Bandcamp feed. It's extraordinary- in terms of ethnography of place, a little reminiscent perhaps of some of the works of the great Harold Budd, but with different instrumentation, and altogether more sombre and foreboding, like a crystal clear memory of a place you've never been. And there's shitloads more... This is why I love Bandcamp- you get to listen to things you'd otherwise never hear in a million years. Unconditionally recommended. kickingmachine
