Celer - Close Proximity and the Unhindered Care-all
SRA014
Part 1: Culling the Past from Unsentient Weeks
Part 2: Indentions on Summits of Hands
Part 3: Tended Pouring
I am amazed still
your voice in the morning
the same silver bell
calling me home
our unlacquered days
are measured
in a naked bound book
deckled pages
weather years of us
and are but feathers
to the fingers
let me keep this!
yet we float away
your smile
a rainbow like a
far off song,
a tune I almost recall
- Darlyn Szczepanik
The duo of Celer is comprised of husband and wife Will Long and Danielle Baquet- Long. Using processed strings, pianos, regional field recordings, and electronics, Celer has composed a masterpiece of sentimental experiences and realism; the sound of raw emotion..
Tender and touching, yet poignant and stirring, Close Proximity and the Unhindered Care-all is composed of 3 parts that encapsulate over an hour of music, and on-location field recordings. Part 1 creeps quietly through your room until its presence is felt, fading, and field recordings are bringing back distant memories. Part 2 starts on a melancholy note and ends in a sea of stunning ambience, drifting, and fizzling out. Part 3 embraces and carries you off to a distant, but strangely comforting world where it shares its secrets with you, and yet disappears at the peak of discovery.
It is an honor for SRA to be able to share with you this masterpiece of sound art by Dani and Will, and we hope it brings comfort to a world where things are often taken for granted and then forgotten. When listening to such a heart-rending album, itʼs hard not to feel somehow connected with the glowing love Dani and Will undoubtedly have shared, and Celer will always be remembered, and cherished in this way.
Packaged in a 8 panel classic digipack with a matte UV finish, the artwork consists of poetry by Dani, and layout, design, and cover photography by Johnny Utterback.
