| Description: | Limited vinyl LP pressing of this 2016 release. All My Circles Run is the third full-length release by Montreal-based electro-acoustic composer Sarah Davachi and her second outing for Students of Decay. In a move which may surprise followers of her previous output, the five compositions on this record eschew synthesizer entirely, each focusing on a different instrument, including strings, voice, organ and piano. What remains consistent, however, is her striking attention to detail and a commitment to tonal possibilities that characterize all of her work. The sinewy "For Strings" opens the album, with keening overtones stretching out in all directions to form a massive, slow-moving, radiant sound. "For Voice" charts an even more celestial course, as wordless vocals ebb and flow to awe-inspiring effect. The stunning, melancholic "For Piano" closes the record and is a high watermark in Davachi's oeuvre, with plaintive piano figures nestled atop a shimmering string drone to create a rich, reverent atmosphere. All My Circles Run is a step forward from an exciting artist whose compositional and aesthetic tendencies steer her steadfastly toward both the subjunctive and the sublimeLimited pressing with bonus CD in card sleeve. 100 copies only.
