"This record started as a collection of living room jams, field recordings from desert ruins and European lowlands, snippets from the live Cloud Sequence video, words and melodies written over different weeks, months, and years, all to melt together in a whisper. Strange Whispers Of Water And Exit has a desire to shape-shift whilst remaining one. A fluid form of solid sound built with synthesisers and song as electronic, experimental pop."
Bio
Forming in 2019, Cloud Sequence is Saar Amptmeijer from Utrecht the Netherlands, and Jez Conlon from Adelaide South Australia, whom both stay and work in Mpartnwe/Central Desert region in the Northern Territory. Both artists hail to music from a fine arts background, which is prominent in their artistic choices and preferences. Cloud Sequence is experimental, electronic pop, often imbued with textural field recordings. Their music is inspired and created on the vast desert lands of the Arrernte peoples whose sovereignty was never ceded.
DnA Sequence.
DnA is a moody sonic bed which holds intimate whispers about fluidity, spoken from the experience as a gender non-confirming person. It's a small and intimate song, written for a close ear and soft understanding of one the endless ways to experience gender.
Roest.
Roest is an experimental pop song about longing, which was written and recorded in times of solitude. The song raises the question of place and responsibility for the experience of loneliness, and a desire for presence.
Nasmaak
Nasmaak is a song about the submerging feeling of being frozen by doubt, in relating to others. The song is structured as a build up, from the soft feelings of love towards an explosive feeling of uncertainty.
Sci fi Movie
Sci fi movie is a speculative song, about meeting one another in a future land as often suggested in classic sci fi TV, movies and literature. It's a fun song, where we speculate and wonder about a place without prisons, without currency and where we can dream and love freely.
Star Stretched
Star stretched is a snippet from a dreamy Cloud Sequence jam. The song is build up as a dream scape, and consists of a call and response between Saar and Jez.
