JULY: Press release

Lola Perrin’s ‘Cloud Sky Fade’ re-released as Balearic hit Composer/pianist Lola Perrin’s music has been described in the past as ‘rave music for butterflies’. Withe the release of a new eclectic Balearic beat

album featuring Perrin’s classic hit from 2016

‘Cloud Sky Fade’ it’s officially rave music for humans too. DJ/music curators Mark Barrott and Pete Gooding present the fourth volume of La Torre Ibiza, their series of stellar collections showcasing the sunset sounds spun at Ibiza`s Hostal La Torre, including Cloud Sky Fade. “Sets, sequences, of music designed to celebrate the passing of another day and welcome the pleasures of night, as the Sun makes way for Sister Moon”.

Past eclectic musicians have included Peguin Cafe Orchestra, The Durrutti Column and John Barry.

From a description on Beatport: “Composer / pianist Lola Perrin`s Cloud Sky Fade is an unadorned, unadulterated - save a little reverb - rippling river of cascading classical keys. Her piano rolling, reaching crescendos like crashing surf. Licensed from Lola's 2006 CD, Fragile Light, it's worthy of comparison with Keith Jarrett`s ECM output, and Wim Mertens' beloved The Belly Of An Architect score”.

"Tomorrow, 16 December, the Supreme Court will publish its judgement on Heathrow expansion. I have taken the decision to break the embargo on that decision as an act of civil disobedience.

MOVING CLASSICS INTERVIEW

" ... I accept that the most incredible achievements of our civilisation, including the sum total of music creation which we’ve preserved this far is at risk of annihilation, along with everything else. You can’t argue with a confirmed global temperature rise of at least two degrees and therefore with the chances for preservation. I miss the days when I could just listen to a piece of music and allow it to transform me without feeling scared everything Bach wrote will end up in a flood."
