Loris S. Sarid returns with his latest album “A Tiny Reminder” following his oceanic “Seabed-Sunbath” LP. The compositions began as numerous fragments of guitar, vocal snippets, clarinet and field recordings which were rearranged, reworked and layered with his crystalline and distinctive sound design. Like scribbles on top of a painting, Loris blended acoustic sounds with digital-sounding samples of the same instrument to create a wholly new palette. The album embraces its eccentricities and highlights his dexterity as a composer of elegant and forward-thinking music.

From Loris— “I made this music about a year ago as a gift for someone I met at that time. People have this mysterious power to inspire others or to be inspired, often bringing to the table more than what they’re carrying, or receiving more than what is meant to be given. It’s something I wanted to celebrate making this album, it’s a force I don’t understand because it’s not subject to the vocabulary of logic, and exists only in proportion to how much we expose ourselves to it. Regardless of the form these connections take, some pleasant others not, it’s a waste to avoid them and turn away the gift they carry, and making music is the only thing that really makes me enjoy not understanding something.”
