Subject: [Bulk] Robin Guthrie - USA 2004
Robin Guthrie USA 2004 performing a live instrumental set Lumiere is a 40 minute long animated film created as a backdrop to a sublime collection of sensual and atmospheric, guitar only, instrumentals of truly hypnotic beauty performed live by Robin Guthrie. As the founder member of the seminal Cocteau Twins, Robin Guthrie has created some of the most beautiful music of recent times and is widely regarded as a musical visionary. The distinctive sonic landscapes that have become his trademark are again on display throughout the Lumière performance and at time touches upon his, thus far, only instrumental album Imperial and his legions of admirers will find much that they recognize and love. Yet what marks this performance out from his recorded work is the spaciousness of the music. Robin employs an astonishingly down-tempo pace throughout the performance to mesmerizing effect. This is music to drift away to...music in which you can lose yourself... The film itself has been made with the same craft and techniques which Robin has used in the sonic world for years, an interweaving and layering of images, creating distinct moods which are reflected my the music being played. The music is 'improvised within the framework dictated by the visuals' and used no fixed rhythm or 'beats' but more relies on layers of treated guitars and cyclic melodies.
