Ido Govrin & Dan Weinstein - 'The Revisit' album tour, March 2012 "Beautifully sombre suite of neo-classical composition for cello and field recordings" (Boomkat). "A work well dug deep into the earth... grounded and carved out of the soil of time" (Nathan Thomas for Fluid Radio). Playlist: 1. The Cage 2. The Landscape 3. The Cradle (w. Carmina Escobar) 4. The Salon 5. The Chapel 'The Revisit' is a new album by Ido Govrin in collaboration with cellist Dan Weinstein (released 12/2011 on Cotton Goods Records, UK). The album’s title, ‘the revisit’, indicates its metaphysical foundation; comprising of five pieces, the album exhibits several revisits to contemporary classical music which in the end reveal nothing of the original sonic material yet dwell in the pieces’ worldliness. No sampling was taken; everything was recorded live and was later on digitally processed and edited. The revisits became possible, on one hand, due to the pieces’ initial character of openness and, on the other hand, due to my interest in art works that leaves the horizon relatively open, in this case, for further composition. What occurs at the liminal moment in time of the revisit?
The following album tour is planned for March 2012 to support the album and to perform it live across the EU.
