A Turublent Sky PYR-048 2025  A1. Lightening A2. Prism A3. Ghazal B1. Atavistic Rites B2. Eclipse B3. Cloud Formation Apolinar Write your dreams as soon as you wake - fictionalize, make the narrative clearer, filling the gaps that were so obvious until moments ago. A sigil written on every coin and banknote that it may find the pocket of who needs it most. Gently wipe the dust off the leaves of your house plants while remembering Apolinar talking about music, standing next to your table at the tostadas place. He saw you and thought you might need a metro card. He saw you and thought maybe you were from Spain. Nate Perkins _______ This album emerged from a collaborative process that began years ago through conversations about the Idle No More movement for Indigenous land rights. Jarrett and Stefan met at Camas Books & Infoshop (Unceded Lekwungen Territory) at a discussion about the connections to be made between the Quebec student strike uprising against neoliberalism in 2012 and other social movements locally and globally. Over the years, Jarrett and Stefan kept the connection going, and in 2023 they finally began collaborating on music. This album is the result. It mixes lo-fi piano recordings, synth and digital processing, and field recordings. This album was created on unceded Indigenous territories and largely took place as Jarrett and Stefan corresponded about respectively finding ways to express solidarity with the Palestinian people in their creative practices and art, and joining the protest movement to lift up Palestine in their respective city places (Vancouver and Montreal). This album happens in this context and is a testament to careful and thoughtful engagement and friendship over many years.
