Diaphanous melody emerges from the strings of Lattimore’s harp, at times reminiscent of a room full of antique music boxes playing different songs but in accord. The synthesizer textures from McCaughan float in and around the harp’s arpeggios, warm like cloud cover, then disturbed and more harshly electronic. Like the textures on Bowie’s Berlin albums with Eno, there is a constant sense of beauty and foreboding coexistent. The collaboration's four movements snake and float through a liminal sonic universe, without a linear sense of tension\/release but rather a calm and brooding build into a widening pool of immersive sound. \u003ci\u003eNew Rain Duets\u003c\/i\u003e proves that \"cosmic music\" lives not just in the notes played but also the ones in between. When rendered in such a way as this album, it yields a thing of true beauty and wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary Lattimore – Harp \u0026amp; Effects\u003cbr\u003eMac McCaughan – Synthesizers \u0026amp; Sampling\u003cbr\u003eRecorded April 2017 at the McColl Center for Art + Innovation, Charlotte NC\u003cbr\u003eMastered by Patrick Klem\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
