Victorine Meurent - Young Cherry Trees II by Holy Geometry published on 2018-08-03T11:34:59Z Artist: Victorine Meurent Track: Young Cherry Trees II Album: Pastorale 'This work is an attempt to 'deal' with a period of violent change.' Victorine Meurent's Pastorale is an album in transition. Recorded as the author moved from an urban to a rural environment, from winter into summer, it also represents a defining chapter in the work of the Australian artist. Perfecting a deft blend of field-recordings and minimal ambient drone, Pastorale seems to project a quiet confidence in its arrangements; a confidence that produces one of Holy Geometry's most assured and satisfying releases to date. The entirety of side B is the stand-out here, with tape manipulated field recordings wrapping around a melancholic piano segment and eerie string and drone arrangements to create something not quite of this realm.
