Limited to 300 copies. Catalog Number: HVALUR 045LP Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 5057805547846 Brand new band featuring Bedroom Community's own Valgeir Sigurdsson at the helm, commissioned by Belgium's BClassic arts and music foundation - this project has blossomed into a full band for its three core members. Who is Isabelle Lewis, anyway? What kind of music does she make? Is she an opera singer? Does she write pop songs? Does she compose ethereal ambient soundscapes? Does she play chamber music on the violin? Is she producing dark, electronic beats? Well... yes. But Isabelle Lewis is not so much a person as a project. Isabelle's debut album, Greetings, credits a trio of composer-performers at its heart: producer Valgeir Sigurdsson, vocalist Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe, and violinist Elisabeth Klinck. The sound of the elusive Isabelle Lewis is heard most clearly in the push and pull between them, the three-way tension that gives the album its musical and emotional drive. Each of the three brings more to the collaboration than those epithets might imply. Elisabeth's solo performance practice incorporates composition, improvisation, live electronics, and a close command of bowing and fingering techniques that make her fiddle sing, whisper or whistle as required. Benjamin is a self-taught countertenor - keening, crooning, and swelling to a voluptuous sensuality--but also an interdisciplinary stage director and performer. Well known for his work as a producer and studio collaborator, and as a composer of scores for film and stage, Valgeir's solo discography interweaves meticulously crafted electronics, drones, noise, and other digital elements with acoustic instruments and vocals recorded with naked, unflinching clarity.
