about

The Infinite Harvest maps the inner journey of an ordinary person who is forced to evolve in a new and convulsive situation in an isolated environment, having to face his fears and discovering his true potential, as reflection of the events of recent months. In his search, reality and dreams are confused in the same way that light and darkness are mixed. For this, the dark atmosphere that almost permanently underlie throughout the album are delicately combined with melodic and rhythmic elements capable of enhancing the fears, sorrows and joys of our protagonist; therefore, the darkness provided by drones and complex soundworlds are confronted by pianos that bring light and calm with a hint of uncertainty, cellos that are the echo of sorrowful souls and tribal rhythms that portray a journey to the deep.

Ran Kirlian notes about the album development

I'm following Mr. Lawlor music for years now and it was his name the one to come to my mind when I was mixing the base drones. The main soundworld, mostly a 70+ minutes evolving multilayered drone, was recorded live, in one take on a calmed Sunday evening during Covid-19 lockdown days. It was an improvisation initially conceived very visually, as an imaginary movie soundtrack about the pandemic situation, but it eventually evolved to something different, more intimal and introspective, and I felt like if I was writing a story not yet revealed. At the end of the jam session I felt really happy with the result, but found that it would get much better with a lyricism touch that I felt unable to imprint myself. I timidly asked Scott, who I had been following on Twitter for some time, if he would be interested in collaborating on a project, to which he answered almost immediately yes, even without further clues about it.

Scott's talent are well known in the ambient community. His composer and performer skills with piano and synthesizers have been exposed hundreds of times during his long career as artist, ranging from absolute light ambient to the darkest corners of the soul. That said, it should come as no surprise that Scott was able to capture many of his sonic facets on this album and thereby elicit a reaction that pushed me beyond my initial capacity.

It took me a little longer to complete the album adding nearly a hundred additional recordings, both electronic and acoustic, including field recordings and my own voice. The result is a work that, despite being recorded in a few days, has taken several months to polish.
