The morning is crowned with skyblown sunshine and a palette of sorrowfully gorgeous music. For the sun, a thank you to all of the gods and nature. For the sounds, thanks to Knut @ Eardrums Music for the tip-off to Hauschka's newest cinematic accompaniment to Morgenrot, from his latest album Ferndorf. A contemplation of falling, highlighted by striking contrasts in light and shadow. Don't stop there though, Knut points out that Hauschka's YouTube channel is brimming with fascinating vignettes for both film and music lovers. Eat! Eat!
As it happens, while revelling in everything Hauschka, I came across another diamond in a coal mine: Sara Lov. An enormously talented singer-songwriter who succeeds in transforming My Body is a Cage into an airy symphonic poem, as well as pulling an album-worthy cover of the Silversun Pickups' Kissing Families with nothing but a teensy piano, megaphone and tambourine.
