Cables

ks6bb Uncommonly effective, and affecting, fusion of electronic and acoustic instruments. The title song in both this and its Rewired version is totally immersive. Favorite track: Cables.

instlouis Have & will buy anything you put out. Accidentally found Snarky Puppy a few years back and your magic on the keyboards had me look further into your own compositions. "Money In The Desert" set the hook ! Thank you.

Peter Jones The opener says "This album may not be what you're expecting". HAL is funky. The next three blur together, with some variance in mood. The next couple have echoes the of opener and the prior three. Constance stands out, as a simpler piece - though with its own depths. Cassini is interesting, as it does immediately capture a mood I'd associate with its subject. Favorite track: Constance.

tomziq Congratulations Mister Laurance !! Un superbe album plein d'émotions. A écouter sans modération.

Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
Singularity: A hypothetical moment in time when artificial intelligence and other technologies have become so advanced that humanity undergoes a dramatic and irreversible change.

Bill Laurance's fifth solo album, Cables, consists of eight new compositions, informed by the exponentional growth of technology, themes of man and machine, nature, hopes and fears for the future, and the connections — or cables — that ultimately tie us all together.

The album is an entirely solo recording, co-produced and engineered by Nic Hard, with Bill playing every instrument.

Centred around his beautiful piano playing and staying true to his DNA of jazz improvisation and composition, it finds the GRAMMY award-winning artist exploring new sonic territory. It embraces electronic beats and textures, with influences from the fields of modern composition, soundtracks, ambient music, funk and electronica.

about

Singularity: A hypothetical moment in time when artificial intelligence and other technologies have become so advanced that humanity undergoes a dramatic and irreversible change.

Bill Laurance's fifth solo album, Cables, consists of eight new compositions, informed by the exponentional growth of technology, themes of man and machine, nature, hopes and fears for the future, and the connections — or cables — that ultimately tie us all together.

The album is an entirely solo recording, co-produced and engineered by Nic Hard, with Bill playing every instrument.

Centred around his beautiful piano playing and staying true to his DNA of jazz improvisation and composition, it finds the GRAMMY award-winning artist exploring new sonic territory. It embraces electronic beats and textures, with influences from the fields of modern composition, soundtracks, ambient music, funk and electronica.

Amongst the tracks are dedications to 'HAL' from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey and the Saturn probe 'Cassini', a recreation of the motion of an opening flower ('Constance',) an exploration of the fight and balance between the natural and the artificial ('Singularity',) and the concept of a time in the future when nothing will be scarce due to developments in nano technology, ('End of Scarcity'.)

“I’m fascinated by the exponential growth of technology and that it would appear we can’t seem to keep up with it. This record is exploring the inevitable trajectory that we are on and how we may choose to benefit or forfeit from it.”
