Razen - Stained Glass Starling (2026) [Hi-Res]

The Belgian duo Razen and Dutch composer Dick van der Harst have released a collaborative acoustic album titled "Stained Glass Starling," rooted in profound meditative improvisation. The work synthesizes European avant-garde with Eastern musical traditions, highlighted by the use of rare historical and Asian instruments such as the erhu and kacapi. The compositions are based on the principle of sonic equality among all participants and the purity of acoustic sound without electronic amplification. Recorded primarily in first takes, the album functions as a sacred tapestry, immersing the listener in a state of trance and modal mysticism.
