Since Lieven Martens Moanaโs (Dolphins Into The Future) previous full-length, the massively overlooked Music from the Guardhouse, the composer has moved from the islands of Okinawa to the swampland of Mexico City to the Portuguese countryside, composing music for ensemble and commercials. This very pluralistic lifestyle and commitment has led us to his first full-length record since 2014: Idylls.
Presented as a 12-page book with an LP, the listener first hears concentrated and intentional sound-prose poems of the life of Robert Louis Stevenson, as Martens attempts to โsee through the eyes of RLS.โ Because of Martensโ ability to poetically reflect Stevensโ obsessions, we can hear field recordings not just as documents, but as compositions and imaginative storyboards of a poetโs journals in the locales of Polynesia.
