Atlantic Oscillations

Description

Bringing together new players and concepts with a dance orientated sound that has enchanted fans and tastemakers across the world for nearly two decades, it showcases Will _Quantic_ Holland_s artistry and rare ability to intertwine the electronic with the orchestral. The LP is the first Quantic album under his main solo moniker since 2014_s critically acclaimed _Magnetica_, and since then Will has relocated to Brooklyn, where he has built his new recording studio _Selva_ and taken a bi-monthly residency at New York club space _Good Room_, where much of this release was tried and tested. _This record feels like it grew naturally as I grew to know New York_, Holland muses _I had started the record with electronic sketches in Ableton but soon found that with my new studio setup I was able to record everything with live musicians_. Taking its name from such a formidable weather force, the release aptly brings together Holland_s global travels and the musical influences developed along the way. While _Atlantic Oscillations_ has its roots in Brooklyn, _September Blues_ was inspired by Quantic_s first long tour across the states. The west African feels of _Motivic Retrograde_ sit alongside the simple Marimba Motif of _La Refexi_n_, inspired by time spent in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Written by the Colombian vocalist Nidia G_ngora _Tierra Mama_ continues the journey along the Pacific coast, exploring the magical and often mystical elements of the Colombian mangrove, with its title translating to mean _Mother Earth_. G_ngora features alongside other familiar Quantic collaborators, Alice Russell and multi-instrumentalist Sly5thAve, alongside New York based vocalist Denitia.
