‘Submersion’ by Laraaji & Kramer | New Album, ‘Baptismal’
Exclusive video premiere of ‘Submersion’ by Laraaji & Kramer, taken from the upcoming album, ‘Baptismal,’ out June 2nd, 2023 via Shimmy-Disc.
As one of the very few true godfathers of Ambient Music, Laraaji has forged a unique path forward (always, always forward) since his groundbreaking 1980 LP for Eno’s Ambient label, ‘Ambient 3: Day of Radiance’. It remains one of the eternal pillars of the genre. His extraordinary contributions to modern music over the course of four decades highlight his lifelong dedication to the belief that Peace can be achieved through audio serenity.
Kramer’s work in Ambient Music is less universally known, but no less pioneering. His most recent Shimmy-Disc LP, ‘Music For Films Edited by Moths,’ suggests that his immersion in the genre is now complete. Cerebral yet simple, intoxicating yet tranquil, Kramer’s newest and more elusive body of work gently heralds what lies ahead. His commitment to quiet music is complete.
Speaking on “Submersion,” Kramer wrote: “Memory is an art. Sound, and its visual point of origin, can open our minds to ourselves, and to others. The potential truthfulness of every sound is strengthened when attached to a formless visual image. ‘Submersion’ is an act of submission to Memory. It is the most sublime form of surrender, and it holds within itself the power to set us Free.”
