Julianna Barwick / Mary Lattimore: Tragic Magic
Key Points:
- Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore, both Southern-born musicians inspired by spiritual music and technology, collaborated on the album Tragic Magic, recorded in Paris using instruments from the Musée de la Musique.
- The album opens with "Perpetual Adoration," a dreamy but somewhat predictable track that blends Barwick's voice and Lattimore's harp, setting a gentle tone that grows more dynamic in later songs.
- Tracks like "The Four Sleeping Princesses" and "Temple of the Winds" showcase evolving, layered compositions that highlight the unique fusion of their styles, while their cover of Vangelis' "Rachel’s Song" and the kosmische-inspired "Stardust" stand out for their innovative soundsc
