1 Full Ashtray Part 1
2 Full Ashtray Part 2
The 41st release on Rope Swing Cities comes to us from the long suffering Italian artist, Solquest. I say long suffering because this release came into our hands before RSC’s hiatus, and waited, and waited, and remastered, and waited until things finally started up again, and now, Full Ashtray is getting to see the light of day… or the dark of night, which is more appropriate for this release.
Full Ashtray is a meditation. For twenty minutes Solquest is your guide for this exploration of inner thought. droning and rhythmic, but overall, disquieting, Full Ashtray describes perfectly the urban, industrial backdrop which provides inspiration for Solquest’s work.
The two parts of Full Ashtray work best when paired together as the ambience and intensity waxes and wanes through its entirety. By the end, the morning has come, but not much has been solved, relief comes, not because of solutions, but because another night has been survived, and the mistakes of the previous day can be made again anew. Dark and brooding, I know, but sometimes a piece of music is crafted not to bring an easy experience, somtimes what we all truly need is a good psychological scrubbing, and for that Full Ashtray delivers.
Enjoy!
