Singled Out: Burnt Belief (Jon Durant and Porcupine Tree's Colin Edwin)

Today Jon Durant from Burnt Belief (the duo that also features Porcupine Tree's Colin Edwin) tells us about "Pr�cis" from their brand new album "Etymology", which was released late last month. Here is the story:

Pr�cis begins with a brooding electronic pulse (one that wouldn't be out of place in Tangerine Dream piece) over which Colin's bass and Jon's clouds etch a fairly ominous vibe. However, once the rhythms kick in, the clouds begin to disperse, and the mood begins to lift a bit. A distant trumpet (guitar synth) over a chord sequence heralds faint hope before Colin starts in with a Percy Jones-esque harmonic slide on his fretless bass and the piece begins its urgency.

Lead guitar doubled with Trumpet blast out a strong melodic statement building to a major climax when the chord progression returns and signals a new bass theme over which the guitar and trumpet triumphantly restate the original theme. Eventually the storm dissipates with clouds echoing away over electronic pulses as it had begun.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
