Catalogue No.: CAL004CD
Barcode: 5016958101138
Release Date: 02 Dec 2022
Genre: Experimental/Electronic

 Composer, pianist and producer Peter Vukmirovic Stevens has teamed up with the prolific punk poet Penny Rimbaud to create ‘S LENCE’, a contemporary experiment of balance between piano and spoken word.
 Released on One Little Independent avant-garde subsidiary Caliban Sounds.
 Rimbaud’s apocalyptic and dramatic narration is delivered with vivid fervour, while Stevens uses an elegant, emotive approach to counter it. Both find  harmony in juxtaposition.
 Lyrically, Rimbaud explores a terrain he’s spent much of his later career addressing themes of antimilitarism and the grim details of historic conflict. War is a disturbing, monstrous entity
across his poetry, with deeply descriptive prose placing his listener in the dirt itself. As befits his anarcho past, a lot of the writing discusses authority, with the relationship between the
privileged and marginalised investigated fully. Wrestling oneself from under the boot of power and the radical fight for freedom may well be his wheelhouse, but here Penny Rimbaud is accompanied by something completely new. The solo compositions from Peter Vukmirovic Stevens were written specifically for these expressive tirades.
