Veracity by Ivan Shopov & Monolog

Ivan Shopov & Monolog – Veracity EP
Continuing their work from the Excursion EP (also released on subtrakt), the pair reaches new levels of saturating their masterly compositions with emotion, thought and always with musical pointers towards context of the art. Be it snowfall in the Balkan mountains, a berlin Riot, softly flowing streams on a calm Danish summer day it is all documented by the 2 as Field recordings. Then translated into composition using packed studios, modular rigs and the years of knowhow that put the artists on their pinnacles of channelling expressions, impressions and conveying emotions. Veracity is an expression for honesty and the bravery it requires to strip a composition of bells and whistles and let the initial inspiration stand naked there for a listener to explore.
