Sandcastle by Rodney Hazard

"The album came to be during a trip to Hawaii, I place I dreamed of visiting since I remember myself. A place full of magic. I tried to honour the spirit of the place, from mountains to the ocean, the track is a voyage into a different world. The work actually began on the plane, but it truly took shape once I experienced Hawaii in its fullness and I immersed in the original place. That’s where I drew all the inspiration for the songs and turn them into a journey that reflected my experience with the island."

Driven by a “the world is my gem” mantra, the US artist channels the energy of being outdoors into his Stereofox debut Sandcastles. Indeed, the record is following a trip to Hawaii, which Rodney found absolutely magical. Honoring the spirit of the place, from mountains to the ocean, the track is a voyage into a different world.

Hazard started the recording while on the plane as he arrived on the island, and finished it once on site. Being immersed in the original place of inspiration for the song allowed him to create a piece that takes us on a journey with him, filled with textured sounds.

The stereo image of the track is as captivating as can be, as he played with space throughout the production and mixing process, for a final product that plays with our senses.
