HOME - no-kë

On the 8th of May I released my EP ‘Home’ with the record label Eyegaze under no-kë. This is my first release for the year and I’m really excited to have this piece finally out there. There are two original tracks on the EP and 1 remix by my good friend and awesome composer Pat Carroll. We’ve been talking about collaborating for over 6 years, so it felt good to finally have a piece out there together.

A bit about Home:
No-kë's 'Home' EP plays with very classical sounding motifs and instruments. It explores juxtaposing these sounds with more contemporary elements such as modern beats and synths. This is reflective of No-kë’s background in music - having played classical piano all her life and more recently written commercial music, using modern production methods.

No-kë new EP ‘Home’ is peaceful and uplifting:

‘Home is all about my happy place - the Farm. The idea was to recreate that sense of peace and contentment that I feel when I’m up there.'

On ‘Movement 1’

‘I always liken the first movement to a sunrise - where everything’s still a little bit foggy, the animals are still waking up and the frost hasn’t quite melted off the grass and you get those pastel hues in the sky. I’ve tried to recreate this ‘awakening’ with the use of ambient pads and the slowly developing string motifs’

On ‘Movement 2’

‘This piece represents everything waking up and coming to life. There’s a lot more movement in the second piece and a more serious tone in the opening, yet once we reach the climax it evolves into a more celebratory feel, like you’ve reached the end of a journey.’

As an added bonus, Eyegaze stablemate Pat Carroll has given 'Movement 1' his own electronic reinterpretation that has resulted in a fuzzy and drowsy take on the refreshing original.
