Joep Beving: Liminal Eco 2LP
This album draws inspiration from Guillaume Logé’s book Wild Renaissance. Created in response to growing uncertainty and the breakdown of old systems, on this album Joep Beving explores humanity’s role within a broader, more-than-human ecology, seeking connection with nature rather than separation from it. It alternates between moments of precise, intentional composition and sections where sound evolves organically, blurring the line between control and intuition. ‘The album moves between two sides. Sometimes, I try to shape and refine sound into its purest form. Other times, the music seems to flow on its own, shifting, fading, and returning to silence as if guided by something natural. It’s less about structure and more about connection, resonance, and change, closer to ecology than architecture.’ Joep Beving Composed of 15 solo piano pieces partly intertwined with electronics, the album inhabits a liminal space that transports the audience on an atmospheric journey between contemporary compositions and introspective sound poetry, urging them to experience the world beyond binary divisions and discover new resonance.
