- Featuring New, Unpublished Music From Late Legendary Saxophonist Raphael
LONDON, Feb. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- NeoGnosis Media, in collaboration with Spoken Realms, is pleased to announce the release of "Dusting Contours - with Breath of Whispered Words."
"Dusting Contours" is a contemplation on the nature of love, passion, devotion, loss and joy. An anthology of 31 spoken-word performances set to profoundly contemplative music and ambient soundscapes, this sensitive and moving work of art explores the sensual, the passionate, the maternal, the magical and the sacred.
With verse written by British sculptor and song-writer Nicola Ravenscoft, new music composed and performed by her late husband, musician and legendary saxophonist Raphael Ravenscroft, and spoken-word performances by Nicola Ravenscroft and actor-producer Craig Van Ness, "Dusting Contours" takes the listener on an exquisitely beautiful journey through the human heart.
Nicola Ravenscroft says, "Dusting Contours is an audio sculpture, a three-dimensional chart of love's many constellations, the twisting paths and facets of love's many loves and a final song and conversation with my late husband, Raphael."
"Collaborating with Nicky on 'Dusting Contours' has been a transformative experience for me," says co-narrator and producer, Craig Van Ness. "I'm honoured and grateful to both Nicola and Raphael for the opportunity to be a part of this beautiful, original art work."
