Joe Stawarz - Cry [SOMA303D]

Joe Stawarz – Cry [SOMA303D] Release Notes :

Joe Stawarz hails from Perth in Western Australia. Developing an ear for sound
at a young age, music found a way into his formal education, culminating in the
completion of a Composition degree at the WA Academy of Performing Arts where
his work focused on writing for acoustic ensembles. His pursuits with electronic
music always provided a welcome distraction however, and in 2007 he came to the
attention of Soma Recordings by taking out Slam’s remix contest with his version
of “We’re Not Here” from their Human Response long player.

Influenced by a wide range of music, and with an interest in things slightly
left of centre, Joe pieces together his own tracks with a belief in the capacity
of music as an expression in and of itself. Whether playing with the interaction
of rhythmic elements or following a certain mood, his hope is to create honest
music.

The original Cry is a sliver of profuse deepness. A Beautifully serene
atmosphere is created through luscious strings, modulating synths and a
subterranean b-line. A muted kick drum keeps the time in a track that could
mellow even the most hyper-socialite.

Decimals take on Cry brings a dancefloor vibe to the original, with skipping
lo-fi percussion that hisses through the introduction of deep hovering strings,
and an off-beat stab. An extreme cello-esque bass drops after a brief break, but
retains flow and momentum through with emotive and winding chords.

Joes Bird Whale is an entirely different beast. Clinical precision combines with
soul and warmth in a way rarely heard in the tech-house field. Rolling
percussion sits above an absorbing bassline as effects and field recordings zip
in and out of the mix. The orchestral elements of Joes education shine through
on many of his productions. It is obvious where his skills lie when listening to
songs like this.
