 | | Description: | Holy Spring by Laurence Pike, released 17 May 2019, includes the following tracks: "Dance Of The Earth", "Drum Chant", "The Shock Of Hope", "Rites" and more.
This version of Holy Spring comes as a 1xCD. - Holy Spring is the second solo album by Australian percussionist, drummer and composer Laurence Pike - an article of faith, expressing the sense that the ritual of performance can transcend the confines of style, structure and concept to connect with something universal. The name of the album is beautifully ambiguous, evoking a wellspring, but also rebirth, and more besides. It sounds constantly, effervescently fresh, just as it should when it's creation was a series of surprises to it's own creator. The listener, just like the musician, are privy to what Pike describes as the music simply playing itself. Improvisation has played a role throughout Pikes long and diverse career in music. Whether as part ofPVT, Triosk or Szun Waves, or collaborating with Liars, legendary jazz pianist Mike Nock, DD Dumbo orthe mighty Bill Callahan, he has long been a responsive musician for whom sensitive listening leads tospontaneous invention. 1.

RitesCD in 6-panel digipak"Holy Spring" is an atmospheric and exploratory CD by percussionist and composer Laurence Pike, released by Leaf / Indigo. The album blends rich, expressive drumming with electronic textures and meditative soundscapes, creating a journey that feels both ritualistic and contemporary. Organic rhythms, subtle harmonic shifts and spacious production work together to evoke a sense of inner pilgrimage - a "holy spring" of ideas, memories and moods that unfold track by track. This CD is ideal for listeners who appreciate boundary-pushing instrumental music, where jazz-informed improvisation, ambient layers and an almost cinematic sense of dynamics come together in a coherent, immersive whole. Whether played in focused listening sessions on headphones or as an evocative backdrop, "Holy Spring" reveals new details with every spin, inviting the listener into its patient, evolving narrative.
Laurence Pike is known for his innovative approach to the drum kit, treating it as a melodic and textural instrument rather than just a rhythmic engine. Active in various projects that span jazz, experimental, and electronic-leaning contexts, he has earned a reputation for highly nuanced playing, precise dynamic control and a willingness to explore beyond traditional genre boundaries. His solo work, including "Holy Spring", showcases his ability to fuse improvisation with carefully structured compositions, giving his music both spontaneity and a strong conceptual backbone.
The CD is released by Leaf / Indigo, a collaboration involving The Leaf Label, an independent imprint renowned for its adventurous and genre-defying catalog, and Indigo, a distributor that has helped bring distinctive, non-mainstream music to a wider audience. Leaf is appreciated for supporting artists who operate at the intersections of electronic, experimental, jazz and modern classical, and "Holy Spring" fits naturally into this forward-looking aesthetic. Together, Leaf / Indigo stand for high production standards, carefully curated releases and a commitment to artistic independence, making this CD a significant entry in the catalog of contemporary exploratory music. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
