From 2018. Dark nocturnes Emotion Machine is a sensual first duo collaborative album from acclaimed fine-art photographer and singer Paula Rae Gibson and pianist composer Kit Downes.
Highlights include a subtle version of Rae Gibson classic, ‘Black Hole’. The softer textures and sombre elegies that pervade the record enhance the many ideas in terms of mood and spell that Rae Gibson has been working on through the years.
A sense of hush, a stark reality emerges. Think the imagery of Nic Roeg, Sylvia Plath, Kate Bush, the cold shock of the afternotes of an unguessable Keith Jarrett chord that never needs to resolve.
