The Vernon Spring
Registrace 15. 07. 2020
After many years of recording and performing with an endless string of immense musical talents, London-based composer and producer Sam Beste embarks on his debut solo adventures as The Vernon Spring. Perhaps best known as a member of alt-soul trio Hejira, Sam’s work as a producer, performer and composer covers a multitude of styles and roles. He has worked with Amy Winehouse, Matthew Herbert, Kano, Kindness, Blood Orange and many more.
Sam’s playing and composition style are multifaceted - an inevitable truth, given his wealth of experience - and yet there is cohesion and integration. You could draw parallels to the delicate muted piano of Nils Frahm, the gospel-inflected melancholy of James Blake, the sophisticated songwriting of Joni Mitchell, or the feel of Donny Hathaway. But The Vernon Spring does not rely on influences. It is a singular and unique expression, tied tightly to the innate musicality of a hugely talented songwriter and producer.

Sick!
why are you so cool? and good. gotdamn
did you add that piece of fabric on the strings? can you talk about what it’s doing?
That’s called a “felt” and is a standard middle pedal on upright pianos! Sound lovely. It brings the felt in between the hammers and strings. Also known as the “practice” pedal for the sort of mute sound it gives off
Parabens! por el tono sutil de tu musica...Greetings
What an absolute beauty! ❤
i fucking love this beautiful piano sequence. for me its peace in distress. so intriguing.
I'm adding a comment here because a) the track deserves at least and has none, and b) The Vernon Spring rarely lets you leave comments. First off, whatever this group puts together is of a refreshingly high quality, neck and shoulders above most of what I come across on CZcams. These people are thinking musical poets, with a deep knowledge of what came before them, jazz in particular (see the track: A Mother's Love), and a precious awareness of what makes them tick, memories of their parents for instance. The emotion comes in musical snatches: a half-bar that might turn into a jazz standard, but stops playfully short, or a nostalgic passage that takes us back to childhood. It's not "ambient" per se, but it does have a stream of melodic consciousness feel to it. Plus who cares about labels. It's just great music. And it deserves a vast audience.
