Found / Sounds by House Art
Sounds become a part of our memories so naturally. A flicker of trees, the dripping of a tap, the creak of a house, the voice of a loved one; we find ourselves listening for these sounds more and more as the memory fades.
The tracks on this record feel like home, they are the youthful longings and memories that make up the soundtrack to the lives of the eight members within House Art. This record, played meticulously, yet wildly without abandon- encapsulates the feeling of the sounds that the family of friends found themselves hearing as they recorded in the old home of Franz Johnston in Wyebridge, ON. A cozy place of stained glass windows, old proverbs covering the walls, and forest surrounding the historic walls.
The sounds within are of an old breed, of a furvored longing to create something that will endure. They are sounds that ring timeless-as violins soar into the ancient wood ceiling, as voices ring through the main hall, as piano floats under the beams, as guitars crash together in an aged crusade to manifest the emotions of the musicians.
Found / Sounds is a muffled shout, an audible whisper, something to hear in it's entirety, a record to get lost in, and for House Art: a beginning.
