A Baleia (meaning 'The Whale' in Portuguese) is the seventh solo release from Will Samson.
After the electronic-infused folk songs of September 2017's Welcome Oxygen (Talitres), Samson presents a 22-minute album of tape manipulated soundscapes.
The idea to focus on wordless ambient works was originally inspired by time spent in a flotation tank (a soundproof pod in which the participant floats in highly salted warm water in complete darkness, experiencing weightlessness) during Summer 2017. The first in a small series of events that proved to be deeply healing.
A Baleia features violin performances by Beatrijs De Klerck (a frequent collaborator of Samson, both live and in the studio) and Matt Resovich of The Album Leaf, as well as collaborations with Brumes and Benoît Pioulard.
