Jo Quail - Invocation - Supplication - DOUBLE LP COLOURED

Channelling the earthy, primal and spiritualin music, Jo Quail presents two three-song cycles in the form of a limited EP, ‘Invocation’ and ‘Supplication’. The acclaimed, award-winning composer and cellist composed the two pieces with the artists Maria Franz (Heilung) and Lorenzo Esposito Fornasariin mind and theirbreath-takingvoices are a key element on the respective EP’s. Franz taking the centre stage on ‘Invocation’ and Fornasari on ‘Supplication’. Dare to take on Quail’s wild, boundless soundscapes, enriched by two of the most powerful voices in contemporary music.

Jo Quail initiated the creation of both EP's during a very specific period,when she returned from touring in Australia in March 2020 to a state of lockdown, and the immediate months that followed where most of the world was in a kind of paralysis. She comments:

“For me personally Invocation and Supplication are two ‘three-song cycles’ that are perspectives of the same form. Individually Invocation and Supplication each describe three aspects of an archetype; both together they form an entire image.This image is, to me, earthy, primal and spiritual in the widest sense, are common themes I draw upon in all the music I write. Invocation and Supplication were composed simultaneously, each somehow part of the other. I’ve known Maria Franz (Heilung) and Lef (Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari) for some years, and I’d often dreamed to create wild landscapes for both these artists, being continuously inspired by their individual breathtaking talents. As I began to write these works in earnest I heard only their voices.”
