FEATURED ALBUM:

Can we meet in San Diego?

By

Katy Coxwell

Released on Adventurous Music 08.04.2024

The debut album, Can we meet in San Diego? by Katy Coxwell is an exceptional, beautiful, winding and consistently intriguing work. Over 10 tracks, the listener is treated to a journey through myriad moods and delicate atmospheres picked out in gentle melodic phrases, artful modular synth patterns, strings and haunting soundfields. 

Coxwell marries a rarified, electronic machine tone appreciation of synthesised sound with an often classical chord structure and as a composer seems as at home on a grand piano as behind a bleeping, pulsing box of wires and knobs. The result is an album of immense depths that defies genre and is both unpredictable and uncannily moving.

Can we meet in San Diego?, listened to as a whole album undoubtedly creates a distinct mood, but certain of the tracks will stand out to many, such as The Great Washed, so it is not surprising it attracted the attention of the Adventurous Music label almost as soon as it entered the grey clay mix.

The album also does something very strange to time! Each track seems to command time and pace in an unhurried yet purposeful way which gives an impression of a much longer journey than the 33 minutes it plays for. Quite how that is achieved I don’t know but I love that it does this.

Katy Coxwell is a composer, artist and musician living near Toronto, Canada with a lifetime of making unusual acoustic and electronic music, both solo and in numerous collaborations.
