about

The Glass Labyrinth is music made with a certain midnight mood in mind, like getting home after a party, or getting ready for a party, or even not going to a party at all, but listening to distant music that comes through your window. Music not from the party itself, where the noise is, but from the aftermath, from a moment of lucidness drowned in a haze of memories.

"What moved me was the idea of doing electronic music that didn't sound like electronic music, or MPB (música popular brasileira) that didn't sound like MPB." Recorded by São Paulo artist Veridiana Sanchez during the region's COVID quarantine, The Glass Labyrinth is airy but baroque. Deeply influenced by Eastern Bloc cinema and Brazilian poetry, its lightness and formality conjures a haunted maze full of specters and illusions.

From Sanchez: "And to all listeners: art may be great and all, but never forget the concrete, historically determined, material conditions of production."

"...has a spooked and nocturnal quality... with a spacious electronic sound that, in a few places, reminds of Burial, but that sonically is much more varied and injected with some South American swing." -The FFFoxy Podcast

"...exciting, thoughtful, and maybe even perplexing." -The Daily Vault

"...mysterious and full of foggy horizons." -Beats Per Minute

"...from stones being set in the rise of pyramids, to the cadence of fields being harvested by hand, The Glass Labyrinth falls into it's own special place." -Lost in a Sea of Sound

"...timeless." -Foxy Digitalis

Recorded in Garça, Brazil from November 2019 to May 2020.

To Live & Die In Space & Time
by Lynn Avery & Cole Pulice

supported by 16 fans who also own “The Glass Labyrinth”

4 peaceful jazz vignettes. Belt of Venus is aquamarine, with a slow, tidal energy as dignified as the sea. The aptly named plantwood is budding, emergent as flowers on dewy moss in the forest. Stained Glass Sauna has a smoky, mountain resonance, while the Sunken Cabin emerges slowly from dust-mote stillness to tortured but deliberating peaks. The whole thing is bursting with character.
