A Lullaby for Elisa, by El Conejo

A Lullaby for Elisa

by El Conejo

supported by

Charlie Moonbeam Heart-trembling acoustic ambience...

Like the poems tears can never write... Favorite track: O, Elisa.

Steve Hadfield Delicate guitar led ambience. Contemplative and poignant.

Heavy Cloud No words are required when a gliding guitar in tandem with a range of sparse instrumentation, ethereal effects and subtle field recordings does all the speaking necessary. A perfect couplet of tones and timbres.

about

About the release:

'Here is a lullaby
for all the angels
who never make it to the earth.

Here is a lullaby
to break your heart,
by which I mean only
that it break open and never close again
to the rest of the world'

(this is a free adaptation of a poem by Mary Oliver; it is included (PDF) when the music is downloaded)

Reviews:

"The release comprises a single, but deeply affecting composition called 'O, Elisa' in both original and reprised form, accompanied by an adaptation of a poem by Mary Oliver that hints loss and healing with devastating poignancy. Recorded at the artist’s home, the music admits the listener into a quiet space of plaintive reflection where fluttering sweeps and splayed arpeggios of guitar radiate a warm light giving comfort and soothing repose."

- Stationary Travels (September 2020)

"‘O Elisa’ is the sound of dancing sunbeams through shifting birdsong, cloud and shadow: gorgeous, reflective and hopeful. Fractals of shimmering light creating tiny patterns within patterns, as tempo and strumming sway and roll."

- Ryan Hooper/Medium (September 2020)
