FARCA103 Asher Fulero ‘Worlds’ - Cassette
Full Arrow Records is pleased to announce ‘Worlds’, a beautiful new downtempo live-electronic album from prolific Pianist/Composer/Producer and musical wizard/polymath Asher Fulero.
30 years into an artistic journey that has reached across genres and explored around the globe with an incredible array of artists, Fulero once again reinvents his approach, fusing his experiences recording and touring with Emancipator & the Emancipator Ensemble with some of the more cinematic leanings of his long-standing EDM/Experimental Producer/DJ alter-ego Halo Refuser, mixing in elements from some of his musical inspirations including nods to greats like Pink Floyd, Tortoise & Bonobo.
Worlds is minimal and focused yet also luscious and magical, finely tuned yet somehow loose and natural, combining real performances with produced elements into a cohesive, cinematic space. It weaves luscious downtempo grooves with symphonic post-rock tendencies, creating an emotive textural tapestry where dark woodwinds and mysterious slide guitars swirl atop real live drum, bass, and keyboards; all skillfully wrapped in warmly forward-looking production layers that blur the lines between timely and timeless.
The album gets some able assistance from an array of Fulero’s instrumentalist friends, including Nick Werth (Galaxe) on drum kit, Brett McConnell (Threedom) on lap steel, Gina Sobel (Emancipator Ensemble) on flute, and Robin Jackson (Polish Ambassador) on clarinet.
