Mary Lattimore de Philadelphia es una arpista
de formación clásica que ha editado tres
álbumes y varios discos en colaboración con otros músicos. Ha grabado y
ha tocado con varios artistas como Kurt Vile, Sharon Van Etten, Steve Gunn,
Jarvis Cocker, Meg Baird y Thurston Moore.
“Collected Pieces” es un disco de seis temas
y es el segundo lanzamiento en Ghostly International que se editó en formato
cassette y en digital, el que previamente estuvo disponible para descarga y
streaming en sus páginas de Bandcamp y SoundCloud.
Mary toca el arpa de 47 cuerdas Lyon &
Healy cuyos sonidos sutilmente procesa electrónicamente y agrega algunos
efectos en este disco que fue grabado entre 2011 y 2016 y mezclado por Jeff
Zeigler en su vieja casa en Philadelphia.
Este cassette evoca los 12 años vividos en
esta casa que tuvo sus luces y sombras y que se aprecian en la música con sus
bellas y tristes melodías.
El coro grabado con la celestial voz de Mary
estremece por su belleza y el armónico sonido del arpa hace de “We Just Found
Out She Died” una canción sublime. En “It Was Late And We Watched The Motel
Burn” varias notas del arpa están distorsionadas, reflejando el momento
inquietante del incendio.
“The Warm Shoulder” representa seguramente el
cariño recibido cuando niña pues la música tiene un carácter de canción de
cuna.
Mary despliega con su arpa canciones encantadoras
y de una sutil elegancia.

Philadelphia artist Mary Lattimore is a classically
trained harpist who had recorded and performed with renown artists like Kurt Vile, Sharon
Van Etten, Steve Gunn, Jarvis Cocker, Meg Baird, and Thurston Moore. She has
released three albums and records alongwith other musicians.
“Collected Pieces” is a six piece record and her
second Ghostly International which was released on cassette and digital format,
previously available for download and streaming on her Bandcamp and SoundCloud
pages.
Mary plays the Lyon & Healy 47-string
harp whose sounds subtly electronically processes and adds some effects to this
record that was recorded between 2011 and 2016 and mixed by Jeff Zeigler in his
old house in Philadelphia.
This cassette evokes the 12 years lived in
this house that had its lights and shadows and are appreciated in music with
their beautiful and sad melodies.
The chorus recorded with Mary's heavenly
voice unfolds beauty and the harp harmonious sound makes "We Just Found
Out She Died" a sublime song. On "It Was Late and We Watched The
Motel Burn" the harp strings are distorted reflecting the disturbing
moment of the fire.
"The Warm Shoulder" surely
represents the affection received as a child as the music has a lullaby song character.
Mary displays with her harp charming songs
and with a subtle elegance.
