One half of acclaimed duo Raz & Afla, Raz Olsher presents a unique instrumental album entitled ‘Craters of the Lost Souls’, a lush retro-futuristic score to an imaginary Spaghetti Western movie.

During the pandemic I was away on an Island for a couple of years and made music mainly on my laptop, sampling and some basic instruments. When I returned to London and to my studio, Fossil Studios, I was very happy to be reunited with my instruments. I was going through a tough time navigating my existence and purpose and felt that by making music through live instruments I could try and convey my emotions more intimately. Feelings of nostalgia and longing, loneliness and adventures. Slowly the concept of a Spaghetti Western soundtrack presented itself to me. The work was so visual. It was a personal, vulnerable and reclusive process. After sitting with the work for a while, I decided to get some help from my talented friends in order to add to the fabric of sound. I'm no opera singer, nor can I play the saw. I felt that this can only make the work more complete.” |
