i’ll be my own mirror, the debut EP from London-based composer/violinist FLOCO is a corporeal incantation of waking dreams. Transitional visions imagined through ambient driven, electronic soundscapes with folk music at the very heart. After collaborating and traveling extensively with peers like Martha Skye Murphy and the London Ambient Orchestra, she has settled to confluence all her influences and experiences into this captivating body of work. Building from what she already has. Tender and spacious, it glistens with introspection; an uncanny landscape of both processed and found sounds sews a patchwork of Floco’s dream-state panorama. Coalescing digital and analogue with astute manipulation, hand-built diapason organs or briefly borrowed flugel horns are passed through a veil to an untouched landscape. Sonic grain is wrought and layered over a bed of intimacy and enchantment where abstracted vocals are treated as instruments, building to something more real than the sum of what she has. The EP is rich with sounds found in the serene spaces of the world. Churches, coastline, and canals all sought between the intensities of London life. About You acts as a folk lullaby – built from the bones of the hymns and traditional songs Floco sang as a child, accompanied by the tactile homemade semitonal glass harp made by sound artist Lee Scott Newcombe, indulging the EP’s childlike liminality.
