Theodore / A Summer She Has Never Been, A Winter She Fears

Lo Recordings

A poetic troubador with an acoustic guitar and a computer, crafting beauteous miniatures with the fragility of dreams. Using a delicate blend of electronic and natural sounds Théodore conjures a world of his own where nothing is quite what it seems.   ‘A summer…’ drifts like a dreamy walk through a pastoral landscape, littered with electronic parts that come alive of their own accord. ‘I dreamt I was throwing stones at the sea’ alone shifts tone poems full of unusual textures and half remembered melodies with an abandoned countryside ruled by a comatose Phantom of the Opera! Like ‘the finest raindrop of April, the erotic kiss of spring’ these tunes breathe with you, creating an almost tactile aural backdrop. Electronic bubbles float, chimes wash and strings hum creating Theodore’s beautifully affecting atmospheres.  Matching the best work of kindred spirits Mum, Matmos and Four Tet, ‘ A summer…’ updates folk and ambient clichés for the 21st Century.
