Federico Durand – Herbario (Laaps, 2021)

Chris — Sun, 13 Jun 2021 12:02:15 +0000

In the last few of years I’ve become increasingly obsessed with the colour green. I suspect this originated watching Tarkovsky films, whose use of colour in landscapes scenes is intoxicating to me, and then further entrenched following a return to the familial homeland of Ireland. Emerald Isle, I had forgotten, is a name rightly earned. […]

Federico Durand – Flor Imaginaria (2020)

There’s an inescapable rhythm to the familiar. When I make the journey back from my family home, a two hour or so drive on a Sunday evening every month or two, nothing about the course of the trip changes. The motorways and A-roads follow the same route, the roundabouts and junctions remain constant, my car […]

The Top 20 Records of 2017

Well here we are again, HearFeel’s fifth end-of-year list. Firstly I feel that I should apologise: despite the fact that 2016 felt like the year to end all years I still managed to average at least one post per week and 2017 has fallen quite short of that. I have never posted as little as […]

Federico Durand – La Nina Junco (12k, 2017)

6 years ago I would have found myself revising in the garden for some of my last school exams at this very table, perhaps beneath this same umbrella. 2 years before that, and I was revising for my GCSEs when I was 16. The scenery’s different now; the family home moved and now I sit […]

Federico Durand – Jardín de invierno (SPEKK, 2016)

Chris — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 16:38:23 +0000

Durand’s “Winter Garden”, though recorded in the past, is set in a world just a few months away from now; Autumn is here in full force but it won’t be long before we return to the season that is spelled out with such longing here. Unlike the dreamy reminiscences of A Través Del Espejo found earlier this year, Jardín de […]

Federico Durand – A Traves Del Espejo (12k, 2016)

Chris — Fri, 29 Jan 2016 16:31:38 +0000

Durand’s latest output entitled Through The Mirror is more telling than meets the eye; caught in the faintness of his effortlessly organic instrumental tumblings and tape looped pleasantry is a younger man peering back through the glass, a reflection chronologically displaced and unreachable despite our yearnings. Through these Mediterranean twinklings we get a sense of […]
