Une ambient mĂ©ditative contemporaine dâune harpiste virtuose et expĂ©rimentale
Câest Ă grand renfort de pĂ©dales dâeffet et dâexpĂ©rimentations que la musicienne de formation classique Mary Lattimore parvient Ă dĂ©barrasser la harpe de son image âringardeâ. Lâambient complexe et mĂ©ditative de cette artiste basĂ©e Ă Los Angeles rappelle les meilleures Ćuvres dâHarold Budd et de Pauline Oliveros.
Outre des signatures sur Ghostly Intl., Thrill Jockey et Three Lobed Recordings, son palmarÚs affiche des collaborations avec Thurston Moore, Steve Gunn, Meg Baird, Sharon Van Etten, Jarvis Cocker, Arcade Fire et Kurt Vile.
Début 2019, Lattimore a sorti un album de remixes de son opus Hundreds of Days (2018) avec des adaptations de Jónsi, Alex Somers et Julianna Barwick, notamment.

While Lattimore is willing to put her instrument through some effects, she never subdues its essential character. Its inherent lightness gives records that bear her name a yielding qualityâ - The WireâWhat makes Hundreds of Days so special, though, is how often it hits ambient musicâs sweetest spotâa place where the world slows down and the performerâs free-floating noise makes you appreciate everything around it.â - Pitchfork
