By contrast, Solidum uses a colder and more rounded sound palette that relies on PZM and boundary mics to capture the upright piano, cello, violin, and harp bowed with rosined fishing line and blend them with digital piano and A Roland JX-3p. This gives the muted acoustics an unnatural smoothness and a pitchy quaver that makes the listener question what is synthesized and what is not. The creative impetus was to see what sense of emotionality and sincerity could be achieved without relying on Fritch’s familiar aesthetic of tactile and vulnerable sounds.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe title Solidum comes from the Latin phrase “in Solidum,” meaning “for the whole.” It’s a mentality that must somehow prevail, at a time when there is less of a sense of closeness than there has been at any point in recent memory.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMany works of art have been made amidst this pandemic and it’s been fascinating seeing how artists have translated the experiences of heightened uncertainty, loneliness and longing for connection. Solidum is Fritch’s one search for connection and deepened empathy in a world where touch and closeness has been so cruelly taken away from our means of showing love.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e01 Movement I\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e02 Movement II\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e03 Movement III\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e04 Movement IV\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e05 Movement V\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e06 Movement VI\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e07 Movement VII\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e08 Movement VIII\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e09 Movement IX\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10 Movement X\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e11 Movement XI\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e12 Movement XII\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e13 Movement XIII\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e14 Movement XIV\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e15 Movement XV\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e16 Movement XVI\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e17 Movement XVII\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e18 Movement XVIII\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e19 Movement XIX\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e20 Movement XX\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e21 Movement XXI\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lost Tribe Sound","offers":[{"title":"MP3 (320 kbps)","offer_id":68076744605895,"sku":"tlv1793012499689","price":6.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0702\/1477\/9079\/files\/william-ryan-fritch---solidum_1.jpg?v=1793012516","url":"https:\/\/www.elmwaver.com\/products\/william-ryan-fritch-solidum","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
