Rachel Palmer - Antecedent (2020)

Antecedent — ‘a thing that existed before or logically precedes another’. Having rediscovered her inner musical voice, Rachel Palmer composes expansive soundscapes with intimate and melancholic undertones. Her organically structured rhythms are met by billowing synths that invoke the feeling of breathing in a slow-motion dream-state. Textural layers of granular voices blended with gentle melodies and deep bass lines are the culmination of her innermost inspirations. Previously having shifted her creative outlet to work almost exclusively on visual art, stopping nearly all music composition, the return of her musical inspiration was influenced by meeting the love of her life, relocating across the Atlantic Ocean, experiencing new culture, and ‘finding home’.
