Winter's darkness is never fully complete. Even on the year's longest day, even in the darkest depths of the arctic, we light candles and hearthfires, and turn on the lights in our intimate space, illuminating the chambers where we dwell more than ever, holding the light closer to ourselves against the cold absence of the sun. These smaller luminaries, whether held by wood and wax or coursed through metal circuitry and glass, grant shape to the interior castles of consciousness, brightening darkened corners, enveloping the objects and furnishings of our spaces in an aura of preserved solar fire. Meanwhile, the snow transforms the land outside into a single vast interiority, a carpeted room unified by a single texture. Meg Mulhearn's 'Let It Burn Through The Night' partakes of this transformative magic, the pure light of her violin transfigured in the texture of electronic synthesis. Though Mulhearn has often collaborated in a variety of projects, from her duo Spectral Habitat with Elisa Faires to many other ensembles and pairings, this container holds a fully solo process. Here Mulhearn responds to herself within her own compositions, layering her interventions across one another, designing an interior through each piece and tick of the clock. Because of this solitary quality, it recommends attentive listening, wanting to resonate in your own interiority, to illuminate the fixtures and furnishings of the darkened cells within. That’s not to say that 'Let It Burn Through The Night' lacks immediacy—each piece defines the space it inhabits with a luminous clarity, even where Mulhearn understates melody in favor of texture and nuance. There’s something of the piercing quality of artificial light here, where even the smooth, flowing lines of “Calm and Bright” peel back to reveal buzzing synth drones, where violin swells overlap in granular delay space to form an electronic haze of tonality. 'Let It Burn Through The Night's elocution of the cold season doesn’t invoke the length of the cold, gray darkness that some associate with winter months. Though it features elements that sometimes recall the melancholic costume that nature dons in the long night, it combines them with the bright light and celebration of holiday, with the crisp beauty of snow falling outside a window, with the bracing but refreshing snap of cold against skin felt for the first time in an age. It summons you to headphones, to engage in your own interior, but won’t keep you there for long—just enough time to melt the ice that has solidified in the space inside you. So the wheel of the year continues to turn, the record spins, the season begins and ends again, leaving transformation in their wake.
