Sarah Davachi<\/strong> has quickly risen in prominence since her first release five years ago, and “Gave In Rest<\/strong>” represents her highest artistic achievement. By infusing her compositional style within a predilection for medieval and Renaissance music, Davachi<\/strong> unearths a new realm of musical reverence, creating works both contemplative and beatific, eerie yet essentially human. “Gave In Rest<\/strong>” is a modern reading of early music, reforming sacred and secular sentiments to fit her purview and provide an exciting new way to hear the sounds that exist around us.
\nBetween January and September of 2017, Sarah Davachi<\/strong> lived in flux; storing her belongings in Vancouver, she spent the summer in Europe, occasionally performing in churches and lapidariums and seeking respite from her transitional state while surrounded by such storied history.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been a pretty solitary person, but that summer I discovered quiet moments to be increasingly valuable,\u201d says Davachi<\/strong>. \u201cI became engaged in private practices of rest and rumination, almost to the point of ritual.\u201d Though not religious, she sought ecclesiastic environments, sitting for hours in muted spaces and listened to how church instruments augmented them \u2013 their pipe organs, their bells, their choral voices \u2013 and resolved to \u201ctap into that way of listening.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Davachi<\/strong> went deeper into studying early music over that summer, considering how Renaissance musicians experimented with new instruments, forms, and texture. Her reflections led her to the duality of stillness and rest, and upon entering Montr\u00e9al\u2019s hotel2tango with Howard Bilerman, she adapted her modern style to standard approaches of a recording studio\u2019s function. She composed the majority of the record alone at the piano to find specific harmonic colors and movements, then brought in an ensemble of musicians to interact and extrapolate organically with those tones.<\/p>\n

“Gave In Rest<\/strong>” opens and ends at its most unornamented moments: the first track, \u201cAuster\u201d, being played entirely on a recorder and then, \u201cslowed down and opened up so you can hear the innards of the sound,\u201d and the final track, \u201cWaking\u201d, one long take of Davachi on a Hammond organ. The latter is a solitary departure of concrete simplicity and is allegorical in its inclusion at “Gave In Rest<\/strong>“\u2019s end, with harmonic structures of a Baroque style materializing and wavering in long, textural passages of consonance and dissonance. The overdubbed, chant-like singing on \u201cEvensong\u201d was treated through an EMT 140 plate reverb, the very same unit Stevie Nicks used for \u201cRhiannon\u201d.<\/p>\n

Completed after this period of suspension in her life, Davachi<\/strong> finished “Gave In Rest<\/strong>” while establishing herself in Los Angeles. Her new home is a radical departure from her previous Northern surroundings, with its vast reach, otherworldly terrain, and bizarre, isolating nature; \u201cIt is easy to remain anonymous in Los Angeles,\u201d says Davachi<\/strong>. “Gave In Rest<\/strong>” was mixed over a period of two months while she adjusted to this new lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Davachi<\/strong> has mined a bottomless landscape where listeners can witness music\u2019s participation in their solitudes. “Gave In Rest<\/strong>” lends a voice to her personal exploration with a firm, intuitive stance.<\/p>\n
