about

With Pendulum, Sara Salverius achieves total art. Sara Salverius & Sunsunsun as the cover says. This work is unique in its kind and it touches. Between reinvented Flemish folk and ageless chamber music, it is singular, subtle. The album is generous with moments of grace and breathing dynamics. An unprecedented work in that the instruments composing it were all made by the excellent luthier Pieter Goossens. Art enhanced by the art of noble wood enchanted by the generous strings of a masterful quartet. Admit that it commands respect, especially since the sound is up to par. Sara composes, sways her accordion on a pendulum. She moves back and forth among the strings. Sometimes it's folk, sometimes it's pop, sometimes it's beautiful counterpoint. Here one thinks of a Beethoven string quartet but with a modern and inventive art of timbres, of a "fabuleux destin" . There, one caresses the baroque then the next moment, switches into Nordic repetitive music and the little mazurka of the 21st century. Sara disarms with her commitment to the gentle, the sober, the just, the beautiful. And we are delighted, at homerecords.be, to take this time, this sincere path, to go where there are still passionate and crazy people, music lovers, lovers of the canticle movement, lovers of works that beat time and dance with their backs to excess. To the great relief of our cells. -- eRno Le Mentholé

Recorded at Muziekcentrum Track, Kortrijk in January and February 2024
The stringed instruments were made by hand out of wood from the same
tree by violin maker, Pieter Goossens. To achieve the right timbre to
matchs Sara’s accordion and her music, we opted for Stradivari models
that were fi nished with a shiny oil varnish.
