Erin Lang & Jorhito Briseño
Sea & Swords
The collaboration between Erin Lang (of Berlin‑based group Foundling) and Jorhito Briseño (aka Rêyzen) drifts through a sonic landscape that feels both ancient and other‑worldly. Lang’s haunted, shimmering vocals and harp intertwine with Briseño’s world of percussion: glassophone, chimes, ocean drums, and gongs, forming immersive sound worlds of resonance, air, and depth.
Their first encounter was an ambient piece created for the ‘Echoes for Palestine’ project, inspired by “Seagull,” a poem by Palestinian poet Batool Abu Akleen. From that seed, the project grew into an exploration of grief, resilience, and transcendent space. Lang’s work in end‑of‑life care, crafting sound journeys for comfort and transition, meets Jorhito’s practice of breathwork and somatic sound, creating music that vibrates with emotional depth and embodied presence.
The album moves like a tide: luminous, immersive, and vast. It touches vibrant skies and sinks into deep oceans, carrying the listener through shimmering atmospheres, resonant air, and cosmic terrains. This 90-minute album is at once a sound journey, a meditative invocation, and a nocturnal ambient opus.
Rooted in Erin Lang’s broader work with Foundling (foundlingsounds.com), the project reflects her ongoing exploration of voice, texture, and atmosphere as vessels for memory, care, and liminal states.
Sonically, Sea & Swords drifts somewhere between Hildegard von Bingen’s celestial choral lineage and the ambient, shadowed realms of Pauline Anna Strom.
