Portland-based DJ Douglas Appling (Emancipator) shared Friday the latest single from his forthcoming album Mountain of Memory. Titled “Himalayan,” the track is described in a press release as “a sense of enlightenment, reflection, and achievement, perhaps what one would feel standing at the summit of a long ascent looking out above the clouds. The sounds of waves and reversed piano carry during the outro symbolize a nostalgic nod back to the earlier times at sea level.”
The track is the third single from Mountain of Memory, following “Labyrinth” and “Iron Ox.” Known as a classically trained violinist, Appling’s new album will explore string instruments such as the dilruba and cimbalom, as well as natural, organic sounds like finger snaps and water movements. It’s a continuation of Appling’s longtime concerns with multicultural sound and global consciousnesses.
Mountain of Memory is set to release on April 3 via Loci Records. You can listen to “Himalayan” below, as well as see upcoming tour dates for Emancipator Ensemble, Appling’s touring group alongside Ilya Goldberg (strings), Colby Buckler (drums), Mub Fractal (bass) and Asher Fulero (keys).
