BlackGate
Irish double bassist Caimin Gilmore who can be heard performing with the likes of Shahzad Ismaily, Crash Ensemble, s t a r g a z e , The Staves, Sam Amidon, Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), Aaron Dessner (The National), Ye Vagabonds, and Phoebe Bridgers, among many others, releases his debut record BlackGate, via New Amsterdam Records in collaboration with Dublin Based Ten Spot Records. BlackGate features renowned cellist Kate Ellis, harpist Lavinia Meijer, and Caimin Gilmore on double bass and DX7.
Each track on BlackGate is designated simply as either a Movement or a Segue which “serve as episodes that capture the rise and fall of lived emotion—rushing, yielding, brisk and bright, heavy and halting—mirroring life’s rhythms.” Gilmore pushes his trio to the far ends of their sonic spectrum: The light bouncing rhythms of MVE I are dissolved into a solid wall of noise, the meditative harp in MVE II is met by screeching bowed strings, MVE III adds a Yamaha DX7 into the mix, adding ghostly echoes mirrored in the harp, and MVE IV’s haunting opening renders itself into a lush and pulsing sound world.
BlackGate is housed in a custom made — lithographically printed 10” Tip-On deluxe gatefold jacket produced by Ten Spot Records with layout by M&E Studio Sweden. The album has been designed and mixed to be listened to on vinyl record. Pressed at Optimal Media, Germany, on 100g vinyl.
