For Solacing Grief’s release “op.1” brings five tracks of mesmerizing instrumentals. Exquisite guitar work builds a bridge between all the tracks. From start to finish the release is filled with beautiful moments. The music appears as a silent place of refuge. Time dissolves while you slowly drift into emerging sounds. Melodies and harmonies unfold with room to breathe. Small details take on greater significance in this ambiance and special moments are captured. The often overlooked becomes the heart and guiding light of concise arrangements.

Steven Deacid builds his musical project For Solacing Grief upon the minimalistic onomatopoeia of two guitars. At first glance these works seem unostentatious. Upon taking a closer look a richly coloured dream world opens up. The music shows how working in seclusion without any restrictions result in a joy of temporarily losing oneself. The intuitive use of only a few musical means is an important part of this creative process. In the end, just letting go will bring out these flowing forms and interweaving structures.
