Press Release
Rothko and BLK w/ BEAR : 'Wish For A World Without Hurt'
First release on new Trace Recordings label
Trace Recordings, a new independent label formed by Rothko’s Mark Beazley, is proud to announce its first release, ‘Wish For A World Without Hurt’, a collaboration between Beazley and Washington DC-based sound and visual artist JS Adams (BLK w/ BEAR). The collaboration also marks the first full-length release for Rothko since June 2002’s ‘A Continual Search For Origins’ (Too Pure).
Based around the four Rothko tracks previously released on limited-edition 12" vinyl on Nail Records (Italy), the collaborative effort grew from on-line conversations between Beazley and Adams over a decidedly necessary personal and creative response to the events of September 11, 2001.
Their collaboration created four new tracks for ‘Wish For A World Without Hurt’ with the pair trading sound files between London and Washington. With Adams being a resident of Washington DC, his personal experiences and memories of that day have helped to colour the tone of this subtle and thought-provoking album; a perfect complement to the passionate introspection of Beazley’s original tracks.
Full of warm deep drones, sharp and soft melodies, raw-boned sound and with a common thread running like a vein through each track, ‘Wish For A World Without Hurt’ is a statement of declaration for these times.
