By contrast, Solidum uses a colder and more rounded sound palette that relies on PZM and boundary mics to capture the upright piano, cello, violin, and harp bowed with rosined fishing line and blend them with digital piano and A Roland JX-3p. This gives the muted acoustics an unnatural smoothness and a pitchy quaver that makes the listener question what is synthesized and what is not. The creative impetus was to see what sense of emotionality and sincerity could be achieved without relying on Fritch’s familiar aesthetic of tactile and vulnerable sounds.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe title Solidum comes from the Latin phrase “in Solidum,” meaning “for the whole.” It’s a mentality that must somehow prevail, at a time when there is less of a sense of closeness than there has been at any point in recent memory.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMany works of art have been made amidst this pandemic and it’s been fascinating seeing how artists have translated the experiences of heightened uncertainty, loneliness and longing for connection. Solidum is Fritch’s one search for connection and deepened empathy in a world where touch and closeness has been so cruelly taken away from our means of showing love.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e01 Movement I\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e02 Movement II\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e03 Movement III\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e04 Movement IV\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e05 Movement V\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e06 Movement VI\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e07 Movement VII\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e08 Movement VIII\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e09 Movement IX\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10 Movement X\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11 Movement XI\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12 Movement XII\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e13 Movement XIII\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e14 Movement XIV\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e15 Movement XV\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e16 Movement XVI\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e17 Movement XVII\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e18 Movement XVIII\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e19 Movement XIX\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e20 Movement XX\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e21 Movement XXI\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lost Tribe Sound","offers":[{"title":"MP3 (320 kbps)","offer_id":67994187727124,"sku":"LTS048","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1035\/0284\/0084\/files\/LTS-048-CoverArt-WilliamRyanFritch-Solidum_3000pxRGB.jpg?v=1793920032","url":"https:\/\/primeunion.shop\/products\/william-ryan-fritch-solidum","provider":"Linden \u0026 Oak","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
