"Astralize" from Martial Canterel's album, 'Lost At Sea' https://www.daisrecords.com/collections/martial-canterel/products/martial-canterel-lost-at-sea

The past few years have found Sean McBride, the artist behind Martial Canterel, in a state of flux...ebbing back and forth between material displacement and musical aestheticism. His expert pedigree in electronic sound and arrangement bridges the gap created by an undecidability between life at home and abroad His new album, Lost At Sea, is an attempt for the artist to locate this elusive common ground.

The album's introductory track, Giving Up, has all of the hallmarks that Martial Canterel has utilized in the past…melodic chorus, upbeat rhythm and classic sequential dynamism. Where the song diverges is in its core theme of nature: nature’s return to a period of restoration after the failures and recklessness of humankind.

The slower pace of songs like Scampia and Puszta yearn for McBride’s complex love affair with far flung destinations. Re-evaluating the political strife and social unrest in these historical locations, McBride delves deeper into political and geological reference points creating symbolic representations using mechanised percussion, white noise and various sine waves.

The conceptual nature of Lost at Sea reaches even deeper depths within the waveforms of Astralize, a track based upon academic Donna Haraway’s pre-civilized theories of human neglect after the azstralization.

Lyrics:
terra-fied to die as your body falls in lye
for we'll all petrify
astralize

our sights turn to skies
one can't grasp although one tries
we'll never occupy
materialize

many chose the way to believe in heaven's gate
our taste slips away
privatize

terra-fied to die as your body falls in mine
for we'll all putrefy
astralize

our sights turn to skies
one can't grasp although one tries
we'll never occupy
sanitize

many chose the way to believe in holy gates
our taste slips away
sanitize

marked for open ground, join the tissues of the mounds
as dust we are bound
interiorize (privatize)
