about

So pleased to say that up for their interpretation of quiet details we have the wonderful Daniel DeWitt, who, as The Lifted Index, has taken idea and made a beautifully peaceful and cathartic album that’s a real honour to release and a lovely addition to the series.

A vastly experienced live performer and with a series of past releases exploring his elegant and highly-processed guitar playing, he shapes beautiful journeys that massage the body and soul - and we see that in all it’s glory with A Still Voice.

The album builds on his past work and takes in a more experiment and minimal direction - nothing is superfluous, every element is perfectly chosen and shaped to soothe and ease the listener into a reflective and hypnotic state of mind.
In part also inspired by the Endō classic, Silence, here is the intentional decision to exclude any voices or guitar melodies on this one to further punctuate the feeling of disconnection.

The album manages to bridge the gap between this careful and considered attention to detail and a feeling of spontaneity and organic evolution as each track unfolds.
Deep bass tones live next to his guitar manipulations, while affected and unknown sounds fill the spaces in between.
Hazy lo-fi elements contrast with pure sounds, it’s a masterclass in restraint from someone who understands and knows exactly the headspace they’re aiming to give to the listener.

As always the artworks was made in collaboration with the artist, with Daniel sharing a series of gorgeous photographs he took at the time of making the album. I took these and, in a similar fashion in all qd art, created the image using mixed-media and analogue photography.

Huge thanks to Daniel for being a part of the series, hope you enjoy his stunning album.

He also wrote some beautiful words to accompany the music:

—
Uncertainty, isolation, doubt.

Connection, understanding, peace.

A meditation on the power of silence in a world of noise.

In all things, hope.
