PEARL
May Roosevelt returns with her new album "Pearl".
In the ten compositions of her fifth album, for the first time her synthesizers blend with the sounds of a classical string quartet. The album merges elements of neoclassical music and romantic electronica as the glistening sound of the theremin takes the lead, uniting this atmospheric sonic ensemble, in dialogue with May Roosevelt's gentle vocals, or solo, forming its own ethereal worlds.
A dive into the sound waves of May Roosevelt's music, leads us to the exploration of inner places and the discovery of all the precious elements that have been created there.

︎“The blend and balance she achieves between classical
strings and her theremin, vocals, violin, and synthesizers results in a
distinctive fusion of neoclassical and electronic music. […] A clear
sign of the high level of artistry at which Roosevelt currently operates
is that theremin is deployed for its musical value, not as a novelty
effect.” Textura︎︎︎
︎“With ''Pearl'', the time has come to open wide the existential oyster of May Roosevelt's World, where all the Magic of her sound was created, to reveal the ''Pearl'', the Source of all the aesthetics of Existence. We now hear the soul of this world as it was, is and will be. An eternal channel of sensitivity, dream and tenderness.” tospitimetaparaxena︎︎︎
