Info:

Olim In Latin Can Be Used To Indicate A Time In The Past Or In The Future. It Can Mean ‘once Upon A Time’ And ‘someday In The Future’. A Name And A Project To Try To Move Away From Trends And Genres, By Taking Inspiration From The Past But At The Same Time Leaving It, Moving Forward To Shape A Different And More Narrative Sound. The First Attempt To Do So Is Recursively: An 8 Track Album, Opening With A Sentence From Bunny Marrett Sampled From An Old Documentary About St Paul’s And The Jamaican Immigration In Bristol During The 80’s. Inspired By Those Intro Words, Recursively Is A Journey Born From Many Years Moving Around, Packing And Unpacking Suitcases, Leaving Villages, Finding Cities,leaving Friends And Finding More, Emigrating, Integrating. It’s A Story About An Entire Generation Trying To Find The Peace Somewhere, Somehow, Sometimes By Repeating The Same Steps In A Loop Of Actions Which Seem To Be The Same But Ultimately Never Are. It’s A Soundtrack Of Those Feelings And At The Same Time A Message Of Hope To Continue The Journey Through The Faith That The Meaning Is The Infinite Journey Itself. An Infinite Loop Masterfully Represented In Carol Rollo’s Illustration. A Story To Be Continued.
