Artistic creations, often like memories, are etched onto mediums. However, sometimes they become lost relics only to be rediscovered and brought back to life. Such is the case with “bRap and fOrth 9” — an auditory snapshot from Cevin’s musical past.
In his latest revelation, Cevin brings forward a series of recordings that take listeners back to his nascent music-making days. Found on 4 track tapes, these recordings, mostly from 1985, transport us to the renowned “bites” apartment — a place where creativity seemingly knew no bounds.
The distinctiveness of Cevin’s gear collection during this period combined with the exuberance of youth and exploration resulted in an abundance of compositions. While most tracks in this collection hail from the mid-80s, a few date from later years but remain bound by the 4-track recording approach. It’s evident that this simple recording technique and raw talent have perfectly captured the essence and ambiance of the period.
There’s something magical about revisiting forgotten fragments of the past. Through “bRap and fOrth 9”, Cevin doesn’t just present songs but rather offers listeners a passage into a particular moment in time — a time of unbridled creativity and musical exploration.
The “bites” apartment, as recalled by Cevin, appears to be more than just a living space. It stands as a symbol of his artistic journey, embodying the spirit and energy of those years. The tracks from this collection, therefore, are not just melodies and lyrics but are memories fossilized into music, echoing the passion and fervor of a budding artist.
“Brap and fOrth 9” serves as a gentle reminder of the impermanence of moments but the everlasting nature of art. Through these rediscovered tracks, listeners not only get a taste of Cevin’s musical prowess but also a vivid picture of his journey. The collection stands as a testament to the importance of preserving and cherishing one’s artistic endeavors.
In his words, it’s a “time capsule.” And indeed, through this capsule, we’re fortunate to travel back and relive a pivotal chapter in Cevin’s life. For fans and newcomers alike, it’s a rare treat to experience such an intimate and nostalgic dive into an artist’s formative years. We’re all lucky Cevin decided to share this special gem with the world.
