David Sylvian releases new composition featuring collaborations with the poet Franz Wright, Fennesz, and others

Not content with just getting biographied all the live long day, David Sylvian has recently released a brand new long-form composition entitled there’s a light that enters houses with no other house in sight. Though there’s no word on the extent to which this light does or does not never go out, we do have a bit of information about the release, which you can purchase right now (though, unfortunately, at this time the deluxe edition has sold out).

Originally composed largely from sampled sound bites stitched together by Sylvian, there’s a light… was conceived as something that “worked in support of and/or complimented” readings from the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Franz Wright. Sylvian then took his composition on tour with Christian Fennesz, who helped to refine and contribute to the piece. John Tilbury later contributed to the recording process as well, and a number of clips included came from sessions with Toshimaru Nakamura and Otomo Yoshihide. Sylvian has written a short essay on the impetus for the piece, its composition, and his relationship with Wright’s poetry, which is available on his website alongside a handful of audio samples from the album.
