info | SPA presents I DARE YOU II, a 26-minute continuous mix of textures, chords and soundscapes by Xzavier Stone – inspired by its predecessor I DARE YOU, which was self-released in 2022. IDY II consists of 18 individual compositions that were melted into a 26-minute soundscape that perfectly captures the gloss and sentiment of Stone’s realm while it shows his variety as a composer. Xzavier Stone has become recognizable by his subtle and deft spins on rap and R&B music and his penchant for playfulness and experimentation. The sonic palette of IDY II ranges from traditional instruments and shimmering textures - to soulful stretches and fragmented piano chops - stretched into something that perfectly integrates into the world of SPA. While the music of IDY I was combined with a room spray, IDY II now comes with incense sticks. The burning time per stick lasts approximately as long as the playing time of the music and thus serves as a time measuring device. The incense sticks, which are handmade in collaboration with In'n'out Fragrances and placed in a gracefully crafted handmade box, consist of Galbanum, Frankincense, Hindi, Coniferous needle woods, White birch tar, Honey comb and Muscenone. Their scent will put you in a gentle trance as you listen to Stone’s classically infected ambient compositions, mutating sound objects and playful harmonic spheres, softly reminiscing the aromas of RnB and Jazz. releases July 31, 2024 Written, Produced & Mixed by Xzavier Stone Additional Instrumentation by Mattia Facchini, Yukari Aotani & Tobias Pfister Mastered by Modulaw Artwork by Babybrush & Xzavier Stone |
