about

Recorded over a four-week period in early 2020, Freedom Lapse is the debut solo release of Australian multi-instrumentalist and composer Adam Halliwell. A versatile improviser and lover of performance, Halliwell has been an active contributor to numerous musical communities in recent years. The release of Freedom Lapse marks an exciting stage in Halliwell’s journey as an artist with the culmination of several important musical facets that are now becoming foundational to his practice.

As Halliwell tells us, Freedom Lapse owes its genesis to an epiphanic moment experienced whilst traversing a mountainous passage in Mexico, a place where ‘the past present and future stretch out in one place’. Entranced by this environment, its colours, the villages and local life, Halliwell listened to music that inspires him (he cites Jon Hassell here). The result: ‘complete aural, visual and spiritual completeness’, a moment of discovery, he explains. Shortly after, the material that now comprises Freedom Lapse was recorded, distilling this powerful sensorial experience into a body of music that he has now invited the world to share with him.

It's a great great track - how it builds, the polyrhythms, the performance - sublime! Adrian Furby

Automatic

"Automatic" couldn't be a better sequel if you tried - it delivers on what made "Phase" great, but also expands on that psych-funk-jazz fusion to give a couple new hints of flavour. The title track has a great synth beat with those vocoded vocals, 'Downstream' is perfect for a poolside lounge, but 'Memory Palace' is hands down my favourite here - that 90s house-style piano man, it's so upbeat, righteous and makes for a perfect rhythm for the lads to jam over. Flawless album, cover to cover. Xtra Happy

Live from South Channel Island
by Mildlife

supported by 6 fans who also own “Freedom Lapse”

Gorgeous live set with immaculate vibes throughout. The accompanying concert film on YouTube is a visual treat with the panned out drone shots of the endless sky and sea around. An hour of full serene immersion. Trust me, there's cool, and then there's 'playing psychedelic funky jazz fusion with your mates on an abandoned naval fort on a perfectly clear day in the middle of the sea' cool. You'll never be that cool. *I'll* never be that cool. Only Mildlife can ever be *that* cool from now on. Xtra Happy

All Life Long
by Kali Malone

supported by 5 fans who also own “Freedom Lapse”

"The paradox of an infinite string of unique moments informing the repetitive nature of being. The Unification of Inner and Outer Life as the last track’s title suggests? That’s probably impossible. But this album might help getting closer to that goal. Music triggering the weight and scale of the human experience." my review on Veil of Sound: https://veilofsound.com/2024/02/26/Kali_Malone-All_Life_long.html Der Ohlsen
