LAIVERA releases VENTURES – Vol. 3

On the album’s creation, LAIVERA said: ”Although I completed writing the material early, I traveled to south-western France to the Ile d’Oleron for a while and this scenery of the Atlantic ocean with its haunting beauty of raging waves on a cloudy October morning had been my inspiration all along – for a while I considered naming this project ”of winds and seas” but chose to continue with the VENTURES format because I was not ready to make a cut from it just yet. From windswept shores to the lost poetry found in old stones and abandoned castles, I knew my palete of inspiration was a very unique one this time around and even though I was once again on the lands of Eleanor of Aquitaine with whom I have a particular connection and I wrote a piece on Ventures – Vol. I inspired by this fascinating Queen, this time I went on to narrate different stories, perhaps of different aspects of the feminine – that which is like a mysterious yet ethereal sea with depths unknown yet beautiful. This inspiration acted like a filter that I pasted upon more traditionally created pieces like Rain, Helianthus and Mystic Lights that are taken from my latest singer/songwriter album ‘REVIVAL’ and breathed new life into them with those very characteristic elements of improvisation that VENTURES is known for. I never compose for VENTURES, I just improvise and this time it was fun to take already written songs and improvise ethereal varietions upon them”.
