blue chemise: flower studies

Flower Studies, the enchanting third album by Australia's Blue Chemise, consists of eight intimate, delicate and touching "études", reflecting Mark Gomes's introspective musings on a series of floral studies by 19th-century French photographer Adolphe Braun (1812-1877). Includes download code; edition of 450. "Behold whither eventually/ Imposing sounds and a grandiose bleakness/ Majestic flowers in centuries-old photographs/ And silences where heather grows/ No story, only depictions of flowers/ Nature filtered through a temperament/ The suggestion of poetical ideas/ Nature draws the imagination to infinity/ Paysages composes/ Like beautiful melodies/ Nature's great harmony/ Is that of an immense and divine keyboard/ The diffused freshness of budding greenery/ A cult for flowers/ Privately eavesdropping on nature/ To hear the voices of the trees" --Mark Gomes (Blue Chemise).
