Active for over two decades in the electronic music scene, Scottish based sound artist and electroacoustic musician o[rlawren] has developed a distinctive and intuitive approach to emotional and intimate details that unfold in his numerous constructions.

Working with field recordings, acousmatic and modular synthesis techniques, "The Intimate Overlap" is presented in a suite of two parts - "a structure in naming" and "a nearness to the world" - over four longform pieces covering the album's 73 minute running time.

Created over a nine year period as a delicate micro-drama of shifting proximities, each holding onto their roots, folding, seeking nutrients, learning and unlearning. An ecological relationship with micro sounds that are at once ecstatic, animated, tentative and visceral. A neurodivergent yearning for new ways to connect, articulate and circulate. An ecology of the senses in a music used as language.

o[rlawren] with guests: Aaron Martin (cello), Cyril Secq (charango), Katie English (flute), and Claire Whyte (vocals). Ltd x 150 copies in a 6-panel 'soft touch' digisleeve.
