Suggestiva by Marco Lucchi & Henrik Meierkord

awe peaks through the veil
Grand
the unattainable
Engulfing ear drums and coercing eye lids -

the only way to imagine beyond ourselves;
To soar through the boundless.

Long-time collaborators Marco Lucchi and Henrik Meierkord have been creating music together for years, uploading their sound experiments and medieval-drenched thought pieces to SoundCloud at a rate nothing short of insane. Two veterans of the own respective scenes - in Italy and Sweden, respectively - they continually feed off of each other’s work, crafting poignant compositions that stick to no blueprint.

Ultimately driven by the emotion found in untethered musical creation, the duo often find themselves weaving cello and electronics into engrossing, arresting pieces, yet with no discernible structure, so as to do away with time itself, in its boundary-enforcing manner.

The zenith of such explorations forms Suggestiva - or ’sublime’ in both languages - that exemplifies the psychological abilities of both composers.

With many of its pieces exceeding 15 minutes each, Suggestiva is in itself an exploration of the aesthetic sublime: that which is too vast for the human mind to grasp. Slow-forming pieces range from the beautiful (Mornings, Tides), to the haunting (Dante), and in the end, the downright humbling (Lectio Magistralis).

Directly influenced by the aspirations and shortcomings of religion, spirituality, and medieval alchemy, the two artists aim to sculpt a depiction of all that is sublime - in its most beautiful and its most terrible. The extended pieces themselves are invitations to explore the inachievable, and revel in the glory of humility.
