Francis Harris - St. Catherine And The Calm (LNS Remix & Nadia Sparrow)

In the wake of Francis Harris’s third album, "Trivial Occupations", this remix EP offered a breathtaking reinterpretation of “St. Catherine And The Calm.” This standout version comes from Vancouver born, Berlin based producer Laura Sparrow, known as LNS.

Instead of a standard electronic revision, LNS paired hardware synthesis with live acoustic instrumentation. She brought in her sister, professional flutist Nadia Sparrow, to perform over the track. This flute performance layers with floating tape delays of Francis Harris original piano and vibraphone phrases.

Backed by a calm, breakbeat influenced drum arrangement, the production keeps the warm feeling of the original while adding a percussive layer. It is a thoughtful, melodic addition to the catalog that completely redefines the original track's energy. A very special piece of the Scissor & Thread catalog and our classic of the month.

Did we mention that “Tailored Cuts, Vol. 06” is also available as a vinyl EP? 🎶 Pick up your copy at your local record store or online here: https://scissorandthread.lnk.to/TailoredCuts06 🙌
