On this album Faten uses counterpoint as a narrative tool to create music that is mysterious, smudgy, and deeply melodic. From the repetitive structures of modern minimalism and early music\/baroque influences - to more languid textural ebbs and tides, there's a warmth in her use of synthesizers that gives her work a curiously timeless feel. Composing intuitively, her music creates its own world - one that isn't easily categorised.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiary of a Candle is punctuated with tender woodwinds and richly-layered strings, touched by the hazy atmospheres of 1970s\/1980s films. Its understated heart-on sleeve romanticism follows the rhythm of nature: it bends in the breeze, drifts through the air, and settles on the ground. The ambiance is not an escapism, but the re-focusing of a lens through which humans are no longer the protagonists. Instead, a landscape's intimate details become the central figures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the sparseness of Hiroshi Yoshimura's 1982 album 'Music for Nine Post Cards' as a starting-point influence, Faten's music exudes a wistful yet hopeful sentiment, honouring moments of beauty in the world around us. Some of the album titles are inspired by East-Asian rites and folkloric superstitions, often related to nature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll music written performed and mixed by Faten Kanaan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMastered by Heba Kadry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Redeye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45072500785350,"sku":"809236180711","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1377\/6983\/files\/201375065268.jpg?v=1759948384","url":"https:\/\/www.shugarecords.com\/products\/faten-kanaan-diary-of-a-candle-new-2-lp-record-2025-fire-uk-celadon-green-vinyl-electronic-ambient","provider":"Shuga Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
