Unveiling the Sonic Tapestry: Alex Henry Foster’s ‘A Measure of Shape and Sounds

As Alex Henry Foster prepares to release his new ambient LP, A Measure of Shape and Sounds, on September 20, he shares a glimpse into the album’s essence with the second single and music video for “Sorrowful Bouquet”. This track embodies the serenity and peacefulness that arises from embracing the impermanence of life and the limitations of our existence. Foster’s introspective journey is woven into the fabric of this album, which represents a profound personal breath-in, comprised of layers of guitar loops, reverberations, and oscillations.

Recorded live to capture the direct flow of emotions, A Measure of Shape and Sounds is an intimate journey that invites listeners to abandon themselves to the motion and become one with it. Foster’s intention is to break free from the echo chamber of our own making and end the emotional twirl of redundancy. This instrumental and minimalist album stands as its own living organism, a soundtrack to internal self-searching reflection, urging us to lift ourselves forward and tame the voices that bind us. As Foster notes, “no introspection is really yours until you voice it yourself,” making this album a personal and universal invitation to explore the depths of our existence.
