Requiems, a Film by Owen Carswell
Requiems is not only the fourth album from composer Owen Carswell, but it is also a film recorded and edited by Owen. This film is intended to give further insight into the creative process and muses behind the album.
Recorded with a Sony Video 8 XR CCD-TR416 8

________________________________________________________________________
Requiems is the spiritual successor to In Between Here and Never. Unlike many of my other works, Requiems was greatly inspired by literature. During the eight months of recording, I was simultaneously reading an array of books, some of which being,
1. Bhagavad Gita, Vyasa
2. The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, Sogyal Rinpoche
3. Siddhartha, Hermann Hesse
4. No Longer Human, Osamu Dazai
5. The Stranger, Albert Camus
Requiems can be defined as lamentations for the dead. However, I feel as if there is a great misunderstanding within this concept. Why is it that some become fixated on what is lost? Is death not just a simple consequence of life? In No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai, a young and naive man named Yozo with little regard for his well-being toys with death as if it is nothing more than an inevitable consequence of his unhealthy actions. He maintains some level of desire for his future, but fails to maintain the drive to pursue his interests and he constantly finds himself in a cycle of disappointment. His deep seated pessimism constantly prevents him from achieving what he aspires to be.
I believe there is valence in Albert Camus’ belief that pessimism leads to tyranny and therefore violence. That being violence towards others, or towards the self.
It is because of this I fail to see how we as humans can simultaneously mourn what is in the past while pessimistically viewing the future.
My fourth album Requiems is a collection of lamentations for the dead. Dead thoughts, dead dreams, dead memories. It is through the act of lamenting that I can give these things a proper send off, while not denying their importance in my life at one point.
The future remains bright, even through the sadness.
Partially recorded in Ridenbaugh Hall (August 2023 - May 2024)
Recorded, Mixed, & Mastered by: Owen Carswell

With his current abilities and outlets Owen saw it fit to return to his debut project and reimagine it...

Thank you.
Beautiful album. "Rajas" in particular reminds me of Vangelis' film scores, particularly his work on Blade Runner and Bitter Moon.
I just checked him out for the first time and I really liked some of his stuff! Thank you for recommending it
@@unorthodoxexistence You're very welcome! I also think you'd like the composition "Reve" from his 1979 album "Opera Sauvage". It's a beautiful and dreamy piece of music ideal for late evening sunsets: ua-cam.com/video/PGl3041zhAU/v-deo.html

I discovered this album by complete accident and fell in love with it. I've been listening to it pretty much daily; this music helps me calm myself down after a stressful situation and relax after a hard day. It reminds me of the best works in the genre, and I hope more people will find it. Beautifully done, and I can't thank you enough for creating it.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support, it means a lot to know that my music is able to make an impact in other peoples lives, thank you for listening! - Owen
