The Fleeting Light of Love and Grief – Terminal 9

by Louise Jaunet

Fusing krautrock with Turkish instruments, The Fleeting Light of Love and Grief is the latest instrumental band to emerge from the Popop label (Anachnid, Melissa Fortin, Patche). This duo is made up of Lydia Wener (synthesizers, bass, saxophone, theremin, stylophone) and Roy Vucino (electric and acoustic guitars, bass, bağlama, duduk, midi trumpet, synthesizers, MPC, processed drum beats, rototoms, floor toms, tambourine, shells, bells, wood block), assisted by Omri Gondor (drums). This new ‘bedroom krautrock’ project presents “Terminal 9,” the first single from their album, due for release in June.

Born out of sorrow but shaped by a romantic encounter, “Terminal 9” is inspired by the band Air and combines electronic sounds, dream pop, krautrock, and bossa nova in a playful, intuitive way. Directed and edited by Lydia using an old camcorder, the clip explores the superimposition of incompatible colours, textures and movements, evoking Janie Geiser’s approach in her experimental short film The Fourth Watch (2000). 

The Fleeting Light of Love and Grief represents the umpteenth project of one and the musical debut of the other, but promises to deliver a raw and genuine testimony of the love story of a man and a woman who bravely lift themselves to life. The sun rises.
