London based multidisciplinary artist and Daytimers internal team member Zar, real name Arun Dhanjal, is releasing his debut EP ‘Practice Makes Miracles’ – a 20 minute piece that explores the duality of the magical and the mundane, spirituality and facing fear.
With each track flowing into each other, ‘Practice Makes Miracles’ EP is designed to be listened through in one sitting and intended for “club influenced music for pondering people”.
Conceived and written during the early part of 2021 after a Vipassana meditation retreat and during lockdown, ‘Practice Makes Miracles’ see’s Arun juxtapose more club ready sounds influenced by techno, deep house and UK Garage against delicate ambient passages influenced by Suzanne Ciani and James Holden, amongst shimmery percussion, dense deep bass and unorthodox sequencing, with each track on the EP flowing into each other seamlessly. This EP was for Arun an exploration in using music to recalibrate the inner world.
Commenting on the release, Arun reflects: “‘Practice Makes Miracle’s is a reminder to myself and anyone who resonates with the music of how anything really is possible through practice, and miracles always arise spontaneously through the process. I wanted the music to encapsulate the duality between the magic of miracles and the mundanity of practice, how they’re born out of each other and collapse back into each other in an ongoing cyclical nature. This was really reflected in the songwriting process, the choice of sounds and the artwork. How out of denseness, glimmers and shimmers of the miraculous can be revealed, and collapse back into the murk.”
We are presenting ‘Practice Makes Miracles’ EP in one piece.
‘Practice Makes Miracles’ EP will be available after the 16th of March HERE.
