Search - Con Dolore :: This Sad Movie

Using movie music as an underlying concept in the production process, Con Dolore attempts on "This Sad Movie" to capture the moments in one's life, both joyful and sad, to create the soundtrack we all live by. With subject matter such as a detailed series of dreams, "This Sad Movie" is an experiment with sounds both analog and digital. The album uses sampled drums, layered synths and guitars to create a warm, yet sometimes abrasive sound. The material on the album spans a period of two years, beginning with a trilogy, written as a way of coming to terms with a love lost.... starting with bliss and ending with confusion and hopelessness. As the recording wrapped up, Kristy and Ed began working out their live sound with added member Wes Snowden, a veteran of the Orlando Punk Rock scene. The live side of Con Dolore is a well-oiled machine. Most of the material on the album is tightly sequenced behind neatly organized bass and guitars. The vocals are mature in confidence and detail, and are easily heard on the CD as well as in live performances. Much of the drum work on the album f! eatures Pat Wood, who created the samples and rhythms that were sliced and diced for the final songs.
