Emerging neo-classical ambient Composer Cephas Azariah presents a track-by-track commentary of his stunning debut album ‘Joy Paradox’.
Drawing on the full spectrum of his influences to write his album, including neo-classical, ambient and cinematic, Cephas’ 12-track LP explores his personal story. “This project is a summary of thirty years of life, and a realisation that you can’t have good things without sacrifice. Achieving success takes a certain level of suffering, and that’s the paradox of joy.”
‘Joy Paradox’ has seen a plethora of support, with praise from the likes of BBC 6 Music, Clash Magazine, The Arts Desk, Wonderland, Soho Radio and many more.
“The music is blurry modern-classical ambience, spread over four sides of vinyl. Put it on loud and its floaty, cloudal tones sound like the subconscious having an easy doze - The Arts Desk
In this exclusive new commentary, Cephas delves deeper into the meaning behind his debut record and how it came to fruition.
