“‘Dress Of Stillness’ was composed around a poem by the poet Rainer Maria Rilke. I found it in this little pocket book called Poems From the Book Of Hours, that I used for years whenever I needed some words to improvise around. I have now lost this book of treasures, and this song is what’s left of it. Even though this is originally a love poem to God – affirming and beautiful – it holds a tone of something exaggerated and overbearing to me. How something overly generous can all of a sudden feel overwhelming and imposed. I am playing around with this fine line and shift of perspective in this composition, where the added lower octave in the voice and the arpeggiated synth holds a streak of something ominous. A reminder of how love is sometimes used recklessly to defend actions that are not loving”. (Erika Angell)
