As if we needed any more reasons to be excited for this release, Ackroyd has now shared a fourth and final single from <em>Liminal<\/em> called &#8216;Continuum&#8217;. The track comes with an accompanying video by Tom Newell, portraying the cyclical continuum of nature. Speaking about the video, Ackroyd says:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cTom has been making visuals for my live shows and also several music videos for nearly 15 years and this is another creation that works beautifully. It gives plenty of space for the music to breathe and changes effortlessly with the structure of the piece. I really like the idea of trees to represent the idea of a continuous cycle, and the multiple layers help to reinforce the idea of repetition that is both similar and constantly changing. The layers of dense tree images that are the same but flipped and placed on top of each other creating transparencies and other happy accidents feels very much like the layers in the track where everything is running side by side but with little musical moments from both the piano and violin peeking out over the top of the texture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This feeling is given a new life in the Dolby Atmos mix. Sam Coveney who did the mix toured with me on sound for many years when I lived in Brighton and knows my music really well. This Atmos mix sends all the elements more into their own space and although it still feels like the original it is much more enveloping.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Watch the video below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bGSgE7czxOM?si=MdcwovFeC0mAeYRF\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liminal, the much anticipated new album from tremendously talented multi-instrumentalist and composer Poppy Ackroyd, is nearing its release.
