“VIOLET”

.

Bast n Move.

When it comes to visible light, the highest frequency colour is Violet (as the famous Pink Floyd Prism cover art reminds us). Violet speaks to the integrity of transparency and truth. There are situations in life that lead us to a point where we are restricted to shine through nothing but the truth. When Bast N Move member Benjamen Kerswell was diagnosed with terminal cancer, both Ben and his collaborator/partner Sabrina Lawrie were brought a tight focus on being completely stripped back to what really matters and in turn became “Violet”in honesty.

The track was birthed and recorded in their own studio The Cabin where they live in Mount Pleasant, Queensland. Bast N Move produced and recorded the track themselves handing the track over to Oscar Dawson from  Holy Holy to do the final mix and Matt Redlich to master. Ben and Sabrina equally collaborated on this track, building on Ben’s original drum and bass idea.  Both contributing to the programming, beats and synth ideas, creating the electronic soundscapes, building and mashing the sounds to suit each different section.

Sabrina describes the song writing process as “We wrote Violet at our own studio ‘The Cabin’ in Mount Pleasant where we live.  It is truly is as magical as it sounds.  When Ben was first diagnosed with Glioblastoma, we made the decision right away to move to wherever we could find a house as close to nature as possible, finding a humble cottage nestled in the Valley between Mount Mee and the D’aguilar Ranges right by a freshwater creek.  As Ben recovered from surgery and started on a long course of radiation and chemotherapy, each day we would focus on writing music, building on his drum and bass ideas and forming songs in response to what we were going through, which in hindsight was a damn lot harder than either of us could have imagined.  Being able to channel our thoughts and emotions into these songs and have songwriting as a creative focus each day, really was the therapy to making it through in those gruesome months.”

Bast N Move are an art pop songwriting and production collaboration between Sabrina  and Ben.  Originally co-writers in Brisbane bands in the early 2000’s, eventually splitting off into different directions from 2005, Sabrina going on to pursue  her solo career and playing in live bands while also working in the local underground scene as a booker and promoter.   Ben meanwhile took a deep dive into recording and production, setting up his own studio and working with young bands on development. Skip to 2018, Sabrina commenced work on her second album enlisting Ben to assist with production. During this time the pair began to co-write again and inevitably formed a collaboration to carry the songs.  Following Ben’s diagnosis in early 2019, Bast N Move was cemented as the project to do this and their focus and energy has been channeled into these songs, ready to finally share with the world.
