Edie & Karnan Saba – A Stone’s Throw: New Song Of The Day
Edie & Karnan Saba share the lush and cinematic electronica single A Stone’s Throw alongside a transfixing video featuring dancer Villa Junior Lemanu.
Edie and Karnan are based in Wellington and here is the record company blurb with more:
Edie (Anna Edgington) and Karnan are each accomplished music producers in their own right. They have a lengthy musical history together, starting off in 2012 as regular attendees at the infamous Paddy Fred and Pat Stewart’s Fresh Produce gigs. Not long after this, Karnan went to Canada; Edie remained in New Zealand.
We can thank the pandemic for few things, but one of these is Anna and Karnan’s reconnection in 2020, after Karnan returned to Wellington. They found synergy through their love of sound, and began sculpting and crafting evocative and otherworldly soundscapes. The two producers bounced ideas back and forth between each other, with one moment of musical creativity organically inspiring the next.
“A Stone’s Throw” conveys the mood and the message of living in the world on autopilot, in a sleepily disengaged haze until someone from the next generation literally shatters that state of being. Through the depth of their collective love for soundscapes, Edie and Karnan have given life to the sonic spaces caught in the twilight of musical imagination.
“A Stone’s Throw” video was choreographed, filmed and edited by Joshua Faleatua, featuring Villa Junior Lemanu. Anna says, “I knew Joshua was going to create the perfect dance piece for this tune. His pacing, sense of space and location, feeling and atmosphere are so in tune – I really want to work with him all the time.”
“A Stone’s Throw” will be released through Blue Riot Records, available on 10 December through all good streaming services.
