Runes (aka Harry Selevos) has a
rich, colourful background to draw upon. Presently based in the multicultural
musical city of Manchester, but originally from Greece, his music has a richly
layered feel: he ably creates a tapestry of vocal sounds and noises that
blossom as the album progresses.
Having
studied both classical piano - with all the discipline that requires - and
Asian Vocals, he has a unique mesmeric style.
Taking those elements and fusing them with electronic music for an alien
sound and feel. On his album Orphic
we get a good glimpse of his potential. On “Hide
and seek” his vocals soar like a falcon caught in an upwind gust over
celtic-tinged musical cliffs. “Lovers Side” is a Bollywood musical flavoured
delight; his voice filled with longing and undiluted sincerity, as he stamps
his own interpretation on this musical style. Orphic slowly builds to its finale, “Rhythm” where Runes
voice fully blooms with awe-inspiring vocal gymnastics over a simple
synthesised beat. Orphic is a strong
debut overall.
Runes is truly unique; with an unrivalled lyrical and artistic vision executed flawlessly. He deserves the title of artist.Stuart Ritchie
