'Audio Diaries' follows the innovative and expansive journey of London artist, Bassically. Written in isolation in a self-established, improvised studio during the pandemic. Bassically is one of many projects masterminded by Raz Olsher, the founder of Fossil Studios. Raz has worked with the likes of Gilles Peterson, Lemar and M. J. Cole and recently writes as Raz & Afla; A new exciting musical duo making waves on the UK Afrobeat scene. This stunning new album came about when Raz, stranded in quarantine on a remote beach in Thailand, challenged himself to write a track every day through the month of April. The 30 resulting tracks have been narrowed down to 13 and are now presented on this immersive journey into the mind of a musical mystic. The audio journal takes listeners on a deep adventure through a dynamic range of UK dance genres. Raz’s vision and project attracted the attention of e-instruments and Electronic Groove, amongst others, who requested to interview him. In this inspirational interview, Raz speaks of his COVID-19 period as one of seclusion and incubation in which he overcame adversity to grow and create. The resulting three-minute video has been approved by the UN’s Office for Partnerships as part of a World Health Organisation’s messaging campaign, using one of Raz’s quarantine compositions as the sound track. “I was confronted every morning by a blank canvas which excited me immensely. Audio Diaries is as much about the apocalyptic state of the world as it is about the small things in our immediate environment.” - Bassically
