{"product_id":"alkemie-a-fine-companion-vinyl","title":"Alkemie - A Fine Companion","description":"\u003cp\u003eA FINE COMPANION is an album of newly-composed settings of troubadour songs and texts, written in a dream-pop \/shoegaze\/ psychedelic rock style for an amplified combination of medieval and new instruments. The texts of this project were chosen by Charles Mueller (composer) and the ensemble, with a focus on troubadour lyrics that expand or refute the standard tropes of chivalrous love by choosing poems from a feminine perspective, and by delving into the metaphysical and spiritual subsets of the genre. The unbridled sensuality of the arrangements create space for a raw experience that inspires a visceral reaction in the listener. Mueller has used pre-existing troubadour music as a melodic and modal prompt on a number of pieces, with direct quotations organically morphing as if in an inspired game of telephone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51596758090023,"sku":"669936779819","price":38.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4276582-3161030.jpg?v=1783424228","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/alkemie-a-fine-companion-vinyl","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
