about

Zarelli is the alter-ego of Carwyn Ellis – a much-coveted tour de force producer/multi-instrumentalist who has earned plaudits as the man behind the music for the 2014 award-winning documentary about Edwyn Collins, The Possibilities Are Endless, spearheaded the lauded Rio 18 project which is the first Brazilian record sung in Welsh, and frontman of Colorama. This project, Soft Rains, is an altogether different prospect. With his Farfisa Pro 110 Organ, Roland SH1000 and Juno 106 synthesizers, Rhodes Electric Piano, Suzuki Omnichord, Apple iPad and acoustic guitars to hand, Zarelli has taken the 1975 vocal recording of Leonard Nimoy reading Ray Bradbury's unsettling but vital short story There Will Come Soft Rains (taken from The Martian Chronicles, 1950), and amped up the sensations with an original composed soundtrack that is (like the story) beautiful, fiery, tragic and tense. 70 years later, it is perhaps a good time to remind ourselves what post-Hiroshima fantasy writers like the humanist Ray Bradbury tried to bring home – (SPOILER ALERT!) that total annihilation is all too easy.
But whatever the future may bring - in the hands of Zarelli, the apocalypse has never sounded better!

Zarelli's Soft Rains is the 6th installment from Seriés Aphōnos, a music library which focuses on left-of-centre innovation, soundtracks, and strange treasures from hidden corners.
