Cinema and jazz have always had a symbiotic relationship, from  https://pieroumiliani.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - Piero Umiliani’ s association with https://daily.bandcamp.com/lists/beyond-morricone-the-world-of-italian-film-scores" rel="nofollow -  Italy’s Cinecittà studios  in the 1950s to Quincy Jones’s prolific soundtracking work between 1964 and 1985. The subgenre experienced yet another renaissance in the ’90s by way of  https://daily.bandcamp.com/lists/nicola-conte-album-guide" rel="nofollow - Nicola Conte  and the Fez collective in Bari, Italy; London nu-jazzers  https://cinematicorchestramusic.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - Cinematic Orchestra ; and most prominently, Bristol trip-hop progenitors Portishead.

https://slowlyrollingcamera.bandcamp.com/album/slowly-rolling-camera-2" rel="nofollow - Slowly Rolling Camera,  from Cardiff, Wales, are products of that legacy. Their last album, 2013’s minimalistic, hypnotic  https://slowlyrollingcamera.bandcamp.com/album/flow" rel="nofollow - - River of Mirrors  (2023), a film about kayaking that conveyed the spirituality of the water sport beyond the adrenaline rush. For their latest album, https://slowlyrollingcamera.bandcamp.com/album/silver-shadow" rel="nofollow -  Inhabiting a space somewhere between the Cinematic Orchestra and modern classical composers like  https://olafurarnalds.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - Ólafur Arnalds,  Slowly Rolling Camera’s new album is similarly sculpted from a blend of acoustic and electronic elements, a sturdy framework for cinematic numbers like “Beam.” The atmospheric horns and hypnotic piano prove the perfect soundtrack to a short film shot in Amsterdam, which accompanies the album’s release. Other songs, like “Desert Sun,” and the title track, assimilate every inch of musicianship in the service of imagined films; the latter showcasing rolling drum and bass rhythms alongside spacey analog keys and soaring horns.

With a trip-hop revival in the air and ambient jazz making waves, the cinematic jazz Slowly Rolling Camera has been making for 10 years has never felt more deserving of the silver screen—not to mention the spotlight.
