Rf & Lili De La Mora Eleven Continents CD

Blending acoustic arrangements alongside subtle introspective vocals, Eleven Continents is the first offering from multi-instrumentalist Ryan Francesconi (RF) and vocalist Lili De La Mora. In the spirit of collaboration, both decided to invite a few friends to contribute to the record. The addition of Familiar Trees' vocalist Fabiola Sanchez adds a warmth and conversational aspect to the lyrics, while Joanna Newsom's harp adds a resonance to Francesconi's arrangements of cello, viola, winds and subtle percussion. While the arrangements and textures are reminiscent of his releases under the RF moniker, much of the electronic aspect of his other music has been replaced by the breathy tone and sincerity of Lili De La Mora's lyrics. Ryan and Lili teamed up with Lili's long time producer Ken Negrete of Time Release Records to help shape the sound and co-produce the record with Ryan. Rowing at Sea. 2007.
