Local Action and Lena Raine present Reknowing -- a multi-disciplinary series of remixes and reinterpretations of the BAFTA-nominated composer's landmark debut album Oneknowing (LOC 016CD/LP, 2019). A multiple-award winning composer, Raine is best known for the soundtrack to 2018's video game Celeste, a break-out indie success story that tackles themes of anxiety, self-examination, depression, and more. Considered one of the great modern game soundtracks, it was recently named one of the best of the last 20 years by Pitchfork. Since Celeste, Raine has rapidly expanded her CV, working on both independent (in-development painting adventure Chicory) and major soundtracks alike (she composed the music for Minecraft's recent Nether Update release), while also releasing Oneknowing, her 2019 debut LP that Noisey described as "taking her soundtrack sensibility into luscious new realms, positioning her as one of the most exciting modern composers." A year on from Oneknowing, Local Action present Reknowing, a companion piece that sees the album re-interpreted by a carefully selected international group of artists, composers, and soundtrackers. Three of electronic music's finest current artists feature in Yamaneko, Ziúr, and breakout techno star Anastasia Kristensen, as does one of video game's most respected modern composers in Yasunori Nishiki (best known for his work on Octopath Traveller and the recent Final Fantasy 7 remake). Elsewhere, Finnish composer Jukio Kallio, who contributed to Raine's Celeste soundtrack, emergent TV and film soundtracker D'Anthoni Wooten, and the mysterious lycopene complete the package, offering seven unique takes on one of music's most exciting creatives.
