This Friday, November 25, Soundwalk Collective with Patti Smith will release The Perfect Vision: Reworkings via Bella Union. Ahead of the release, Soundwalk Collective with Patti Smith have shared an entrancing remix of the track “Peradam” by legendary composer and producer Brian Eno. The remix album also includes Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith’s beatific rework of “Song Of The Highest Tower” and Jim Jarmusch’s striking reimagining of “Eternity”.

Between 2019 and 2021, Soundwalk Collective and Patti Smith collaborated on a triptych of albums which took their inspiration from the writings of three emblematic French poets: Antonin Artaud, Arthur Rimbaud and René Daumal. Central to the work was the poets’ necessity to travel to different lands to acquire a new vision and perspective on themselves and their art. Recorded in the Sierra Tarahumara of Mexico (The Peyote Dance), the Abyssinian valley of Ethiopia (Mummer Love), and the Himalayan Summit of India (Peradam) respectively, each album retraces the poets’ footsteps, channelled through on-location recorded soundscapes, in search of hidden, earthy sounds that hold embedded existence, with Patti Smith revisiting the poets’ words that have been inspired by the landscapes. The result is a sound and visual montage that traverses the works of Rimbaud, Artaud and Daumal in their voyage to elsewhere.
