about

The first half was written on guitar then recorded on our vibraphone. Martha was staying with us and I got her to just keep layering up loads of violin parts. The evil noises are mostly the Korg MS20 through a Knas Ekdahl Moisturizer. The second half was written on the floor of Danny Green’s old house in North London after a house party on his Jazzmaster, it’s an almost mathematical exercise exploring augmented chord progressions and minor chords with major sevenths.

After my first album was released, I was very lucky that BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction show asked me to do a session at Maida Vale. The idea is that a few musicians who have not met are thrown together. I’d been listening to a lot of James Holden’s record The Inheritors and asked the producers if they could invite him. Amazingly he said yes and we got to play together with Mark Holub, the incredible drummer from Led Bib, who I’d seen playing in a free improv duo with Colin Webster a week or so before. We did a version of Vibraphone Piece and then James recorded some parts for this version. James and I stayed in touch and I ended up playing cornet in his band The Animal Spirits, which is how I met saxophonist Etienne Jaumet who plays on this track too. Kev Nickells is a Brighton based noise artist who I’d seen support Peter Brotzmann and I got him to contribute some more violin. Helen Whitaker is one of my oldest friends and she played the flutes.

about

Marcus Hamblett Brighton, UK

Marcus Hamblett is a musician from Brighton, UK. The Quietus wrote his music "could be called post-rock if it didn't also sound pre-rock or maybe as if rock had never happened & folk, modern jazz & the classical avant-garde had merged into a stream of hip, innovative music to soundtrack the changes & discontents of the second half of the twentieth century instead, & Joe Meek had dug John Cage." ... more
