Motion – Toby Marks (aka Banco De Gaia)
Motion is an innovative new album by sound artists Toby
Marks (aka Banco De Gaia) and Andrew Heath. Although the pair have collaborated
on individual tracks and shows before, this is the first album they have worked
on together. Toby and Andrew started making extensive field recordings on trips
to the four corners of Britain during 2018. They went deep into Llechwedd Slate
Cavernsin Wales, explored Suttle Stone Quarries in Bournemouth, hopped on the
Swanage Ferry to Poole Harbour, took to the air with the Yorkshire Gliding
Club, floated down the Leeds & Liverpool Canal and rode the Bure Valley
Railway in Norfolk. By the end they had a staggering hundred hours of audio in
total, which they processed and transformed, blending piano, guitars and
electronics, to produce a deeply meditative, endlessly unfolding collection.
Resavoir – International Anthem
Resavoir is a collective of instrumentalists, all of whom
represent exciting new directions in Chicago’s fertile contemporary jazz and
creative music scenes. All highly active players, the band’s compiled resume
includes collaborations with Noname, Chance the Rapper, Makaya McCraven, Jeff
Parker, Saba, Nick Mazzarella, Mavis Staples and many more. The self-titled
album presents a juicy suite of elegantly-orchestrated lo-fi jazz instrumentals
germinated from home recording experiments by the group’s producer and arranger
Will Miller. Resavoir's debut is already making waves, gaining support from the
like of Bradley Zero (NTS), Gilles Peterson (BBC 6 Music), Matt Wilkinson
(Beats 1) , Stereogum, Supreme Standards, and Twisted Soul to name a few.
