This one was my take on the phenomenal field recordings of Alan Lomax — whose work has influenced generations of musicians, often without them even knowing it.

Anyone who lived through the ’90s, or at least the party kids who were there, will likely recognize Lomax’s legacy through Moby’s sampling of Sounds of the South (1960) to create the trip-hop anthems Natural Blues and Honey.

Now, decades later, those same recordings are available in the public domain via archive.org, but back when I first found Negro Prison Songs from the Mississippi State Penitentiary (recorded by Alan Lomax in 1958 at Parchman, Mississippi), it felt like discovering unpolished gold.

I made so many tracks using those samples — this is the only one that survived. Another super chill tune: just me playing chords on my keyboard, building something to calm, to drift with, something to dub.
