Popfuture is the work of Edmund Ward, an electronic musician based in North London. He has been writing music since the mid-nineties and saw some success back in the day with a band called Eggboy in which he collaborated with his brother John Jo Ward. Edmund originally comes from Malvern in Worcestershire and draws inspiration from his fairly unusual upbringing, living in the middle of nowhere, in a terrifying Victorian house and the youngest of a family of 11 children (all by the same Catholic parents). As luck would have it, Ed's taste in music is also catholic (small c). Drawing on transcendent melodies from Thomas Tallis to Brian Eno, the fine quantised beats of Kraftwerk, the complexity and humour of Aphex Twin, the sneer of Lou Reed, the mystique of Pink Floyd (prior to Gilmour's appalling last three albums) and the hugeness of Justice (French duo). Ed is pretty much switched on by any genre of well crafted music, art, comedy or film.

Introduction to Misapprehension:

Having drawn together numerous talented people over nearly 3 decades, Misapprehension has been created to represent achievements in varying fields, including music, film making, video game production and writing. We are therefore setting up as a record label, film and games studio.

Our first example of this is the launching of the debut album by Daryl Quincy. Daryl began production on this in 2004 using songs written since 1992. He took time out, moving house and jobs and so on and added enough songs to create an album from 2008. Now 12 years further on, after several health difficulties and practical obstacles (housing, hard drive crashes, day jobs, university work etc) the album is launching in 2020. Daryl is our example of never giving up, of fulfilling a dream - however unlikely or unprofitable - to create, to deliver, to experiment living with some regrets and not allowing other regrets, finding out what happens if you reach for the stars keeping your feet on the ground. Ignoring calls of "Don't bother", "Its too much work", "It'll never pay" in order to see projects through that may be a gamble, but in several ways are better done than not done.

Daryl Quincy's debut album, for example, brings together several musicians who's paths coincidentally crossed in the 1980s and he combines them in performance across decades into one song, "Out Of My Head". He fuses Indian, folk, jazz, country, blues, classical and funk music into an album of short catchy 'pop' songs. These have been a long time in production, yet are not 'overproduced' - maintaining some rough edges and real/natural artifacts from basement and attic recordings, with some piano and sax parts even recorded on cassette in the 1990s. His hope is that he has created a natural, 'organic' and genuine anthology, a 'human' album with textures, atmosphere, vulnerability and strength. 

Such a debut album perhaps fittingly encapsulates the ethos of Misapprehension - warmth, humanity, vulnerability, hope and resolve. We hope we deliver this in the creative projects to come. Thank you.
