Some big changes took place, now all that's left to do is reflect...

Scotland...the place I now call home, love this place.

Hope you enjoy

The Dust Settles

Edges is taken from the album ‘Swept’, an exploration of emotional turbulence, resilience and rejuvenation. Created with electric guitar, modular and analogue synthesizers and pedals, most of the sounds were recorded at the start of the global pandemic. The album is bookended with field recordings made from the artist’s garden in East London. It opens with the sound of tarpaulin sheets on a neighboring construction site swept by heavy winds during Storm Ciara, shortly before the first UK lockdown, and closes with the sound of birdsong after rainfall, signaling hope for better times.

Glacis is London-based Scottish composer Euan Millar-McMeeken, who some may recall from his previous collaboration work on Whitelabrecs including ‘Nothing Hurts Forever’ with Gavin Miller and as one half of Dead Bell, alongside The Green Kingdom. Euan also records as Civic Hall with Craig Tattersall and as Gallowglas alongside Johan G Winther. His most recent work 'Distances' with Adrian Lane was released on vinyl via Oscarson.

As a frequent collaborator, it is fitting that Euan’s debut for Whitelabrecs is in fact further partnered music in the form of ‘Interpretations’. He invited 11 artists to adapt, distort and deconstruct a collection of his original compositions, realising these into an album in its own right. Interpretations are not simply remixes. Euan explains that he’s never really liked the term ‘remix’ as it simplifies the process of working with original material. He never intended for this record to be a remix record and now it is complete, this feeling remains.

Euan aimed high in curating his artists, enlisting the likes of Tape Loop Orchestra, the Humble Bee, C.Diab and Satomimage and placing them alongside friends and regular collaborators including The Green Kingdom, Simon McCorry and Adrian Lane.

The tracks contained on Interpretations are all careful sonic studies of the original work that respond and react in different ways. Some of the pieces contain moments of the original pieces, some are unrecognisable, all are fascinating examinations. A rebirth, of a kind, from the original idea. Through these interpretations, the tracks are given new meaning and new life. Remarkably, this hour of music stands together as an album experience, despite the variety of the line-up and each artist’s approach to composition.

I'm so pleased to share that my rework of LUCHS's song 'Solskur' is out now.

After selecting 'Solskur' to rework, Patrik shared that the piece is actually the emotional centerpiece of the album for him, and is a homage to his mother who passed away from cancer in 2019. As a mother of three sons, this project was deeply meaningful to me. I knew how personal it was to Patrik and I wanted to honor the original song, while at the same time putting a different spin on the song with the thoughtfulness of his original intact. Because the original song was driven by solo piano, I took certain sections of the piano motifs and created mini-vignettes which I re-arranged throughout the remix and used them as a platform to create ambient beds of textures with his piano, my voice and various added synth elements.

I was inspired to share this track from the album The Second Continent as it was used as the closing track in a short film called Fledgling that was released earlier this year. In terms of arrangement it's probably the cleanest track from the album and, for me personally, stands out as one of the most heartfelt. 

Watch out for a new album dropping later this year on Esc.Rec.
