IN MY HEAD

Martinmass

Laagland/Lowland is about Dutch landscape with its desolate fields, vacant polders, low horizons and slowly changing cloudscapes. 
Field recording by Bram van den Oever (https://soundcloud.com/gluid-1).

Laagland II

Here's another new track! I was inspired to write a more mellow, yet still bass heavy, chill-stepish track. I call it 'no time for love' because lately, the only free time I have, I usually spend alone, and I'm constantly keeping myself occupied with trying make these musical dreams of mine come true with time I have. It feels good knowing that I am taking risks to follow my dreams, but it's a long lonely road guided by nothing but hope.

The record, called Fleck EP, features work by Michael Cutting and Vitalija Glovackyte alongside mine; all of which are fixed-media reimaginings of a live show we've been touring since May 2015. It involves birds, fish, old ladies and live text projections. For more info, head here:

Anna Meredith - Orlok

Joe Snape (1989) mixes conventional and homemade instruments with light, text and video to make unusual and emotive performances. His work has been presented at places like The Kitchen (New York), Café Oto (London), and Wonder Site (Tokyo), and also at places like the Elbphilharmonie (Hamburg) and Aldeburgh Music. The Quietus calls Joe’s music ‘goofy, melancholy, irreverent fun – very, very singularly itself.’ Fluid Radio thinks it’s ‘joyous and beautiful’, and one time in The Guardian Nico Muhly called it ‘organized, disorganized fun’. In front of a small audience, AACM trombonist George Lewis described Joe’s work as ‘some seriously unartful sh*t,’ and everybody agreed. Joe is a former UK Young Artist, has been nominated for the Arts Foundation’s Creative Producer fellowship, and has helped commission new work from over twenty young artists and composers on both sides of the Atlantic. He is a recipient of the 2021-22 Paul Hamlyn Foundation’s Award for Artists in Composition and was a 2020-21 composer-in-residence at the beautiful Sage Gateshead.
