Promising Bristolian producer JoeFarr released his debut EP in late 2012 for Tiga’s ever reliant Turbo Recordings, picking up plays from the likes of Dave Clarke, Ivan Smagghe, Dexter & many more.  A further EP on Turbo, ‘Clocks’, followed, as well as remixes for Tiga and Zombie Nation, so enamored were they with his production prowess, and now kick starting HypeLTD’s 2014 campaign, JoeFarr presents four cuts for the Hypercolour offshoot.

Lead track ‘Trapington’ in instantly grabbing, fuelled by serious horse power, with it’s nagging and incessant stabs, clangs and vocal chops, underpinned with a meaty and distorted drum pattern.  ‘Pocket Face’, built around a crunching 909 workout, slaps you around the chops, coming up for air with the spacey synth hook, then back down for more with some almost ‘Red 1’ era Dave Clark-esque vibes on this techno banger.

Flipside, ‘Stuckfix’ keeps things rough and ready, with a mechanical breakbeat juggernaut and tension building strings, whilst closing the ‘Lounge Vibes’ is ‘Fola44’, indeed perhaps the release’s most restrained offering, with it’s deep organ melody springing to life over the dysfunctional beats, doffing its cap to some of the jazzier elements of Detroit techno over the years.

JoeFarr, defo one to watch for 2014, and if his ‘Lounge Vibes’ are like this, we’re keen to see what he comes up with for the more peak time vibes of his repertoire….

...the Symbiosis piece by Malcolm Pointon was very interesting and is the kind of use synthesizers should be put to. Synthesizers should explore new sounds rather than imitate conventional ones... Practical Electronics Magazine c.1975

Malcolm Pointon was born in 1940, Stoke on Trent. He spent his life and career in tape, synthesizer and keys; academia, sound, music and machine.  Here, for the first time, Public Information and Ian Helliwell present the rarely heard works of Malcolm Pointon. With permission given by Malcolm’s widow Barbara, Helliwell has compiled an LP of material taken from master tapes of home-recorded, never released electronic material.

Following a period at the BBC, Malcolm joined Homerton College, Cambridge, in 1969 and it was here where he would discover his electronic-muse. Inspired by Stockhausen and the surge of avant-garde tape music, Malcolm began to build compositions at home using a 4-waveband radio and multi-speed tape recorder. His first piece using these techniques is the skittering “Radiophonie” which opens this LP.

After mastering tape-music, Malcolm began reading, and eventually contributing to, Practical Electronics magazine (edited by our own F.C. Judd no-less). He and engineer cohort Doug Shaw entered an “electronic music construction challenge” in 1973 – and so a battery powered, stylus activated self-build synthesizer was presented to the dedicated circuit heads of Practical Electronics. The Minisonic was born.

Many of the pieces on here were produced using the Minisonic, including the staggeringly heavy centerpiece of this album “Symbiosis” - replete with Malcolm’s own introduction. Elsewhere, Pointon takes us down pummeling arpeggiated rhythms (“Sonata Elletronica), mind-melting-inside-beehive tape pieces (“Poreira”, “Boogie”), freaked-out concrète trips (“Trojan Woman” “Then Wakes the Ice”) and shimmering noise works like the beautiful, “Study 2”.

Malcolm Pointon would be cruelly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at the age of 51. He became unable to operate his studio and so his rare gift to electronic music was gone, until now. Public Information and curator Ian Helliwell are incredibly proud to share Malcolm’s music with you. We will be sending all profits of this release to the Alzheimer’s Society, helping to support people with dementia and their carers on their long journey, right here and now.

2016 – 2017 will also witness a series of electronic music events raising money for the Alzheimer’s Society. Memory Dance. Look out on social media for more news forthcoming.

As the winter comes into its full swing, Kollektives Bewusstsein is proud to release an ambient compilation to accompany the dark and profound quietness of this season. This very eclectic yet harmonious selection of tracks weaves its way through a wide array of ambient music.
