A Christmas tune I pieced together just before Christmas back in 2008. Replete with the fully extended mouth trumpet brass band outro.

In a word: daft.

Nadolig llawen! Merry Christmas!

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Christmas Tune

After being left rather impressed by a performance at 2015’s Tor Fest, Rural Colours are very pleased to bring you an EP of scrappy percussive loveliness from Todmorden’s Sam McLoughlin. You may have come across his work under various guises including N Racker and Tongues of Light, each taking on different restrictions or ways of working.

The Dawn Trance sees a focus on the soft atmosphere of the start of the day, using his collection of homemade instruments, found objects, analogue synths and harmonium, which can be seen in action in his many youtube videos. Sparked off by a recording made at sunrise at Formby beach, the EP drifts through an almost dreamlike state, reconnecting with a near forgotten time of day and marking a new chapter in Sam McLoughlin’s life.

Spectral Expo '67 (2019 Remaster)

one of 3 remixes i was inspired to create for artist melodium's track pistoruis.  the official release, in conjunction with abandon building records, is here on bad panda records: http://badpandarecords.wordpress.com/2012/10/28/badpanda159/

this particular remix features sarah chung's vocals, my vibraphone, piano, and bells - mixed and layered on top of snippets taken directly from the pistoruis master .wav file(didn't have stems for these remixes).  was interesting to see what i could do with a flattened .wav file of a song - typically a much higher challenge than creating a remix having the stems to work with.

some tools i used in the process: speakerphone, ktgranulator, masterverb, sir2, some max4live patches and of course ableton 8.
