Invisible Rise

Under the Same Sky

About a month ago, I launched and announced Headphone Community – a special place where independent artists can connect with their supporters in an intimately curated space. The first and currently featured artist is James Murray, whose music I have been covering for over a decade now. We’re only halfway through the month, and so far, I have already published an exclusive track premiere [unavailable anywhere else], an interview with Murray [he’s usually very reserved about sharing his process and technique], and a shout-out to his imprint Slowcraft [including a 50% off discount code to anything in the label’s catalogue, exclusive to the members]. And, yes, I tend to believe that for only $1 a month, as a subscriber, you get immense value for your contribution, not to mention that every dollar raised will go back to the artist! So, I feel very optimistic about the entire project and (on some mornings) proud.

But there is another thing that has been happening behind the scenes. As I began to highlight this artist and spend more time with his sound throughout the month, I started to truly connect with his music on a level much deeper than ever before. Yes, I have already lauded his 2022 album, Careful Now, as one of the best of that year, but as I listened to it again and again and again, it started to open up beyond its sonic medium. It became more than just music – a conversation between a composer and a listener, and suddenly… I really heard. This active and heightened experience of listening reminded me of the very early days of discovering the beauty of music – when I used to nestle with an album for months and years at a time. In the last greatly accelerating decades of social media, algorithms, and time-sliced attention spans, I feel like I’ve been robbed of that. And now, I’m bringing it all back. 

Today’s track premiere is from Murray’s upcoming EP, Clearings, scheduled to be released via Home Normal in April. It’s an alternative mix of one of the pieces from Careful Now, showcasing the evolution of the track with an intimate glimpse into its transition and the final shape. Read more about this alternate version directly from James on Headphone Community.

Sunk Cost Fallacy

Interlude Canyon

Each tone in this sequence arrives like a light crossing a shadow: subtle, deliberate, shining from within. These songs are made of resonant stillness, of warmth hidden in the stillness, of movement born in silence. Each step forward gently glows from the previous step.

Even the Space Dust is the fourth track of my new album, "Shape And Form"; and was made with even the smallest things in mind which have shape and form. Kindly Leave a Like and Subscribe if you enjoy this type of music.
~David G Hobson

The gear I used for the recording is in this list... if you are interested.

Most Used Gear:
Akai MPC Live - The heart of the studio as it deals with beats and samples
KORG Pro X - The master controller with lots of sounds and 88 keys (usually 'stack' my synths for performances like this)
2 Rhodes Chromas - Still my favorite synth(s)
Roland JD-990 - A Mainstay for leads and pads
Roland JD-800 - Pads
KORG TR Rack - Pads and Basses
MiniMoog Voyager with the vx-351 and cp-251 - Awesome for sounds effects, and noise bursts, everything.
Roland SH-101 - This synth has been modified and can create many different timbres and colors. I use a clean saw wave through an amp. Really good for that
Arturia MatrixBrute - The second member of the 'Akai/MatrixBrute' duo. The MatrixBrute is used almost exclusively for sequenced sounds.
Arturia PolyBrute - My second most favorite synth. I use it for just about everything.
Nord Lead 1 - A great VA that can emulate many synths thanks to it's filter type selection and the sort of 'polymod' section.
KORG Prophecy - The KORG pro X has the Prophecy built in, so I use this one less and less.
Line 6 Vetta HD Amplifier head - The secret to many good sounds.
