Willis Ellmore Review 2014

Side A from the 12" by Keith K. Hopewell on VaVa Records
Released Jan 26th 2015
A VaVa Records Transmission © 2015

MYTH - Keith K. Hopewell

Genre-splicing artist Keith K. Hopewell, whose previous recordings bear the nom- de-guerre Part 2 as an artist/producer for Big Dada/Ninja Tune, and worked with artists such as New Flesh, Rammellzee, Blackalicious, Saul Williams, Roots Manuva and Anti-Pop Consortium has created his first release since 2006.

Hopewell’s latest album expands on the ideas explored in his installation, allow- ing us the formal comforts of rhythm through a palette of textures and tantalizing, infrequent plunges into jazz harmony where we experience moments of harmonic richness, pressure, rhythm and the exploration of new possibilities.

The project was initially conceived as a sound installation titled ‘Broken Systems In C Major’ which exhibited at London’s Hoxton Gallery. Inside a dark receptacle, the audience were directly exposed to the visceral qualities of bass resonance, resulting from a feedback loop which was created by two hidden sub-speakers in a constructed echoic chamber (also the first track on the LP).

“Those in reality have lost their way, now they must listen to what myth has to say.” - Sun Ra.
