Hauschka - Stromness

Today I'd like to introduce you to Laurel-based (Mississippi, US) neo-classical composer, pianist, and synth (and breakfast food) enthusiast, Jameson Nathan Jones. Perhaps "an introduction" is the wrong term here since Jones appeared on these pages back in 2021 with his beautiful piece, "Places We Could Have Gone", which I have featured on this Piano Day Special. He's got a handful of releases on his Bandcamp page, with the 5-track Carried EP appearing on Bigo & Twigetti imprint in May 2019. He's now off to release a full-length on an independent label, Fractured Capstan, scheduled for December 2nd, and I am excited to premiere a track titled "Kept" from the upcoming album, Somewhat the Same. The result is a very humble "collection of sonic experiments created with no cameras, no recording engineers, and no intended end-game or subsequent expectations," and it is moving in its honesty, sincerity, and warmth. Here, gently guided modular synth arpeggios are accompanied by soft piano keys, a touch of distorted lead swarms, and driving percussion to create a melodic journey through voltages and space. It's a beautiful marriage of organic and synthetic, and I think that when you hear this piece, you will appreciate my choice for today's track premiere. 

"Kept" was among the first tracks written in an empty church during the first lockdown. It started with some simple piano ideas, which I layered using the same felt upright featured in my 2018 release, "Sanctuary Sessions." The piano sits in the church's large, reverberant sanctuary, and I've always found that some kind of magic happens when recording such an intimate sound in such a large space. As was a common theme for this album, those initial recordings were fleshed out back at my studio, where I created a bed of tape loops from samples I had made of the church's magnificent pipe organ. While the organ features much more prominently on other tracks, I find the instrument's string celeste stops to be so stunning I tried to work them in almost like a reverb-drenched synth pad at various points throughout the record. Several layers of synths and eurorack percussion continue to build through the climax before it fades back to its humble beginnings."

Somewhat the Same

Kept

TRACK PREMIERE : Jameson Nathan Jones - Kept

Inspired by the unseen that lies behind the everyday, Revelations is a musical journey about changing perspectives. By learning to ignore what is apparent on a surface level, we can seek truth in what we discover beneath.

This is brought to life in Revelations through the textured use of synthesizers, orchestral instruments, acoustic drums, and sound effects. Each track introduces a new mood, undulating through progressions that result in unexpected changes and transformations. The arrangements reflect the idea of altered perspectives, combining instrumentation and production methods that go against what is expected.

Written in a period of psychological darkness, Revelations is the result of using trauma and grief constructively in the production of art. The process works to transform pain into something positive, an alchemical conversion of lead into gold through the retort of artistic expression. Through doing so, what seemed to be the end was shown to only be a new beginning.

Inspired by musicians and albums across many genres, such as John Carpenter, Këkht Aräkh, Mogwai, Radiohead, Deftones, Arcanist, Disasterpiece, Survive and others, Revelations fuses together disparate familiar elements into something new.

The Profet has arrived...now hear the sounds of the Revelation.

Not Home may seem an unusual choice of single from Anne Garner’s upcoming album Lost Play but there’s precious little that is conventional about this singer-songwriter. Fans of her strange, seductive melancholy will be beguiled once again by the song’s signature union of disembodied sadness and reassuring intimacy. Warm waves of electric guitar and synthesiser cradle glitchy, restless percussives, the soaring silvered pedal steel of Jack Hayter (Hefner, Dollboy) and a lyrical message both beautiful and hard to hear.

Not Home and Porya Hatami's remix are available across all major platforms and in lossless 24bit audio exclusively from Slowcraft Records.
