James Holden 5 days off Netherlands 03.07.2008

These are some of my digital landscape pictures, inspired by 
James Holden's Performances and mixes.  
His sound varies as he evolves he juxtaposes deep-hearted emotive    roots with light to touch transient and trippy techno, sprinkled with bubbling pockets of rising bliss.
Listening to his mind-bending blends and manipulations of sonic matter can be transcendental experiences for the listener. 
One follows along on the futuristic soundscape he builds and colours throughout the performance. 
With utter dedication to craft mixing, and an astute and firm grip on technical proficiency he is an open portal to unleashed creative flow.
James Holden remains one of the finer examples of master producers and mixers in my opinion.

Mistaken Memories of Mediaeval Manhattan - Brian Eno NY 1981 p 1 / 4

A unique and multifaceted talent, with every decade Brian Eno's genius conceptualism unfolds to reveal further layers and varying routes of interest.
He describes himself as a "non musician", the musically prolific and fruitful man is the founding member of Roxy Music is best known a a producer.
He was behind the boards for some of the most aclaimed albums made by Talking Heads, Devo, David Bowie and U2.
His sound sound experiments and music are varied  and beautiful including many abstract hypnotic tunes with brilliant countermelodies that should have been hits 
but were not.
               
"In 1989, Brian Eno was invited to compose and perform a new work for the consecration of The Tenkawa Shinto Shrine near Kyoto. The head priest of the monastery was an admirer of Brian's music and owned every record he had made. In his preparatory notes for the performance Brian considers Musical equivalents for the shrine's significance as a receiver of spiritual energy. 
"It occured to me" , he wrote, "that it would make sense to think of the performance as a way of receiving and digesting and then 
re-presenting various acoustic phenomena in the valley."'
He explores concepts of mixing and amplifying ambient sound in concentric circles ranging from the very edge of the valley to the focus point of the shrine itself, proposing the use of fireworks, the sounds of work, little instruments such as clickers and whirling tubes, burning fuses,  steam and the hum of lights on dimmers.
Joseph Cambell observed that "living in Shinto is not the following of some set-down moral code, but a living in gratitude and awe amid the mystery of things...... it is incorrect to say that Shinto lacks moral ideas. The basic moral idea is that the processes of nature cannot be evil."
Brian muses, "Maybe that's why the head monk likes my records. He feels there's some Shinto in there already perhaps.
Certainly the notion of the continuum from nature into music is very appropriate."

Art Department - Without You

The track "Without You" by dj duo and production partners 'Art Department' made up of Kenny Glasgow and Jonny White perfectly showcases the incredible uniqueness of their sound, featuring the down tempo vocals courtesy of Kenny Glasgow.

"Art Department's 2010 house anthem "Without You" was a simple idea, simply executed: gloriously uncomplicated snapping house percussion and a bassline that sounds like a sinking feeling, while over the top a ghastly corpse of a vocal (via member Kenny Glasgow) intones dully, "I don't know what to do without you/ I just can't make it without you." Glasgow sounds like an obsessive who's lost his grip on reality. Despite the emptiness it was a dancefloor favorite; perhaps dancers recognized its deep well of depression as the necessary flipside to all the good vibes, the dark outline that provides both definition and pathos to endlessly repeated big nights out."

I AM: Art Department

Art Department discussing a little bit about their work ethos and the magic component of their partnership that has developed and evolved through years of their working friendship. 
They are fortunate enough to have a symbiotic relationship, 
a joint telepathic collective consciousness that they draw upon automatically during performance. 
They have full confidence in one another's shared vision and just know instinctively what sample or track will be most beneficial to add in without any previous planning or discussion. 
They are a clear example of artists who have invested time and done the leg work laying a solid grounding of trust in and respect for one anothers input and ideas. This has smoothly lead the way to a groundbreaking platform of ever advancing sophistication of style and flow of new material from which they soar.

 Secret Garden Party Festival 2013 Crew Shenanigans

I'm here with some of the other members of my dance crew and a lot of my friends I've met through working at The End, The Cross, The Key, Egg, Fabric and Turnmills Nightclub.

Because of the LOVE and opportunities given to me by the people who ran these places and the amazing people that frequented them I've grown in confidence and my love of music and perception of it has expanded beyond anything I could have previously imagined. Moving from dance to music production has been a natural and somewhat seamless progression. There came a point where my curiosity and obsession with the music we were performing to turned into me being determined to make music and collaborate in productions.

The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.

The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear; the great truth has great silence

Rabindranath Tagore

Phenomenology (from Greek: phainómenon "that which appears"; and lógos "study") is the philosophical study of the structures of experience and consciousness. 
Phenomenology, in Husserl's conception, is primarily concerned with the systematic reflection on and study of the structures ofconsciousness and the phenomena that appear in acts of consciousness. This ontology can be clearly differentiated from the Cartesian method of analysis which sees the world as objects, sets of objects, and objects acting and reacting upon one another.

From the solemn gloom of the temple children run out to sit in the dust, God watches them play and forgets the priest.

Rabindranath Tagore
