‘Ageless’ was originally written in 2009 with elements making their way across the ‘Tiny Isles’ collaboration with Christopher Hipgrave and Jason Corder.
The original piece as presented here is one of my favourite tracks, and one which never really fit in with my other work.
The recordings were made in Japan and contain field recordings out in deepest Saitama, with its beautiful rivers, waterfalls, forests, and wildlife. The typewriter and keyboard recordings were done at Rikkyo High School in Ikebukuro in the English room. Thanks to Mr. Yasuhara for his wonderful typewriter collection on the shelves there, amongst the masses of books. It was an ideal recording studio.
I'm a cultural studies educator, mastering engineer, and current psychology MSc student. I run the Home Normal record label, and am a biennial artist in residence at EMS Elektronmusik Studion in Stockholm, Sweden.
I hope these musical conversations and adventures help on your journey.
