Release Note ......::
"Workshops" is a new experimental series of releases by Phil Kieran and Jochem
Paap (aka Speedy J). The idea behind this project is to explore the recording
techniques used in the middle of the 20th century and dating right back to the
mid 1950's. Famous inspirational places like 'BBC Radiophonic Workshops' in
England and 'Philips Lab' in Holland have seen some of the most innovative
production techniques, experimenting with the first use of stereo, modular
synths, found sounds and reel to reel tapes. The end result was always
something space age and promisingly futuristic and still to this day fresh
sounding, crisp and exciting.
Phil Kieran and Jochem Paap have decided to use this inspiration to
effortlessly accomplish marrying the past, present and future in an innovative
mix of old ideas with new. As Phil Kieran explains: "We want to try and create
our sound source from a vintage palette, and then take it into something very
high tech, we recorded some of these first ideas at JochemÆs studio in
Rotterdam. I feel like we are only scratching the surface and I am so excited
to really dig deep with this idea".
The first Issue of "Workshops Vol.1 EP" consist of three flowing tracks with an
inimitable organic and atmospheric appeal. A1: 'Paint and Chemicals Dept. Dub'
is the most dance floor focused of the bunch. A dense and hypnotic bass drum
blended with sublime layers of echoing soundscapes. B1: 'Wood and Organic Dept'
starts off with a pendular bass which melts with drippy spaced out sounds to
create a blissful audiocity through vintage sounds and time. B2: 'Wood and
Organic Dept. Dub' the heavy cousin of B1 which leads back to the dancefloor
with its raw industrial frequency build-ups and an uncompromising massive bass
drum.
