| The Clearing, the debut solo album from Chicago musician and producer |
| The Twilite Tone, aka Anthony Khan, showcases a sound that Tone |
| describes as "trans-genre" - a mixture of house, electronic funk, and |
| instrumental hip-hop that continues Stones Throw's beat-maker |
| legacy - informed by the musical history and spirit of his home town. |
| |
| Tone grew up in a musical household: his parents shared a passion for |
| dance, and his uncle is legendary bassist Hassan Khan. But, he |
| explains, it was "the evolution of the Chicago dance music scene, as |
| well as the evolution of underground hip-hop here, that pushed me to |
| seek, find and ultimately create the perfect beats, rhymes, style and |
| life around who I am authentically," he says. Though Chicago is |
| "often segregated geographically and mentally, it still finds a way |
| to be harmonious, making it a special place to be." |
| |
| Tone first linked up with Common in the '80s, as DJ for him and No |
| I.D. and co-produced much of Common's debut album Can I Borrow A |
| Dollar. He went on to contribute production to several major records, |
| including Gorillaz's Humanz, the hit single "Mercy" from Kanye West's |
| G.O.O.D. Music: Cruel Summer, and John Legend's Love in the Future, |
| for which he received three Grammy Award nominations. |
| |
| Peanut Butter Wolf and Tone initially crossed paths in the early |
| 2000s at a club in Chicago, but it wasn't until a couple of years ago |
| that they were reconnected in L.A. by legendary Chicago DJ Dave Mata. |
| As soon as Wolf heard Tone's solo album, he knew he wanted to release |
| it. For Tone's part, he wanted to "clear and cleanse all the |
| collected debris of the past, whether deemed 'good' or 'bad', to |
| allow people to see, hear, and begin to know me." |
| |
| As is the case with many classic instrumental records, the Akai MPC |
| is the star of the show on The Clearing. The only other gear Tone |
| used was a Korg Triton Workstation and what he calls "a secret |
| Moog-like Module". With this simple setup, he created music layered |
| with personal meaning. Sci-fi motifs threaded throughout symbolise |
| the workings of the mind, and each track is intended to portray a |
| different stage in Tone's life, from the romance of 'Baby Steps' to |
| the speech by Dr. Khalid Muhammad sampled on 'Do It Properly'. |
| |
| With his solo debut, Tone wants to show the world the real Anthony |
| Khan. He says: "The Clearing is a space and place of being free. We |
| need to clear the debris from the desk and see the mahogany wood, so |
| we can do the work. I don't just want to talk, I want to do the |
| work." |
