Ian Hawgood, international man of
mystery. Mr. Hawgood is a hard-working
musician, with an impressive oeuvre
spread over a dozen of quality record
labels. While his Koen Park moniker is
about IDM- and Hip Hop influenced
Electronica, the music he publishes
under his civil name can roughly be
classified as Ambient, Drone and Noise.
His "The Fires Will Die At Night" at
Resting Bell Netlabel is legend already.
For 12rec., Ian Hawgood delivers an
album completely recorded with analog
instruments. His most subtle and
personal up to date. As the title
depicts it, "Enfants Ruraux" is a
journey into his childhood when little
Ian was nearly deaf; he got obsessed by
simple tones and melodies in these days.
On the one hand, "Enfants Ruraux" is a
meditation on the elementary sound of
the piano and the acoustic guitar.
Hawgood is happy to be blessed with a
musical family and circle of friends who
lent pump organ, chimes, violins,
trumpets and loads of other stuff for
further investigation.
On the other hand, the album deals with
various aspects of traveling. UK-born,
Ian Hawgood lives in Tokyo right now but
that was able to call Spain, Italy and
the US home before. Most of the album
was made in Pennsylvania and on trains
to and from New York City. Throughout
the blissful layers of acoustic
textures, field-recordings reverberate
and bring forth impressions from all
these different places. Especially the
mystical Japanese countryside was
inspiration to Ian while recording this
twinkling masterpiece of calm Ambient
music.
