die ganze platte: Marc Kellaway - Nocturnal Machines/The Cat Box (Di, 30.04.24, 13-14 uhr)

Er schreibt: "I have always been fascinated with the blurring of boundaries in sound - between the acoustic and the electric, the real and the artificial. For me this is closely related to the hours shifting between day and night, where the relation between sight and sound also becomes more uncertain. Drum machines sounding like birds. Birds sounding like synthesizers. Field-recordings abstracted into beats or drones.
This also relates to some very specific memories: A night time ferry trip past an outside food market closing up, empty of people but coloured lights still on. The yellow glow inside an aquarium filled with underwater plants. Vague activity and blinking lights from a construction site glimpsed on a walk one foggy winter evening.
The starting point for the album was a series of mutating rhythmic sketches made on the semi-modular Pulsar-23 drum machine. I wanted to explore the area between texture and rhythm, still keeping some kind of forward motion while not necessarily defaulting to fixed rhythms. ..."
