Review:
David Harrow release Lost In A Circle, an ambient soundtrack recorded exclusively for Obscure. A studio full of modular synths, including Makenoise B+G system and extensive Intellijel modules as well as a variety of acoustic percussive instruments were utilized in the making of this album. The initial tracks were often first take/one take modular performances. David Harrow on the first track Kreuzberg83: “The persistence of memory, I still feel Berlin in my heart , for this piece I went back to field recording I made in and around Kreuzberg in the 80s factory sounds and hums from machinery form a thermosphere, stretched and smoothed into long evolving textures. I found snippets of Turkish instruments, forgotten recordings I had made and reframed them into new melodies. The sounds of church bells and neighbour Sufi’s singing from the courtyard below, calls to prayer echoed throughout my neighbourhood echo throughout as they do in my own dreams” Electronic music visionary, David Harrow, is a Croydon-born, LA-based producer who has been releasing music since the early 80s with a discography spanning the totality of Electronic music; going deep into Dub and experimental sounds as part of the On-U Sound house band to the rave haunts of London with Andrew Weatherall.
