Ladies and Gentlemen!<\/p>\n
I am absolutely thrilled to announce Sunday Songs<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by The Beacon Sound Choir. After hearing Sunday Morning Drones<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, Alex and Joe from First Terrace Records<\/a> reached out to me, asking if there was any more recorded material by the choir. So I went through my archives and compiled all the remaining recordings that we made while the choir was going . . . and here we have it, a beautiful 12″ vinyl record of odd choral music from a bunch of folks who used to gather at Beacon Sound<\/a> on Sunday mornings and sing together.<\/p>\n The recordings I compiled clocked in at around 15 minutes . . . perfect for one side of a 12″ . . . so for the B-side, we enlisted the amazing Rutger Zuydervelt<\/a>, aka Machinefabriek<\/a>, to make one long sprawling rework, using the original recordings as source material for his own composition. Rutger made the design for the record as well, using a photograph by Markus Shearer<\/a> from one of the choir sessions. So many beautiful souls involved in this record!<\/p>\n I could not be more happy with how this project has turned out. A huge thanks to Alex and Joe at First Terrace<\/a> for making this happen, for turning a casual, community-based project into a wonderful artefact. Thanks also to Infinite Greyscale<\/a> for releasing the original 10″, Sunday Morning Drones<\/strong><\/em>. And of course, to all the singers who showed up at 10:00 on Sunday mornings to sing together!<\/p>\n
