Mapping The Futures Gone By [HNR55]

by CONTACT FIELD ORCHESTRA

supported by

Belette Malade I don't believe the story of the tapes for a second, but his albums consist of lovely diy beats and americana/african sounding instrument loops, a perfect blend. Love it! Favorite track: Battle Of Fair Oaks (bonus track).

Audio Texture I love a good fusion and when they are as fresh and tasty as this then all the better. Straight in the show. Favorite track: Sunstroke on Sunset Ridge.

𝕋𝕨𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕕𝕤𝕠𝕦𝕝 I'll leave it to Kutmuh to explain- "Sounds like Tom Waits and Augustus Pablo smoking opium on the bayou." My favourite track changes on a regular basis. Favorite track: We Sail Against The Heavy Gas.

about

"Mapping The Futures Gone By" [HNR55] furthers CONTACT FIELD ORCHESTRA's exploration of dubby broken percussion and haunting found sounds. Sirens and lasers accent plaintive woodwind arrangements set against mbiras and bluesy guitars. Fitting in a time and place that's uniquely it's own, MTFGB is a travelogue to a lucid dream, a mining expedition or a trip to space--somehow nostalgic and familiar, yet somehow not at all.

This EP is the fourth release from CONTACT FIELD ORCHESTRA with Hit+Run. CFO has also appeared on Giles Peterson's seminal compilation series "Brownswood Bubblers"(Volume 10), and contributed to Ninja Tune's popular "Solid Steel" mix.

Contact Field Orchestra is produced by Damon Aaron. In 2008 he came across a box of 7" tapes at an estate sale in Altadena that turned out to be field recordings of a turn-of-the century orchestra of ex-miners; recorded almost entirely with hand-made instruments and contact microphones. This became the source material for this collection of releases with Hit+Run.

"Mapping The Futures Gone By" is available in two very different limited-edition colored vinyl versions...green/bronze cave drip & green/black heavy-splattered 10" vinyl... each housed in a one-of-a-kind hand silkscreened jackets printed by Hit+Run in downtown Los Angeles. Limited pressing of only 400 copies!
