Hello!
I've been very busy over the last year or so working on a number of projects outside the usual 'Adem' busyness - I've been collaborating with other musicians, scoring a film, co-writing songs and producing various artists and bands - more about all of these soon.
Today, I want to talk about the new single by Beth Jeans Houghton on Static Caravan. It's a 7" out today, of which I'm very proud. I recorded, produced and mixed both tracks - the first of which is called 'Golden' the second, 'Night Swimmer'.
Beth and I met a while ago when I saw her perform at a gig - I was immediately struck by the strength of her voice(s) and the seemingly unlimited supply of catchy melody, alongside a really healthy amount of the unusual. When she aproached me a year or so later, asking if I might help make the single I happily agreed.
Her songs are strangely timeless and modern at the same time, and I've tried to make the music sound like forward-looking old music - filled with wonder and weirdness, whilst still keeping the core of the music, tune and performance central. It's very difficult to talk about these things on paper/screen so go listen: Bethspace.
More production on its way later this year.
speak to you soon.
Adem.
