Hey friends - hope all good :)
So pleased to announce that next in the quiet detail series we have a true legend of electronic and synthesiser music, the visionary Ian Boddy.
Exploring some of the most creative corners of the sound world since the late 70s - releasing a wonderful catalogue of constantly evolving albums, playing live and also running the legendary DiN label which has an unparalleled archive of music and is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year - a stunning and hugely inspiring achievement.
qd14 modal operandi is Ian on top form - taking the quiet details idea and making something that is both conceptually and sonically vast. Using a purely analogue synth and effects set-up, each track moves through successive musical modes, giving melodic and harmonic motion throughout the course of the album. Every piece is also based around a processed field recording, natural and synthetic elements combining beautifully.
At times gentle and calm, at others heavy and powerful - this is a tour de force from a true icon of electronic music - it’s beyond an honour to share it with you.
It’s out next Wednesday 28th Feb, with a listening party 20:00 UK on the 29th.
The artwork for qd14 was done in collaboration with Ian’s very talented partner, Wendy Carroll, an artist and photographer - you can see more here:
For now, here are two albums of Ian’s I love, first his last solo album:
And second an album which is a collection of his live modular synth performances:
So next week friends - this one is very special x
