Penelope Trappes - Against The Clock (recording music in ten minutes)

Post by shadowplay » Thu Jun 20, 2019 1:49 am

Penelope Trappes’ solo work is not usually associated with speed. Her stunning releases on Optimo Music and Houndstooth bring to mind the other-worldly atmospherics of Scott Walker, Julee Cruise and This Mortal Coil; it is music that is much more about the journey that it is getting anywhere quickly.

Yet, despite the tight time limit, the antipodean vocalist, musician and soundscaper was able to create a haunting, improvised piece from guitar, synths and her own voice in just 10 minutes.

I adore Penelope's music as Penelope Trappes and as The Golden Filter and this is really enjoyable to watch and for me quite inspirational and made with accessible gear.

I love Mogwai's reworking of Burn On.

"Gorgeous, soaring waves of guitars which feedback and squall deliriously with fluid and organic rhythms”

Thanks for sharing this. I'm now hooked on this series. What really struck me was how visual the music making process has become. I actively started looking for ones that didn't use computers, just to see what they did and how they did it. Learning a lot of cool things and about a lot of artists of whom I had never heard.
