Today BAG, transatlantic duo Dan Allison (London, UK) and Jody DeSchutter (BC, Canada), released Skin of the world EP which includes the original track plus remixes by Holst and myself as IlSantoBevitore.
Reconfigured field recordings, synths, vocals, homemade instruments and loops scaffold or entomb DeSchutter’s Dada-esque words, allowing the listener to co-navigate the landscape.
“Dan and Jody paint with words and sound. Dan makes haunting, repetitive beats that loop in and out of each other and which become impregnated with Jody’s spoken word. Jody makes a gentle, beautiful, unruffled sound when speaking, even if Dan’s sound rushes headfirst into speedier beats or slows down to a single, hovering drone. His inconsistency pushes her consistency – lexically and oratorically – to the front of our minds. We see with our ears. His variety provides the backdrop to her measured, imperturbable performance. We hear with our eyes…” Words by Matthew Carey-Williams
The EP made top 5 week on Canadian radio CITR 101.9FM & Discorder Magazine.
