RVNG bless us once again with another instalment of their ever fascinating (and vowel phobic) FRKWYS series.  This time they’ve assembled a synth dream team to revive the spirit of compositional collaboration straight outta The Theatre of Eternal Music.

One of the many strands that compose 20JFG’s love of music made with synthesisers is its ability to describe nature in a medium that is completely abstracted from.  As the sounds become more sythesised the creator’s intent is more nakedly revealed and in this instance, the feeling of drifting into night — which let’s face it is pretty fucking abstract — is conjured from the minds of the song’s participants.  Droning waves of synths layer each other like laser coloured veils until more excited flourishes tweet their arrival like thousands of birds of pure light arising for the gloom.

Borden, Ferraro, Godin, Halo & Lopatin – Twilight Pacific

FRKWYS vol. 7 is out on 17th July on LP and CD in crazy limited editions (the leatherette jackets being our fave) and at the end of the month digital download wise.  More info here.

 

…and here’s the record that inspired the collaboration above.  Borden’s verbosely titled collection of compositions was put out in 1981 and contains this jam from 1978:

David Borden – Enfield in Winter

Thanks to Matt at RVNG for the tip and (the ever wonderful) Mutant Sounds for posting it 4 years ago.
