For his Fact mix HOWE envisions a near future in which the radio of a Ford Fiesta, deserted someplace in the thick smog of London, circa 2050AD, chooses up fractured radio signals from a quick fading previous.
The noise of multidisciplinary artist HOWE is broadcast from deep in the heart of his base of London, distilled from the cacophony of a youth invested involved in the city’s club scene. Though taking hints from throughout the musical spectrum, HOWE’s productions and setup works visualize a world of optimum, extremely emotive pop buildingandconstructions, where sci-fi visuals, MIDI orchestras and vocal control are spun together as a single, immediate transmission. His experience as a filmmaker and visual artist just serves to magnify the cinematic flavour of his technique to music, in which the stakes are constantly high and the world he populates is in a state of continuous precarity.
His Fact mix is borne out of this remarkable stress, a speculation on a near future situation in which the radio of a rusted Ford Fiesta, deserted someplace in the thick smog of London, circa 2050AD, chooses up fractured radio signals from a quick fading previous. “I desired it to feel as though a listener from future London is experiencing ghost transmissions from the previous,” he describes. “Jungle, D&B and Dancehall pirate stations, talk radio and Classic FM smashed together to kind a assortment of altered sonics.”
Serving as a reflection on his discovery of electronic music, HOWE’s area pirate radio program consistsof a post-apocalyptic edit of Skilibeng’s ‘Bad Everyday’ – which will be readilyavailable on Bandcamp, with all continues going towards help for those impacted by the earthquakes in Syria and Turkey – a vinyl-only, drum and bass series, newly dug from his mum’s home in tribute to his years working in a record store and guesting on radio reveals as a teen, cyber punk street battle soundtracks and an spooky tapestry of OSTs and HOWE’s own productions, with a specific and well-deserved focus on author Juan Cristobal Tapia de Veer, the designer of the particular soundscapes of precious modern cult series Utopia and the inevitable beauties of The White Lotus.
