PATTA X EMORY DOUGLAS

Posted on 2021-06-07

Emory Douglas is a key figure in the Black Panther Party. From 1967 until the Party disbanded in the 1980s, Douglas was involved with the Party after showing an affinity for self defence which is what the Panther’s focused on from the beginning. After linking up with the co-founders mere months after the formation of the Party, he began to travel down a road of graphic design which would make his art synonymous with the identity of the Black Panther Party.

In a bid to pass down Douglas’ messages in a new context, Patta is readying the release of a capsule collection comprising a T-Shirt, hoodie, coach jacket, pouch wallet and sports cap, all of which bears a graphic that tells a story.

ANDREW WASYLYK – BALGAY HILL

Posted on 2021-06-07

As the Spring of discontent took hold on 2020, composer Andrew Wasylyk sought shelter in the familiar. Low-light morning walks in Dundee’s 19th century Balgay Park acted as sanctuary and solace to events happening in the world outside. Opened in 1871 the park, with adjoining cemetery and sweeping panoramic views across the Firth Of Tay’s inner estuary, is known for its astronomical observatory which sits high on a wooded hill and is the only full-time public observatory in the UK.

These walks, along with the comfort found in work and routine, helped alleviate the universal cloud of anxiety that swept the first part of the year, and soon Andrew found that his daybreak strolls were seeping into the music he was creating. Slowly, a collection of luminous, inventive and largely instrumental music was taking shape.

D. ROTHON – MEMORIES OF EARTH

Posted on 2021-06-07

In the years since his 2018 release Nightscapes, D Rothon has been a pedal steel player for hire on some of the strangest singer-songwriter albums of recent times — including discs by the likes of Johanna Warren and Liela Moss. But when D Rothon is on his own time, he thinks about space. Memories of Earth was initially inspired by a childhood fascination with the moon landings and 2001: A Space Odyssey, and his vaulting, star-bound vision on the album is one of wide-lens, cinema-scope space music, daubed with hits of kosmische synths and scorching prog impasses.

HANIA RANI – MUSIC FOR FILM AND THEATRE

Posted on 2021-06-07

Even as she brings the worlds of others into gorgeous fruition, Polish pianist and composer Hania Rani is capable of showcasing a flooring development of her own vision — and Music for Film and Theatre offers a precious document of this progression. Beginning with three works lifted from 2020’s xABo: Father Boniecki, Rani’s staggering ability to combine flurries of wind-tunnel atmospherics with plaintive keys is on full display, just as her Satie-esque invocations for I Never Cry from that same year seem to hold enormous, weighty power in melodious, circulating piano phrases. Music is often the invisible character of film, and Rani breathes life into it.
