Guest jasondonervan Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 DROKK was written in a 6 month period between Barrow’s Portishead world tour and Salisbury’s composing jobs for the BBC. Although it is a soundtrack of sorts, Barrow and Salisbury instinctively felt that music for MC1 should steer clear of the rich orchestration common to many contemporary film scores. Even for electronica the music is often purposefully stark and spare, with the majority of tracks created exclusively on the Oberhiem 2 Voice Synthesizer (a 1975 classic keyboard), and its onboard sequencer used to create rhythm and drums sounds. The only exceptions are a handful of tracks which combine the synth with digitally manipulated and time - stretched performances of acoustic instruments (such as piano, violin, mandolin, ukulele, voice and hammered dulcimer). There is also a brief cameo from Barrow’s other band BEAK>. DROKK will be released on 30th April in UK/EU & 7th May in the US on Invada Records.

Franciscus Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Sounds like an alien soundtrack to me and I'm falling in love with it. Anyone else enjoying this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
