Description
2023, 12″ LP, Clay Pipe Records. Limited to 800 copies on purple vinyl.
Cate Brooks is now up to a seventh release on Clay Pipes and with each new outing she always evolves. ‘Easel Studies’ is no different and sees the artist going further than ever before beyond the pale when it comes to sound synthesis and experimentation on the Buchla Music Easel. What results is melody that’s both abstract and alien but still beautifully compelling. She layers it up in hypnotic fashion across ten tracks that range from the cosmic to the synthetic, the ambient to more rhythmic. It’s the sort of record to put on loud and tune in to closely and lose all sense of space and time. – Juno
