about

from Norman....

“This is the first recording that was not done in my ‘one take; it is what it is’ method. For me, this was like jumping into the pool with a blindfold on! Due to this shift, After Vacation is something of a collaborative record with the very capable and caring Lawrence English, acting as producer for the sessions; taking my sounds and weaving them into finished pieces. I listen to them more as stand-alone stories, rather than my usual style of bouncing conversation. The title 'After Vacation' came from the feeling that something was changing. Not that playtime was over, just that last week was fun and all, but now is a good time to move around into something more realised.”

Pulsating, droning, slow mediating passages, I was hooked on the first listen. One of the most moving ambient/experimental albums I´ve ever listened to. Wish I was there when it happened... tipimarius
