part 3 of the melody as truth studio vinyl documents

2nd outing from jonny nash & suzanne kraft in their matstudio series. these records are intended to catalogue some of the experiments, explorations, accidents and fortuitous events that regularly take place at their amsterdam studio. each record features two compositions created from a collage of works.

suzanne kraft and jonny nash are matstudio.

the fifth release on the animals dancing label is a special one. sourced from recordings of a live set from 2014, animals dancing famiglia jonny nash & suzanne kraft (diego herrera) originally created these tracks in l.a. ahead of a series of live performances together. after some finishing touches made in jonnys studio in bali in 2016, animals dancing are very excited to finally launch these two to the club. za talent will see you now.

jonny nash (guissian curve / melody is truth) and firecracker s lindsay todd get barefoot and turn out a stunner of an lp. over the course of twelve compositions we find the pair utilising their recordings in a whole host of ways, avoiding the well-trodden cliches of the exotic and instead attempting to achieve a personal interpretation of the flora, fauna and climate of the island. spending time amidst the insects, rice fields and scorching sun, the pair gathered a library of found sounds which were then taken back to a studio space to be stretched, mangled and manipulated alongside a variety of electronic and acoustic instruments. the outdoor studio itself became a living instrument, with the duo setting up multiple microphones for durations of up to 12 hours around the space, layering and processing the results in tracks such as fauna mapping and a series of small frogs

next up, mat8. passive aggressive, the first collaborative album release from jonny nash & suzanne kraft.

jonny nash remix! not an animal keeps up the pace and pressure with yet another high quality distinctive release, further cementing the labels specific sound and revealing more of the scope of its musical mission. machete savane are compromised of label co owner andy bainbridge and producer/composer saul richards. manticore continues with their instantly recognisable hi octane yet organic discofied sound, as previously displayed via their releases on cynic and redux. remix wise, there s a very much night and day choice to be had here, with johnny nash (land of light) providing his trademark blissed-out ambience to a beatless rendition and ian blevins taking the original even further into dancefloor territory, upping the tempos and evoking the drive of paperclip people.

jonny nash returns to melody as truth following his - phantom actors- ep. -exit strategies- puts nash s layered guitar textures at centre stage, further demonstrating his ability to draw emotion from the simplest of elements. a glimmering mini lp of lush and spacious compositions, surrounded by nash s own unique air and atmospheric touch. beautiful, tip!

jonny nash (land of light) pulling out he deepest set of cuts on his own new label... sublime tip! melody as truth is a record label run by jonny nash, primarily as a vehicle for his personal output.

the world outside resonants metallic. its activity humming calm harmonics. i am in stasis. liquified. receiving alien signals. unseen universes translated into sound. notes bend like light reflected in a curved, hard surface. sine waves as my sinews stretch

hot on the heels of inre rydmen, the ep that the swedish multi-instrumentalist group tommy awards released via origin peoples in mid-june, come the remixes. drafting in a cohort of the very best, this impending release will see the likes of jonny nash, coyote and mystic jungle tribe jump on the remix duties, touching original productions with their unmistakable idiosyncrasies. bartosz kruczynski, the polish producer better known under his earth trax guise, is another name credited on the release, offering up a 15-minute epic as he reinterprets penultimate track, hans logan. also to see an appearance on this ep is the romanian eirwud mudwasser, offering up a rendition of the track ‘mike sierra foxtrot’ reworked in a similar esoteric expanse, albeit it quite a bit more lucid. oscillating electronics mesmerise and an arpeggiating synth melody gradually make way for marimbas. sweeping, elongated strums of guitar stretch out like the horizon and the dialogue between various melodic elements continues throughout as we bear witness to various transformations. irregardless of pacing, the meditative quality remaining consistent throughout each glorious edit.

ben smith return with a raft of solo material after his debut release on nunorthern soul back in 2012. the movedrill projects saw ben weave between rock and folk roots and this latest projects sees ben push the folk sound he has become known and respected for. renown as a multi instrumentalist, b.j. smith is perhaps best known for his wonderful dedications to the greats release which have seen him cover mos def, the pharcyde and outkast in his own unique style, ben is also half of balearic super duo, smith & mudd and one third of white elephant with jim and chris from crazy p.

as the sun rises a little higher in the sky, above machine emerge from their winter hibernation with the first fruits of their impeccably assembled new release schedule. jonny nash takes on jose manuel s summer wind and, much like the superb melody as truth releases he s penned, sets out a widescreen canvas of tone and melody, as piano and vocal punctuate the sonic plain. twisted tongue take on maricopa s recently unveilied we could maybe feat. nicola kramer. and the result sounds like loose ends operating as in-house band at a speakeasy orbiting a distant nebula the b side has seconds another day beautifully reconfigured for sunrise moments by slo, while b2 has an original slo moment bombora which, much like it s namesake is a gentle balearic breaker washing over the sonic reef... bona fide bottled sunshine people - above machine are back !

last year tornado wallace touched down at the esp institute with his thinking allowed ep, a slab of wax that proved pivotal in his musical aesthetic, beautifully complimenting our catalogue. he ups the ante further with circadia, his second 3-track ep that riffs on esp themes whilst sophisticatedly amplifying their character. the title track lays trance-like arpeggiated vocals over thunderous tropical toms, opening up into an epic group chant. time of nectar coasts along, blanketing us with soft pads and soothing pan pipes before jonny nashs palm-muted stratocaster makes its cameo. the essential house jam on the b-side, soft light, will no doubt pump its way through dance floors this summer, dont sleep!

the second ep with remixes for seahawks *invisible sunrise* album, this time made by jonny nash, rune lindbæk & Øyvind blikstad and cos/mes.

last year s acclaimed sea power & change ep, a melancholic project from the mind of celebrated portuguese powerhouse tiago, is now revisited through the lens of three essential esp institute artists. side a gives us a take on strange fruit by our heroes soft rocks — a smacked up dub/boogie rendition leaving the beautifully dark mood intact whilst twisting the the rhythms toward the tough side. on side b, secret circuit (eddie ruscha of laughing light of plenty, and soon to release his solo release for esp) stuffs wild combination in his saddle and takes us for a ride through a futuristic version of the wild west with a funky bassline and distant whistles, only to be rounded out by a blissed-out epic re-rendering of yesterday is gone by somberero galaxys jonny nash. its a family affair.

ten year celebration of music from memory
