Looking At Your Pager

This is Four Tet, (aka Kieran Hebden, aka KH) at Glastonbury earlier this year.

And while it’s a bit of a cop out on the blog posting front (I have commitments (no, not the musical) this evening), I actually do pop this onto my Youtube every now and again, because it’s just such a happy song, with so many chilled people enjoying it and the simple lights shining through the smoky atmosphere and the beat just make you wish that you were there*.

Different sounds

This has been doing the rounds on BBC 6 Music for a while now:

It sounds properly exotic, and it’s by Four Tet, who turns out to be a 39-year-old from Putney called Kieran Hebden. Which is kinda where the exoticness ends. Although I’m pretty sure that we’re listening to a Hammered Dulcimer here (like this one, remember?), so maybe it’s not that mundane after all.

Kieran has been in the music business for twenty years, and has worked with artists like Thom Yorke, Floating Points and Jamie xx. He’s widely respected in the electronic music community, but that doesn’t stop Soundcloud user “Infinbeatz” from telling him to

throw a high lvl filter overlap on the 10k range

at 2:21.

I’m not convinced that doing that would make an appreciable difference, to be fair.
I’m not 100% sure where this unusual, hypnotic track fits into my music collection, but I feel I have to make room for it somewhere, high lvl filter overlap on the 10k range or not.
