hb10 Relmic Statute Morning Tapes
Relmic Statute (Cotton Goods) is Leeds-based artist David Horner, who assembles lulling, grainy soundscapes based on the splicing of field recordings collected from cassettes and old 1/4-inch tape.
The tracks on the album were all produced individually and sporadically between 2000 and 2009, with no intention of assembling them into an album. The album title “Morning Tapes” simply reflects the fact that the instruments, audio and field recordings were all captured, tape looped, edited and processed during the morning.
Mornings are an interesting time to capture music and make field recordings as it is a time when fully formed sounds converge with freshly emerging ones. The tracks on this album try to capture the juxtaposition of those two environments of sound.
Mastered by Jannick Schou.
Limited edition CD of 200 copies and packaged in a recycled PP case. Also available as a digital download.
Released February 2010.
