Bleep

We're always very excited to hear word of a new Floating Points release and that is more than the case with 'Shadows', a new exploration from the brilliance that is Sam Shepherd. A collaborative EP between Floating Points and his life-long friend, Will Hunt, 'Shadows' introduces a Max/Msp patch designed by Hunt which studies drum machine and synthesizer activity to generate visuals in real-time. Musically, the release features new material from Shepherd, along with some more familiar cuts, and explores largely ambient terrain interposed with Floating Points' signature jazz and funk touches, flourishes of broken beat and the evocative vocals of Fatima. Essential.
