about

20/20 edit of the A side from 'Rural', 2015

The first Continuous Tone release is another recording by Blamey, called 'Rural'. The A side ('Wait For It') is a seemingly random assemblage of naturalistic clicks, crackles and glitches. It’s like an organic version of a track from one of the 'clicks + cuts' compilations released by Mille Plateaux. What lifts the listening experience above the purely quotidian is the recurring motif of gently struck bells that impart a gamelan-like quality, with echoes of Jon Hassell and even Aphex Twin. The bells are “field recordings made on location in France – in a remote place, where nothing much happens”, says Blamey. “I believe in a very light touch in production: no plug-ins and only slight EQing. My thing is quality imput – focused recording in the field and then endless time on the arrangements.”
