Tommy Gillard – “Epiphanies”

In 2001 the Exist label came into existence courtesy of the Exist CD compilation. I seem to remember that at the time a number of ideas existed, both music and non-music related, for how Oliver would continue the label. As far as I’m aware, though, no other physical releases ever appeared, as other projects took over.

One of the projects which never saw the light of day was a piece of music by Tommy Gillard entitled “Epiphanies”. I’m glad, with Tommy’s permission, to now make this piece available as an mp3 file.

“Epiphanies” was actually made up of a number of recordings going back as far as 1995. In Tommy’s own words:

I made it with DAT, CD player, and (I seem to remember) a (detuned) radio! All through my [studio] mixer. I think I added loops from the [Roland] JD-800 [synth] as well. I think I had to make up some sounds and phrases, as well as the recordings, so I could mix between more sources.

an old set recorded in Brno, 2004

A recording of my set at the Foundation party in Brno, Czech Republic in 2004. In two hectic, messy, high tempo sections. I think a few minutes must have been cut off in the middle as it jumps about 20bpm between the end of the first and the start of the second. Sound quality isn’t brilliant as the decks were feeding back a bit in places. Also the ending is cut off somewhat abruptly.

my Plex set

I’ve uploaded what I think is a fairly accurate representation of my set at Plex on Friday.

It’s missing all the skips and jumps that happened every time someone put their feet on the steps by the side of the booth, and is probably mixed better. Not sure if it’s 100% accurate in terms of sequencing but I think it has all the same tracks and is definitely pretty close.

It was a great night and I really enjoyed playing despite the minor technical difficulties.

The Chicago Shags – ‘Streetgang’ (Bunker)
Mantra – ‘The Second Age – B1’ (Bunker)
Frequency – ‘We’re Rolling This Way’ (Lower East Side)
ESP – ‘Idiom’ (Synewave)

vanity fare (ARCart retrospective)

This is a mix that happened spontaneously in March or April 2008.

I pulled out all my old releases and this was the result. It was a weird experience – I’d not played many of these for years and even came across tracks I didn’t remember making, let alone releasing. Later that day I realised it was almost exactly 10 years since my first release, so it seemed quite appropriate. I called it part 1 as I have at least enough for a part 2, but it might be another 10 years before I get round to that one.

Max Duley – ‘Divine Confusion’ (ARC(ANE))
Max Duley – ‘Got To Get Down Again’ (ARC(ANE))
Max Duley – ‘Picnic Cut’ (ARC(ANE))
