about

In March of 2010, I travelled with my fiance to Cuba for ten days. Despite the short amount of time I spent there, I was overwhelmed by the complexity, culture, rhythm and pulse of the country. I brought with me a Zoom H4N portable recorder and gathered various snippets of the rich acoustic landscape. After returning home, I began using these recordings as a foundation for my own music. I spent many hours editing, warping, looping, filtering, sampling, and mangling the sounds to distil them into songs. Over the next three years, I created an album of electronic music that attempts to tell the story of this visit. I made this music in an effort to relive and restructure not merely the recordings, but the memories of my time there in order to share this journey with others. Hopefully you’ll feel transported as you listen and enjoy these Sonidos de Cuba.

Special thanks go out to all my supportive Rockethub funders for making this project possible. In particular I’d like to thank Kali Dumbrell for being the first to jump on the bandwagon, as well as Patrick and Vivien Clarke, Mike and Linda RIesterer, Kyle and Hayley Riesterer, and Adam Lastiwka for their kind generosity. Many thanks must also go to my loving supportive wife and travelling partner, Tania Clarke.
