Interview with Fade To Yellow

I was interviewed by Tom Laird, who is the man behind the excellent Fade to Yellow podcast a few weeks ago and have just got round to posting it here! My incomplete thoughts below on the new EP, the process of composition and how to promote electronic music.

Reviews of "Glasshouse"

"In all it seems Glasshouse is just that, a place where you'll need to move about carefully to let the sound waves travel unfettered and undisturbed. Leaving a ray of light to shine in and disperse in all manner of color, this audio architect reveals a calmed emotive sound-escape that is serene, polished and quite nostalgic."
Igloo Magazine

"Something about Northcapes's new EP attracted me to it before hearing it and sometimes you just know that everything is about to just fit into place. I saw the album cover and title for the new EP some months back and was astonished by the sheer beauty of it... I can't imagine a circumstance where this collection of unique and inspiring songs will ever leave my side. I have had the privilege to listen to some great music so far this year, and Glasshouse is up there with some of the best"
Echoes and Dust (Mark Wardale)

"From the first bell like tones of "Capillary Action", the opening track here, this EP just knocked me over and wowed me. Here we have thoughtful, intelligent, sophisticated electronic music. You could call it ambient except its also full of exquisite (and complimentary) beats. This EP, I think, is a work of art...Its that nostalgic vibe, memories of happy, hot summers long ago when there wasn't a thing in the world to worry about. "Glasshouse" takes you to that place...Overall this EP is a MUST LISTEN. You need it in your life. If you like synths, ambient music, good songs, Boards of Canada or related things I don't think you can fail to be impressed by it. Northcape is revealed as a composer with the ability to communicate feeling and create moods. It will certainly lead me to put him in my "artists to watch" list and seek out more of his catalogue. 11/10." "[...]

Words On Tracks

The Words on Tracks blog recently asked me to put a mix together and it's now up on their website. It's electronica, IDM and ambient and contains some of my favourite recent and less-recent music in these genres - unfortunately there was lots of other stuff that I wanted to include but couldn't either because it didn't fit in the mix or because I ran out of time...
