London based artist Cam Deas presents a revelatory new stage in his practice. Following in the footsteps of the likes of David Tudor's Rainforest works, Cam studies in the liminal space between the natural world & synthesis, conjuring deep, meditative and beguiling sound worlds. Some of his most singular and focussed work to date, following on from a series of impressive releases on Death of Rave and Alter.   "I wanted to make something which reflected a scene of nature, outside of the city, somewhere which has become more and more attractive to be over the last few months... So I made these synthesised percussion sounds to be almost real and wooden, which are weaving in and out across different tempos, playing patterns that are somewhat regular, but always changing slightly. This is meant to be analogous with the dawn chorus, or any scene of nature where lots of different small events are happening, layered, at once... But I only had the dawn chorus, so I recorded that at 4am on Monday morning. These individual bird songs weaving in and out, repeating, different birds joining and leaving throughout. So it's meant to be 3 different sound environments, or imaginary frames of an environment at 3 different moments." - Cam Deas

Cameron Deas is one of the few guitarists to emerge from the shadow of John Fahey and present his own radical musical vision. He’s also made a bold transition from the stripped back sonics of his extended suites for solo guitar to an open system of electronics where the guitar becomes the physical interface for a rich and dynamic sound world of flickering electronics, alien tones, tightly controlled attacks and dense, elastic texture. The music initially brings to mind both Gagaku - the glacially paced court music of Japan and the runaway microtonality of the Gamelan in its Javanese counterpart whilst simultaneously generating whole new tongues under Deas expert compositional control. --- Cam Deas / Guitar, Electronics --- Recorded live at Cafe OTO on Friday 5th June 2015 by  James Dunn.
