Rafael Anton Irisarri is an American multi-instrumentalist composer, record producer, mastering engineer, and curator living in the state of New York. Irisarri embodies a new kind of composer: one who \"exists in an undifferentiated welter of pop, techno, and classical,\" according to Pitchfork. Midnight Colours comes after a starkly stunning run of releases on Ghostly, Morr, Room40, and Umor Rex, among others. The eight new songs were conceived as a sort of soundtrack to the \"Midnight Clock or Doomsday Clock\" - a symbol which represents the likelihood of a man-made global catastrophe. The result is perhaps Irisarri's most moving and introspective work to date, unfurling a sort of epiphany symphony and sounding like a sunrise in slow motion. Irisarri experimented with the use of heavily \"degraded\" tape, played through a mis-aligned Otari 8-track tape machine that was constantly on the fritz. \"I felt using tape gave the music a particular texture \u0026amp; character, like when you watch old news reels from the 1950's, you know those that talk about the H-bomb, and how we are all doomed,\" he explains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41607393181793,"sku":"0880918264851","price":35.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_11880760_17532956.jpg?v=1719237856","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0880918264851-midnight-colours","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
