ACP029 Koen Park - Pastoral Pioneer 2008 Acroplane_Recordings - www.acroplane.org Koen Park is the work of Ian D Hawgood. Working between his small apartment in Tokyo and his mum's garage in south London, he makes washed out electro-hip-hop -pop-folk-shoegaze music. Pastoral Pioneer was made with circuit bent casios, drums, piano, field recordings, melodica, harmonium, warbly old tape recorders and musical smarts. The results are both unique and wonderful. 01 The Sky Is Filled With Frequency 02 Isle Of Sheppey 03 Archaic Eremite 04 Pastoral 05 Smaller Than A Forest 06 The Phonological Loop 07 Computers As Brains 08 Permanence Is A Thing Of The Past 09 Death Of Clans 10 Ca5Co5A10 - GêPG1 11 Hope In The New Age 12 Geothermal 13 Pre-Pioneering 14 I'll Be A Pioneer Yet Mum 15 The ABC's Of Happy Living Also released today is 'Everything In Shadow', a Koen Park CD release on Experimedia Recordings. It's kind of a sister release to this, as Ian used similar gear. Both releases are super melodic. Cheers to Lisa for her cover arts!
