Featured Guest

Our guest this week is Rhode Island’s clocolan – South African born composer Emlyn Ellis Addison. His debut album – Nothing Left To Abandon – is a beautiful, brooding, melancholic work that completely enraptured me when I first heard it. Released digitally in January on En:peg, an extended vinyl release is set to drop later this year.

He says of his session mix that he found himself focusing on two elements – vocal acoustic treatments, and space. He’s a self confessed spoken dialog obsessive.

“lately I’ve been working to structure the music on spoken narratives – sometimes cutting up stuff I find, otherwise writing it myself. There’s a strange beauty in the mix of words and some wonky old cassette electronica.”
