One Little Independent Records are delighted to present Scottish multi-talented artificer Lomond Campbell's eagerly anticipated 'LUP' album.Although his music is grounded in sound it often incorporates sculpture, engineering, product design, and visual art. Using a combination of hardware hacking and industrial manufacturing techniques, Lomond builds his own unique instruments and devices for creating sound which he combines with modular synths, piano and voice.'LUP' came about when Campbell was commissioned to build a custom tape-looper for prolific Fife-based independent singer-songwriter King Creosote. He tells us "I wanted the machine to embody the compositional ideas of the two esteemed New York avant-garde composers - William Basinski and Steve Reich. It plays 12-second tape loops which 'disintegrate' over time as the tape passes near to a rotating magnetic disc. This rotating disc also provides a clock and drives two eccentric cams which sends out ever-shifting phase patterns. You can hook the machine up to a modular synthesizer and process the disintegrating tape loops while generating Reichian phase-shifting patterns."The machine itself, LUP, takes tape loops that are 601mm long which allows for approximately 10 seconds of audio. On its journey, the tape passes a large, rotating disc containing magnets inside. The magnets gradually erase the audio information on the tape, whilst the rotating disc simultaneously drives two small follower gears with eccentric cams that generate gate signals. The small difference in size between these gears causes the gate signals they generate to slowly drift in and out of synchronization. Using LUP alongside a modular synth you can patch the drifting gate signals into your synth to trigger patterns that meander in and out of phase, whilst your tape loop is slowly disintegrating.The result, 'LUP', is a dynamic, minimalist, and introspective ambient pleasure. 'LUP' navigates the worlds between music and art, craft and engineering, fantasy and science.
