Description:

"Nowhere, Middle of" ist die erste Solo-LP von Michael Scott Dawson. Das Ambient-Album ist auf weichen, generativen TÃ¶nen aufgebaut, begleitet von Aufnahmen alter Gitarren, FahrrÃ¤der, Kassetten, Synthesizer, Ã¶ffentlicher Kunst und Klaviere. Ende 2017 erlitt Dawson einen unerwarteten Anfall von SchwindelgefÃ¼hl. FÃ¼r den grÃ¶Ã?ten Teil der 18 Monate fÃ¼hlte sich der Gedanke, an Musik zu arbeiten, unmÃ¶glich an. An manchen Tagen fÃ¼hlte sich allein der Gedanke, Musik zu hÃ¶ren, unmÃ¶glich an. Als die Symptome abzunehmen begannen, entdeckte er die Liebe zum genauen ZuhÃ¶ren wieder. Schon bald hatte er zu Hause ein provisorisches Studio eingerichtet und begann mit der Arbeit an dem, was "Nowhere, Middle of", werden sollte. - .. MIDDLE OF / CLEAR VINYL

Nowhere, Middle of is the debut solo LP by Michael Scott Dawson. The ambient album is built on soft, generative tones accompanied by recordings of old guitars, bicycles, cassettes, synths, public art and pianos.

In late 2017 Dawson suffered an unexpected bout of vertigo. For the better part of 18 months the thought of working on music felt impossible. Some days just the thought of listening to music felt impossible. As the symptoms started to recede, he rediscovered a love for close listening. Before long he had set up a makeshift studio at home and started work on what would become Nowhere, Middle of. Reflecting on the project, Dawson states «I knew I wanted to rely as much on scotch tape as a computer.»

As recording neared completion Dawson turned to a new source of inspiration. Rereading Oliver Sack's Gratitude and a road trip to Canyonlands with his wife led him to revisiting the mixes with a renewed focus on quiet, space, and patience.
