Voices by Ian Hawgood & Stijn Hüwels

The 'No Voices' and 'Voices' connected works that Stijn and I did together were a particularly satisying collaboration. Both were based around a vocal drone I created on an OP-1 sampler/synth which I then processed on reel-to-reel loops. Stijn then layered some gorgeous guitars and both worked so well as longform pieces alongside each other.

Apart from being a truly great ambient artist, Stijn is one of the most skillful collaborators you could work with as he leaves the air between tracks in such an organic way. There is no pressure to fill the sound or adjust elements for the sake of it, and we continue to collaborate happily as friends for private or public consumption as it really is such a perfect match with how each of us quietly and slowly work on music.
