Sustain by Slow Reels
Ian Hawgood and James Murray began Slow Reels in 2018 from studios in London and Warsaw. Early work involved exchanging modulated long-form textures, recorded on a variety of instruments, notably vintage synths. Reiterative digital manipulations and successive destructive passes through an end-of-life reel-to-reel tape setup resulted in a collection of entirely unrepeatable drone suites.
Their debut Farewell Islands for Morr Music was met with critical acclaim. Sustain, presented now by Fluid Audio, extends the force of this uncompromising aesthetic further, as the artists’ shared medium further degenerates into overwhelming, full-frequency emotion.
