Gaudi

Best loved and noted to date for his genre blending and high quality dub-centric productions, in MAGNETIC, GAUDI has shown us another aspect of his musical self, other ranges in his musical landscape and he has done it with an all star cast of supporting musicians.It is not a departure from the GAUDI we know and love, however...

MAGNETIC is a celebration of bass in all its guises there are six world class bass players featured in the album and GAUDI’s roots as a pianist and self confessed lifelong synth junkie, come up fairly centre stage. His use throughout the album of original, modular and analogue synths, from his big guns: the ARP 2600, Fender Rhodes, Minimoog, Korg MS20 and ARP Odyssey, to the diminutive but no less iconic Casio VL Tone, to his trusty vintage tape echoes and the 24 track analogue tape machine it was recorded on, give the sound an authenticity and integrity right down from the musicians to the mechanics.
