The Slow Music Movement Blog

​Mostly we put our daily recommendations here for the blog readers among you, although occasionally we go longform.
Reading about music is a bit like looking at pictures of food - not nearly half as much fun as getting involved, so we scribble a brief intro to hopefully whet your appetite but you're better off just hitting play. Not very "slow" I know but there's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find the recommendations a handy filter.
​Trust your ears, not opinions.

WHAT WE SAY:

The new ambient LP from Michael Scott Dawson for We Are Busy Bodies is a wonderful thing. In no hurry he introduces found sounds into an electronic ether & wafts between ambient Americana & zero gravity, deep space soundtracks, washing away any worries you might have in the process.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY:


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.
Nowhere, Middle of was mastered by Taylor Deupree
