PAUL COUSINS ASSEMBLAGE

Producer and ambient composer Paul Cousins has revealed a peek from his time in lockdown with a magical new piece called 'Assemblage'. Meticulously crafted from 36 individual 1/4" tape loops created on an Akai reel-to-reel, the textural piece gently tickles your ear drums when listened to through headphones. Rising and falling through a series of serene chords, the gleaming work comes complete with a novel DIY video starring model/actor Sarah Sayuri Hare animated from 1000 frames of 35mm film, shot using a Lomography 'Lomokino' camera. Jointly described as "a study of reconstructing analog formats in the digital realm", 'Assemblage' would make a wonderful addition to any meditation playlist. -Holly Mullineaux
