Out of Process is a beguiling amalgam of influences. A matrix of piano
music, field recordings, strings, ingenious samples and chopped percussive
rhythms, it is an album inspired by the absurdities of the modern world;
bulk digital mail-outs, information systems, training days and public
speaking, ambient noise and our own personal frailties. It utilizes some of
the most bizarre and inspired source material (spam e-mail set to music
really shouldn’t sound this beautiful) and meshes the whole into an
uplifting body of hard wired minimal machine music with soul.
Out of Process works because Joe
understands how to exploit the twin virtues of experimentation and
structure. There is a breadth of vision and lightness of touch on show that
has resulted in an album that is as ethereal as it is borne out of the
mundane and Out of Process makes the mundane sound beautiful.
...‘Out Of Process’ is a high
quality independent release; notable for the subtleties, melody, depth and
sense of nostalgia that you’d expect from more established artists. In
addition, its anti-modern and retro sounds make it an unfashionable and
extremely likeable collection of music.
"These compositions display an adroit adeptness
at utilizing diverse aspects to achieve music of appealing demeanour. A
sense of drama is drenched with modern flair."
