Irving Park - 3 5 1 (2017)

Irving Park's project was conceived around the notion of framing the emotional content of specific places by re-processing and re-contextualizing audio sourced from both the subject location itself and from the instruments used. As the artist states...

"What I make musically is largely biographical, reflecting particular periods and experiences in my life, and I generally like to make things that are relatable, with a focus on the ordinary".

Each copy of this beautiful album will be completely unique from the next including dusty Bartholomew clothbound maps, circa 1880-1940. With each listener being in the possession of a map, treasures are waiting to be unearthed. As such, '5 2 1' takes the listener on a deeply personal journey which mirrors the very subjectivity of music; each and every listener will experience it differently. Life echoes into the music, because the journey is what ultimately matters, the invaluable experiences shaping the record for all of its days to come, and navigation is never a straight forward thing!
