Samuel Sharp - Consequential - new album of multi-tracked saxophone serial minimalism, out today from Blackford Hill. (I am especially intrigued by the notion of a "post-classical club night.")

London-based saxophonist and composer Samuel Sharp presents 'Consequential', his second solo album and first release with Scottish label Blackford Hill. A playful, mellifluous and sometimes dizzying brew, Samuel layers and weaves his saxophone notes into intriguing, soporific and occasionally slapstick patterns, with only a small batch of effects pedals for accompaniment.

Samuel Sharp has two secret weapons for captivating his audiences. His saxophone and his storytelling. Innovatively crafted soundscapes blur the lines between classical, jazz and electronic music. He uses harmoniser and delay pedals to create live loops as he plays, but there’s a folksy, grassroots approach to the way that he presents these heady, hypnotic melodies. “I noticed that I connect much better with the audience when I introduce my tracks beforehand,” explains Samuel, who is also known for co-founding and curating the post-classical club night Counter Chamber in Hoxton. “I rehearse the talking bits of my shows as well as the music. I’ve been to stuffy classical recitals over the years and seen baffling sets in arts venues so I want people to feel comfortable at my performances. Every track on the album has a story behind it so it makes sense to repaint the scene live onstage.” Over nine tracks, Samuel dips into his childhood memories, merging pastoral snapshots from frogspawn-spotting holidays in the Lake District with more recent family trips, where the sight of darting rabbits in the moonlight leaves him standing transfixed on a quiet country lane. Based in Hackney, with a recording studio on the edge of Walthamstow Marshes, Samuel lets East London seep into the record too, as heard on the steady rhythms of 'Train Across The Meadow', where he counts carriages thundering past him on his run, or 'Canal Crash', where sharp, punchy bass notes build steadily to a loud splash as he recalls a bicycle accident which propelled him over his handlebars into the Regent’s Canal. Sketches from what he calls his ‘parental diary’ also feature, including spritely, crisp tones on 'Upon York Wall' where Samuel’s saxophone echoes him pretend marching with his daughters along the Roman wall, or the Steve Reich-like minimal repetitions of 'Krasner With The Kids', where he shares his children’s sense of wonder at abstract expressionist painter Lee Krasner during an exhibition at the Barbican. Samuel’s running commentaries during his live sets have been translated into sleeve notes for the new album, allowing listeners to join him on his journey.

is it really a trip to the costco if I'm not drawing little soldiers on the back of the grocery list?

#em draws stuff #em is posting about sharpe #sharpe #turns out that after more than a full day total of watching this guy run around I can draw him fairly well from memory #usually I do a keith or two or a samuel if the mood takes me. but it's sharpe-drawin time today #a little scrumpled up since I dropped him into one of the freezers but I've gone and made an attempt at Aestheticalness anyway

Ask 1 To Crawler: Did you know centipedes eat bats that fall from the top of the cave? (Which is so unfortunate LMAO)

Ask 2 To Aromo (Can't spell his name right lmao): What if the spike cake out of his brain and he could talk for a bit....a case of BAD IDEAS

Ask 3: Lol Springy hears yelling and thinks it's Pyro again being angry and about to tell him off but sees it's Oliver and the mess is EVEN WORSE lol XD

Ask 4: Who do you think is the most evil out of my ocs (probably draw them and the others annoyed or like "bruh")

Ask 5: Xandy meets one of your ocs, probably won't go well like AT ALL

(Heh, answers time)

Ask 1: he knows :>

[Crunch]

Ask 2:

Watcher: Your theory is interesting. In theory this could be, but... there is a small problem.

Ask 3: Lol

[OUFF-]

[Well shi-]

Ask 4: Weeeeell :>

Hmmm, cool question)

I'll tell you about the ones I remember:>

Leroy. This asshole, although cruel, is not very frightening to me, because, compared to Raven, he is dangerous and deadly, but if you take a stronger trollge than him, then his chances are small. But in general, his madness with anger can make him faster and more dangerous (Springy has already seen this)

Chris. He's already more interesting. It’s interesting because it easily ingratiates itself (Springs and Sharp), behaving like a good guy, while at the same time it can frighten you to the point of losing your pulse (hello to the Doll and Springs :>), plus invisibility and the ability to deceive the victim well with manipulations, and then strike when not you are waiting. I love villains like this.

Samuel. Uh, I don't know much about him, but he's a spider, and... he's fluffy :>

Trollen. Well, I’ll say one thing: Leroy, but crazier and also a cannibal. Well, in general, the same opinion as about Leroy. Becky shredded it into cabbage off-screen :>

Logan. I also can’t say that he is very dangerous or evil. Compared to Ethan and Raven - yes, he is cruel and self-confident, but if someone is stronger - no (hello to Sales Man and Sharp).

Doll. Heh, interesting. He's mad, he's dangerous, and he has a void (if I remember correctly) in his body behind those stitches. In general, the fact that in the past he was a doctor is already alarming and does not give the best idea of his inclinations and goals.

Conclusion. If we compare the facts, the most dangerous and evil in my opinion could be Chris. Combined with the fact that Springy and Sharp are okay with him, not knowing who he really is until now (Springy knows he can be scary, but that's common), this gives Chris a huge advantage to hit my characters when they don’t wait, because out of all your villains, he is the closest to them, without arousing suspicion, which cannot be said about others (even my villains), for whom it is more difficult to succeed.

But by the way, each of your villains is dangerous and evil in their own way)

Ask 5: [in reblog]
