about

Stephen James Buckley’s third album for Frequency Domain came about during the summer of 2022, while working on a live set for his first show in London, supporting The Transcendence Orchestra. Instead of engaging his usual modular set up, Stephen found himself exploring the relationship between the thick, wobbly, somewhat unpredictable analog sounds of the Lyra-8 synthesiser and the crisp digital tones of the 1010 Music Lemondrop granular sampler.

As is usually the case, feeding into his explorations was his reading material at the time - books by John C. Lilly and Jacques Vallée, concepts from which led him to question the nature of reality as we know it. Recording the tracks in his plant-filled studio during the summer heatwave contributed to the album’s heady, hallucinatory vibe. Released as 11 tracks which segue to form two continuous sides of a cassette, ECCO shifts from celestial dreamscapes and expansive pastoral vistas to dense drones and sultry soundworlds.

about

Polypores Preston, UK

Intricately woven modular synth tapestries, and whirling psychedelic freak-outs with hypnotic polyrhythms and fuzzed-up drum machines. A riveting artist and performer, channelling the weird energies that make up his fractal musical universe.
