New Releases from Electricwest and Tom Hall
We are very excited to release these new sounds in the next few weeks. !
Electricwest - ‘Detach’ - March 2010
Electricwest is Patrick Benolkin, a diverse and prolific producer from Boise, Idaho. With a tip to the sounds of Warp records and Ghostly International, Electricwest creates soulful and crystal-sharp experimental electronic gems. In 2006, Electricwest made some Overlap-related waves by winning a Creative Commons (CC) remix contest of Christopher Willits’ track “Colors Shifting” which was featured by Ghostly International and CC. Since then Benolkin has surfed an explosion of activity, releasing six albums via his Electricwest and Eluder monikers. “Detach” is Electicwest’s newest and most concise statement to date.
Tom Hall - “Past Present, Below” - April 2010
“Past Present, Below” is the accumulation of 2 years of experimentation, bringing together a vast array of instrumentation (drums, guitar, piano, organ, virbraphone, chinese gongs and harmonia) and field recordings (Australia, Kyoto temples, German rivers, Tasmanian forests). Hall ties these varied sources together with a unique blend of studio practices ranging from Max / Ableton Live processing, analog effects pedals and a unique process of replaying and re-recording compositions back into environments in which they originated. This album is Tom Hall’s most developed and beautiful work to date, exclusive to Overlap.
Thanks to Christopher Willits,without whom these recordings would not have been possible.
