It’s time for another taste of the new Nightports w/ Matthew Bourne album, which you will recall is ‘the first album made entirely on the Dulcitone probably™’. Take a listen to new single ‘Plads’, which follows ‘Machell’ into the rare Victorian keyed instrument record books.

While Nightports’ rule of restriction remains in place, the process has evolved over the years, and on Dulcitone 1804 they’ve taken a more spontaneous approach. The whole album was made in one day as a live improvised performance between the three. “We sampled and captured Matthew playing tiny fragments of ideas, which we then processed into warped, skewed instruments that we could use as part of our collective improvisation,” Slater explains. “It’s an imprint of us responding to each other – searching for space, making space, vying for space.” It results in a more immediate sound – melodic and free. A beautiful document of a forgotten corner of music history.

Dulcitone 1804 will be released May 24th on limited edition CD and digital. Pre-order now.
