This interview with The Field

I’m a bit late to the party, thank you however for mentioning this one (“The Soul Is Quick”), very nice.

I’m not sure if it has been mentioned before, another great ambient record from Axel is “And Never Ending Nights” by Loops Of Your Heart:

I checked this thread this morning, because I felt like I could do with a new The Field album :slight_smile:
I still listen to “Infinite Moment” a lot, but it’s been 6 years already!

Would love to hear it. His last remixes were fun, and were reminiscent of some of his early sample based work. Would be a soothing tonic to go looping again with some fresh songs.

absolutely love the Field. one record I didn’t see mentioned above is the Sound Of Light EP. awesome premise and an excellent listen.

here’s an interview with him from 2016. lots of gear pics, gear talk, and technique talk.

I do think of him from time to time and wish that a new record would spring up. in the above article, he said he had a friend mix The Follower as his hearing loss is great enough that he didn’t trust it for mixing recordings any more. which is scary as hell, and I hope that it’s not worsened and that he’s still making music.

Anybody know what drum machine he used for ‘here we go sublime’?

Not sure where the samples come from but the whole thing was done on Jeskola Buzz I think? http://jeskola.net/buzz/

I want to say I recall him saying 808 samples in an olllllld interview. maybe in Pitchfork? he also has been a long time MD user, but it doesn’t sound like he used it on that album.
