Ben Chatwin - The Sleeper Awakes '2015

Tracks list

Written and recorded at Chatwins home studio in Scotland. Inspired by the
writing of H.G. Wells, The Sleeper Awakes is Chatwins first album to appear
under his own name and follows last years highly-lauded Talvihorros project
Eaten Alive. 

I wanted The Sleeper Awakes to represent the idea of a future that has been and
gone. Before the information and telecommunications revolution there was a
beautiful yet weird, naivety about what the future might bring and it was this
that I tried to tap into whilst making the record. I sourced a one
hundred-year-old Dulcitone (a kind of portable piano that was made for a short
period of time in Glasgow at the turn of the Twentieth Century) and used it
extensively, making it sit with modern electronics and synthesis. The pairing of
older, traditional instruments with modern recording techniques and processes is
something that Im very interested in.
