Stasis

About

You’d be forgiven for thinking that the work of Pye Corner Audio comes from the meeting of multiple mind, perhaps the result of an expansive array of accomplished artist, congregating in some abandoned church in the English countryside once or twice a week and hitting play on their various electrical music boxes until they strike gold. So vast is the extent to which Martin Jenkins has developed his project and its various sub-narrative, he does more than tap into the ‘hauntology’ Simon Reynolds once wrote about as the latest in musical phenomena – he actively contributed towards the terms inception. Self-releasing Black Mill Tapes part 1 and 2, and then following them up with 2012’s Sleep Games album for Ghost Box, Jenkins set the precedent for the contemporary sonic counterparts of pastoral folk, radiophonic workshop weirdne, quintessentially English horror films and other such odd cultural artefacts he would go on to make (or indeed, be written about as making). .
