Charles Hayward, Gigi Masin – Les Nouvelles Musiques De Chambre Volume 2
Italian ambient hero Gigi Masin & This Heat’s Charles Hayward split sides on Les Nouvelles Musiques De Chambre Volume 2. The musicians each interpret a prompt from the label to write about the waterways of their respective cities, Venice and London. For Masin: “Places, faces, memories… that’s what most of the people love to find when they travel to Venice – some kind of magic that’s deep in the city.” For Hayward: “Water was being privatized at the time, the profit margin had been factored in, cost-cutting was implicit, people were being poisoned. Water was a political thing; it still is.”
