Got that a while ago but I inadvertantly deleted it by mistake! Forgot about bandcamp! Now I can listen to it properly :) Thanks a million John!



Edit: Have you listened to the Theoretically Pure Anterograde Amnesia download - all 72 memories :) That was my first introduction to Kirby's muse and he hasn't come anywhere near it since IMO It's my firm favourite too....It actually came out as a 6 cd box set !!!! I pleaded with him to bring out a double Lp version of it but he said it was difficult to pull off successfully....

Joshua Bonnetta - American Colour
*An immersive tract of abstract drone recalling Kevin Drumm's immense, bleached-out 'Imperial Distortion. Limited edition of 300 includes DVD attached to full colour gatefold cover printed on uncoated stock and housing black vinyl in printed inner sleeve with monograph by Irene Bindi* 'American Colour' is an exquisite co-production from WNDX and Senufo Editions presenting Joshua Bonnatta's experimental travelogue shot on now-obsolete Kodakchrome film, accompanied by his droning score. Bonnetta's evocative journey took place between upstate New York where the historical Kodakchrome film was manufactured, to a processing facility in Kansas, the last of it's kind to do so, shortly before the K14 developing process was discontinued in 2011. He shot 14 rolls of film during the trip, which were then spliced with flickering coloured stills to focus on the stock's intrinsic tonal, hue and light values in relation to the American landscape and its architecture. This flickering reel is sensitively accompanied by a score, which is presented on the LP backed with an extra composition. The score makes tangible the connection between Kodakchrome's inventors, violinists Leopold Mannes and Leopold Godowsky Jr, by use of violin, tape and site-specific shortwave radio recorded during the photography, which are then processed into a lengthy and immersive tract of abstract drone recalling Kevin Drumm's bleached-out 'Imperial Distortion' or Stephan Mathieu's electro-acoustic rendering of crackly 78s. Together with Irene Bindi's monograph, 'American Colour' makes for a deeply absorbing experience unmissable to followers of Senufo's rarified output. 




Joshua Bonnetta:
In 2011, a processing facility in Kansas, the last to process Kodachrome, discontinued the K14 developing process. The historical stock became obsolete. In 2010, I photographed 14 rolls of Kodachrome 16mm, which had been stored since 1986. The stock was developed, in the last batch of footage processed. The resulting film is American Colour. The film was photographed over a week while traveling to Kansas from the birthplace of Kodachrome in upstate New York. In the wake of the obsolescence of Kodachrome, the footage is used to explore the stocks historic and unique rendering of colour, hue and light value in relation to the American landscape and it’s architecture.
The accompanying soundtrack is homage to Leopold Mannes and Leopold Godowsky Jr. the two violinists whom invented Kodachrome in 1935. The piece was created using a violin, tape, processing and site-specific shortwave radio recorded during the photography. The soundtrack will be performed live when possible.

“Joshua Bonnetta’s American Colour (note the bi-national spelling), was shot on old rolls of 16mm Kodachrome during a pilgrimage from the stock’s birthplace inupstate New York to Kansas, where its final rolls were processed earlier this year. Like a postscript to Dean’s Kodak, American Colour explores Kodachrome’s historic use and singular hues, doing so with digital means in the wake of its obsolescence.” – Andréa Picard, Toronto International Film Festival

I've given this a good few listens and it's quite good.Sort of a jungle/tribal feel to the music with great beats that drive the music on.
While he creates these great sounds that keeps on grabbing your attention....
