Jon Tye
and
Pete Fowler
have been making music as
Seahawks
for a decade now. Given the sounds they've been exploring over those ten years it was a cosmic inevitability that they would be asked to contribute to the catalog of the legendary library label KPM. They replied with
Island Visions
, an exploration of sound for vision where they construct "audio micro-worlds to explore and inhabit," a way to transport the listener away from the everyday without the bother of getting on an airplane. Mostly recorded at The Centre Of Sound in Cornwall, with additional recording at Studio 34 in London, Jon and Pete's travelling companions on this particular trip were boogie wunderkind
Sven Atterton
on fretless bass and keys,
Nick Mackrory
on percussion, and the Seahawks live team of
Dan Hillman
and
Alik Peters-Deacon
. From the grooves of
Brian Bennett
to the moog vibrations of
Mike Vickers
, the lush textures of
Les Baxter
to the experimental sounds of
Delia Derbyshire
and
David Vorhaus
, this new music channels sounds and moods from across the KPM universe. Like many KPM suites, this is a record of two distinct sides. The sunrise of side A brings a deep meditation, a journey within to renew the jaded self. Side B refreshes with cocktails by the pool and a chance to groove away the evening at some sunset beach party before dancing under the stars in the house of dreams. Pete's cover for the LP is part map, part postcard; the track descriptions on the back help guide the way. 2020 marks ten years since
Ocean Trippin'
, the first Seahawks release, and
Island Visions
is the perfect distillation of the sounds, sights, textures, and moods that Jon and Pete have been exploring over the last decade -- sunrise to sunset condensed to two sides of an LP. The normal rules of space and time don't apply here. This is the first time Be With has worked with Seahawks, but individually Jon and Pete have been members of the extended Be With family since forever (Pete did those posters for our
Ned Doheny
tour and worked with Jon on the vinyl version of
Hatchback
's
Colors Of The Sun
). Mastered by Balearic engineer of choice
Simon Francis
, cut by
Pete Norman
and pressed in the Netherlands by Record Industry, the sonic frequencies of these
Island Visions
have been precision tuned and encoded for optimum traveling conditions.
