Part VII\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving worked with the likes of D.K., J.Tripp, Wojciech Rusin, FUMU, U, Best Available Technology, Grim Lusk, Mars89 and many more to create two sell-out cassettes as 'O. G. Jigg \u0026amp; Friends', the experimental, neo-medieval O. G. Jigg offer their first solo outing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreviously exploring early music and more traditional folk arrangements, Jigg has now composed a contemporary suite, albeit one that seems to have slipped back into a more recent past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing clear influence from post-war classical and the effect it had on soundtrack composition during the 60's and 70's, O. G. Jigg has composed what sounds like the lost OST for a 1970's BBC earth mysteries drama that would have been aired just before children went to bed — early enough to tempt a few, who would have no doubt had to recover from nightmares of spirits rising from stone-circles across rural England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA quote from Malvern Brume encapsulates this feeling nicely; \"Makes me think of what I wish the music for 'Children of the Stones' had actually been like. It's bloody wicked!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe music is written for a small orchestral ensemble, often focusing on the woodwind section, using the balance between dissonant and consonant to create an uneasy undertone — even in the sweetest melodic sections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are definitely more thematic structures in the music than heard on previous releases — sometimes even through the tropes of the aforementioned 60's \u0026amp; 70's era of television and cinema — but it's never overdone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album helps to ease the listener’s mind out of the city and into the landscapes of rolling hills and overgrown and tumbled-down chapels, probing the topographical resonance of stone circles and other prehistoric monuments of the British countryside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis record marks the first release on Will Yates' new 'Earth Memory Recordings' label. A project focusing on psychogeographical recordings and artists exploring global folklore through the sonic medium. This first album is being released in partnership with Tokyo-based label Diskotopia, long-time supporters of Will's own music as 'Memotone'. The record has been beautifully mastered by Seance Centre boss, Brandon Hocura.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Earth Memory Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41450453762204,"sku":"EMR001","price":16.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/unnamed_4_1ac13ea6-8e86-4f88-a942-0e6871537e27.jpg?v=1644864329","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/o-g-jigg-the-land-dictates-the-lay-of-the-stone","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
