Out of the fog of logic comes Ken Peel’s new EP ‘The Cloud of Reason’
The Cloud of Reason is an EP of five new electronic tracks from Bristol-based composer and music producer Ken Peel. A download-only release, The Cloud of Reason is available on iTunes from Monday 19 March.
Previews have attracted wide appeal; from uber-cool London DJ, Nick Luscombe, who describes it as “very cool and rather beautiful” to legendary establishment presenter, Simon Bates, who describes it as “sublime contemporary music”.
The Cloud of Reason is Ken’s most ambient outing to date and includes field recordings from contributors to the ccMixter internet project alongside Ken’s gentle and melodic soundscapes. Locations such as a summer meadow in Spain and a block of flats in Helsinki feature alongside air traffic control and arctic weather recordings
But what is this Cloud of Reason? Speaking from the studio Ken says “I think too much and often what I think about is reasons for not doing things, even music, which I love. I also think that other people, lots of other people, find some perverse comfort in ‘thinking things through’ before they do them, and often they never do them. This is counter-productive, because what we want to do is what we want to do not think about reasons not to do it. So, this process of reasoning can be like a cloud; rather than illuminate the way forward, the cloud of reason can hold us back, or even cause us to lose our way. The Cloud of Reason EP is music inspired by, and arising, from this condition.” Ken adds, “yes, I really do need to get out more.”
Ken Peel’s 2006 release “Marginal” has been featured on cutting-edge music radio programmes in Switzerland, Denmark, Japan, Russia, Canada, the USA and of course the UK where his music features regularly on the digital station Chill. Previously he has recorded under the moniker ‘Avon’ releasing an EP in 2005 (The Cut) and a critically acclaimed album in 2004 (Salary Man).
Ken Peel is part of the Arctic Circle, a loose collective of contemporary musicians, DJs and VJs. If you are in London on April 27 you can catch Ken at a rare live performance at The Whitechapel Gallery, part of the Arctic Circle gallery nights.
