General Interest

On his debut long-player Severant , Jamie Teasdale aka Kuedo has made an album of dreamlike music, loaded with his own preoccupations with futurism and escapism, and one that's very different from his musical past as one half of Vex d. With his intentions re-evaluated for the making of this album, his process to capture them has evolved to a more automatic way of creating tracks, cutting back on the endless technical options available to the modern producer and rendering them at a quicker pace to reveal a lighter, more truthful music, as he puts it: On the side of modernism . In terms of feeling, Severant explores the space between the detached world of the imagination and the real-time world that feeling of coming out of a daydream, on the edge of the drift from the day-to-day grind. Jamie says of this moment As reality shapes imagination and escapism affects your choices in the real world, there is a strange relational loop between the two and the space in between the two. There s a bitter sweetness in that gap, it has a certain emotive quality, kind of in between being and non-being . Again, musically Severant is inspired by related themes. It sounds as if it s in a sweet spot between the emotive, innately futurist synth soundtracks of Tangerine Dream and Vangelis, borne from a time when the very idea of futurism was more prevalent, in combination with musical ideas and inspiration from the emotionally ambivalent, materialist fantasies of coke rap such as The Clipse. Rhythmically the record is influenced by what Jamie calls the two ultra modern musics of modern times , footwork from Chicago, which Planet Mu has explored in depth on its recent releases, and again the drum machine grids of coke rap. Jamie says I wanted to capture a really futurist sentiment, kind of melancholy and grand luminescent, so I used the instrument that most evokes that for me - that sweeping Vangelis brass sound. And on coke rap he talks about the emotional half being of the music, the energetically charged, detached ambivalence of the MCs, and the admission that the MCs could be fantasising without admitting to doing so. The title Severant refers to stark changes of circumstances in Jamie s life when the album was made and the music works strangely like scenes from a film: tracks are concise and direct and one of the albums great and unusual strengths is that on repeated listens different songs rise to the surface and the album repeatedly changes and develops in the listeners ears and mind.
