Taras Bulba was formed in the winter of
2019 by Fred Laird and Jon Blacow. Taking a new direction from their
last musical outfit Earthling Society, the duo embarked on an inner
space mission for new age ideas, rhythmic mantras, ambient landscapes
and creative micro dosing.
Recorded between September 2018 to May
2019 on home recording equipment in different houses and any empty
space large enough for a drum kit. A laptop dying with over worked CPU
and amps so broken that the only alternative was to record straight
into the desk. Working to a true DIY ethic like some paranoid Philip
K.Dick character with a tin foil antenna; piecing together tracks
created out of the ether like satellite messages from some imaginary
planet.
Taras Bulba – 1 is a pot-pouri of
Eastern/ Asian sounds, Krautrock Rhythms, ambient landscapes,
psychedelic blues and Orb inspired dub. Taking influences from Midori
Takada, Tony Scott, CAN, Neu!, 6 organs of Admittance, The Orb and the
soundtracks of David Lynch and Angelo Badalemnti.
Fred Laird – vox, electric, acoustic and
bass guitar, bouzouki, Alesis Micron, recorder, Tibetan bells, Buddha
box, harmonizer, drum programming, kalimba, hammer and bolster, field
recordings.
Jon Blacow – drums, gongs, darbuka, LP
congas, electronic tablas, Shamisen, ektara, electronic rhythms.
Mike Blatchford – saxophone on ‘The
Neon Midnight’.
Written, recorded and produced by Fred
laird.
‘Hashsish’ written by Laird/ Blacow.
Artwork photography by Fred Laird
Mastered by John McBain at JPM Mastering.
