Hailing from Japan, Ally Mobbs is a sound artist and producer we’ve had the opportunity to feature on our 5th compilation. He is the creator of Beat Picnic, a community dedicated to making music using only sounds from field recordings, and recently teamed up with Agargara (the kind of artist who will remix all 45 tracks from Ilkae’s album Pistachio Island), to release the very first Beat Picnic EP.
This is not only one of the most solid and creative sound projects I’ve stumbled upon lately. This is not only a digital free download on Bandcamp. It also comes as a limited edition cassette, packaged in a bento box.
All sounds in these tracks were manipulated from field recordings from Imperial Palace Gardens in Kyoto, Higashi Honganji Temple in Kyoto, Makino in Shiga and The Mint skate shop, Osaka, Japan.
No other samples or instruments used.
