jonesisdying - noble truth

The first of our guest releases is the EP noble truth, by our old friend (and frequent contributor to both Abyssal Labs and Boom Logistics: London-based guitarist Chris Jones.

Here's what the press release has to say about it:

jonesisdying is the performance name of Christopher Jones, a South London resident who specialises in making make guitars sound as little like guitars as possible and who takes inspiration from space rock, psych, krautrock, Norwegian jazz, classic country and much else besides. Using electronic processing, found sounds and post-production, Chris seeks to express concepts rooted in Buddhist meditation and other more esoteric traditions, as well as primal emotional states.

noble truth contains four ambient pieces originally commissioned for an abandoned project. The initial recordings were then rescued, overdubbed, remixed and re-mastered when Chris realised that the work contained a core that existed entirely free of any external motivations. 

Track list:

  • truth 1 - suffering
  • truth 2 - causes
  • truth 3 - cessation
  • truth 4 - path

 Credits:

  • Electric & acoustic guitars, synthesizer and left wing musical box: Christopher Jones
  • Produced by Christopher Jones
  • Mastered by Simon Hopkins
  • Cover image: Hans Dieter Beetroot & Mukmuk
  • Cover design: Vera Brüggemann

Here it is streaming in Spotify:

And of course you can download it (should download it!) from iTunes here.

My thanks to Chris for the opportunity to release this fine piece of work and to the good folks at the state51 conspiracy for making the task of navigating the new world of digital distribution quite so seamless.
