Phontaine
Phontaine doesn't take a conventional approach to creating music; " We blend instruments, ambiance and sounds and maintain the sonic quality of their era. I hope this brings a sense of nostalgia to the listener." .. .. .. "It's electronic music for sure, but less abrasive than alot of the stuff out there, I want it to sound as warm and authentic as possible, like warm 70's electronic music but with some new modern tones mixed in." After the indie success of 'aqui', Phontaine had songs released on the compilations 'Blue Light One' (Upstairs Recordings/Nettwerk) and 'Global Groove'(Sugo Music) alongside Thievery Corporation. The self-titled cd 'phontaine'(brighton sound recordings/Position) is his latest release. " I worked with some amazing musicians on this album, Nadia Clark (vocals) Ben Karcz and Chris Ledrew (Percussion) and Rob Johnson (stand-up bass). Without them this disc would not have such great 'humonic' feel. I also did alot of field recordings when traveling that I mixed in to certain tracks, it can add an amazing depth to a song. phontaine tracks can also be heard on film and T.V (Sacred Planet IMAX,Las Vegas, Tru Calling, The O.C).
