Bloom Installation @ Temple Works

Temple Works in Leeds is being redeveloped as a major UK cultural venue. A huge Grade 1 listed Victorian flax mill with outstanding natural light, it contains what was once the biggest room in the world!

As part of Light Night Leeds 2009, and in collaboration with the Jam Jar Collective and Culture Vulture, Burning Studios has created an installation for the space. We composed the sonic content which accompanied Stuart Childs’, Dave Lynch & Scott Towler’s light, laser and projection extravaganza and was preformed twice a night from 9th til 16th October.

Thanks to Jim Moran for this awesome photo!

Using generative abstract synthesis and sampling, we made a 15min sound piece intended to shock and disturb the audience in this vast and eerie space.

Delivered via a custom spatial sound system, the preformances were so well received that extra shows had to be run to satisfy demand. Over 600 people have enjoyed the show – if you are one of them get in touch and tell us what you thought!


rX28 – Kwantum Fish DEBUT ALBUM OUT NOW!

coverINSIDE COVER















Burning Studios is proud to announce the release of the debut album by rX28 entitled “Kwantum Fish”.  After years in the making it is finally here! Fusing styles including jungle, hip-hop, techno, dub and drum & bass it delivers nine tracks that we feel are of critical importance to our times.

In what could be described as stream-of-consciousness breakbeat poetry, rX28 uses wordsmith skills and a deep knowledge of rhythm to weave tales around this diverse work of contemporary electronic music.

Previews of three tracks can be heard below:

Recording Madame Laycock & Her Dabeno Pleasures

As you may know Burning Studios is currently producing the debut album for Madame Laycock & Her Dabeno Pleasures. Recording is progressing well and we have only backing vocals, some accordion and helicon (a large, bass brass instrument) left to track. Then we can have some fun adding animal noises and other sound effects before the mixing begins.

rX28

rX28 on SoundClick

A future underground legend, rX28 has been working with Burning Studios to produce his first release. Bringing together jungle, electronica, drum n bass, hiphop, industrial metal, dub, garage, left-field poetry and verse with a cut-throat delivery and razor-sharp production, this release brims with inspired lyrics, cutting-edge sounds and relentless rhythms.

We have been working with rX28 for over 10 years and without his influence, motivation and spirit Burning Studios would not be where it is today so it is with great honour and excitement that we announce this collaboration. Also big shout outs to Stuart Childs, Jonty Schofield, Jon Barnard, Fionn McCarthy, Kidd Kaos, Defazed and all the rest!

The man himself is truly prolific and vast quantities of past work have been unleashed over the years. You may have one of his fabled mix tapes (which I might just start digitising and uploading), or you may have heard one of his many collaborations with other artists including Seizure, Defazed, Headphobe, Sidewayz and Taradiddle. Check out our portfolio page for a few teasers.

Ste Darling Sessions at Burning Studios

Ste Darling has written some new songs and will be coming to Burning Studios this weekend for a two-day session. Laying down acoustic guitar, bass and vocals with him has generated some excellent results which we can tease you with below. His new EP is really coming together and we will continue to post updates as progress is made.

We want to let you know that Tasha Williams is collaborating with us on the project. She is a singer/songwriter with a great voice and also an accomplished pianist, who also creates original visual art which you can see here . Brass and cello may also feature in the tracks which we hope will be finished over the next few months.
