ByClick the play button to listen
Today, the Spotlight shines On James McKeown, the Bristol, UK-based artist who releases music under the name Hawksmoor.James first created Hawksmoor five years ago, inspired by the six 18th-century churches in London designed by architect Nicholas Hawksmoor. Described as 'English Baroque' in style, these buildings are large, foreboding, and even Gothic in nature. Imagine the music inspired by such things, and you have Hawksmoor.
Each Hawksmoor album features unique themes and inspirations that have been composed using a sonic palate of analog Moog instruments and electronic rhythms complimented with live bass and subtle, textural guitar elements.
Telepathic Heights (Soul Jazz Records), combines a love of German electronic music of the 1970s alongside British retro-futurism and hauntologyan aesthetic that evokes cultural memory of times past.
