In January we announced a new album by King Britt, ‘Intricate Beauty’. Now it’s time to reveal some details. ‘Intricate Beauty’ is said to be the final “conventional” dance album King Britt will ever make. From now on King will be concentrating on more experimental based music and searching for new avenues to help push the live electronic improvisational end of performance. But for now, you have eleven tracks of soulful rhythms constructed and mixed together like a grand jigsaw puzzle.
The process of how this record was created is quite advanced. King based the album on tiny microsounds he procured from various random recordings and CDs. He then took all these tiny pieces and dumped them into Ableton Live where he sewed the puzzle pieces together. Once there were approximately 50 workable combinations of tracks he then constructed the songs musically.
Beyond the album, this is a period of great change for King Britt. Not only is he working in a new studio but he’s also cleansed spiritually; something that has also enabled him to enter into a new creative space with his newest venture Saturn Never Sleeps with multimedia artist Rucyl (www.saturnneversleeps.com/about). “When you find your path and stick with it, you’re bound to hit a pentacle period of productivity. I feel that in the next three years you’ll really see and hear many sides of me musically. Mentally, physically and spiritually I have grown multitudes and have a very clear understanding of who I am and what I’m here for. Many of the lyrics on the album express some of these ideas.”
