Ed Kuepper – All Tomorrows Parties, Cockatoo Island
I recently had the pleasure of co-producing this release for ARIA award winning artist and Australian music icon Ed Kuepper – recorded and mixed at Gasworks Studio A. Ed is a wonderfully creative musician, a broad and open listener, and a great guy to work with in a studio context. These recordings are very intimate – mostly live duo takes in the first instance – with Ed in the ISO booth playing acoustic and singing, accompanied by Mark Dawson on drums in the main live room. The recording captures the intimacy of a live duo but has a range of carefully crafted abstract elements in the form of a range of string parts, abstract percussion and field recordings. Disc One is the studio recording. Disc Two contains a bonus live disk.

This is essentially songs from the Electrical Storm and Rooms Of The Magnificent albums, but with completely new arrangements and feel. More in the vein of Today Wonder, for those of you who are familiar with Ed’s back catalogue.
This is the 2CD “special tour edition”. The second disc is a complete live rendering of the Today Wonder album, recorded in Sydney in February 2011, with Mark Dawson.

Courier Mail review. Noel Mengel. November 6, 2012
I94bar.com ” the re-working of these songs from two of Ed Kuepper’s best solo albums, “Electrical Storm” and “Rooms Of The Magnificent”, is so radical that it renders “Second Winter” a whole new listening experience”
