<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">12 days ago, trendy east London boozer the Old Blue Last played host to the eponymous E.P launch of Semi Precious, aka Guy Baron. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Guy, along with fellow Squareglass Collective producers, captivated the audience from beginning to end with his uniquely dense material which takes the listener on a meandering, trippy journey through the more beautiful side of melancholy with a shoegaze-esque sound. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We caught up with Guy afterwards for a short interview. Check it out below:</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi, how are you today? </span></b></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Quite excited, actually. This has been a somewhat overwhelming couple of weeks in terms of the work on the EP that has been released on Wednesday and I feel so fortunate for the support I’ve been receiving so far.</span></span></div>
<div class="p5">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How would you describe your sound to those unfamiliar with you?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A middle grounds between strangeness and familiarity, or perhaps between distance and intimacy. These are the (so-called) tensions I’m interested in exploring and conveying in my music and through the use of sampling. It terms of the sonic aesthetics itself, the tracks are all rather vocal-centred and are characterized by a somewhat sketchy or slightly rough-on-the-edges quality. I try not too over polish my tracks. </span></span></div>
<div class="p5">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Which artists influence you the most?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first artist that really inspired me and made me think about music in different and new ways is probably Matthew Herbert. For me he represents a certain kind of musicianship that can result in quite mellow or catchy (and often quite danceable) tunes, but at the same time also draws from certain sonic agendas and correspond with sound art. I’m also a big fan of Burial’s music, which I think captures South London’s distinguished and somewhat gloomy atmosphere.</span></span></div>
<div class="p5">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Which artists are you really into at the moment?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I listen to a lot of not-too-known sampling producers, like Myown, AKA dj vtgnike, Seenmr and Orlogin. I also really like Hackman’s stuff. Also a big fan of Dimlite.</span></span></div>
<div class="p5">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You just released your E.P at a launch at the Old Blue Last, how did it go?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think it went quite well. I really enjoyed it and the audience was so supportive and responsive. Being a studio/bed-room producer, I personally feel that live performance is a quite an interesting and multi-layered medium, which can be somewhat challenging but also very rewarding. </span></span></div>
<div class="p5">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You’re a part of the Squareglass collective, can you tell us a bit about that?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I formed squareglass together with Bunki (Aviram Barath) and Ballerino (Robin Braum), with whom I’ve studied at Goldsmiths, University of London. We’re all working as individual producers, which can be a somewhat lonely thing to do. So joining forces and creating a platform that would allow mutual support, both creatively and practically, seemed like a natural thing to do. We’re also motivated by an attempt to explore new production approaches/aesthetics. For instance, we're quite interested in working with certain limitations, exploring the way they influence the overall sound and challenging the conventional hierarchy or function of different elements within an arrangement or track. Working with samples or ‘chunks of recordings’ as Semi Precious, for instance, didn’t allow me to treat each element or instrument separately, but for me that’s part of the magic. The next release we’ll be working on together is Ballerino’s double-sided single, which I really like, followed by some other great releases later on this year.</span></span></div>
<div class="p5">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your sound is created with your voice and two samples - what are your key pieces of gear?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A rather simplistic bedroom set-up. A laptop, a condenser mic and two monitors. I mainly work with Ableton Live.</span></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you got any plans for after the E.P - Tour, album, other projects/collabs?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a new single coming up on the NX Records compilation, which is a joint venture of Goldsmiths and Matthew Herbert’s Accidental Records. I also have a few more live gigs in in the next few months that are yet to be announced. It's worth noting that my live set-up is quite different to the original tracks – I work with a 4-piece band that recreates the sampled source material and translates it into a purely live set (no laptops/samplers involved), which is a rather interesting and challenging experience.</span></span></div>
<div class="p5">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you weren’t a musician, what would you be?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would like to think that I would have become an architect, but I would probably end up being a lawyer.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With Semi Precious receiving much-deserved attention from the blogosphere, as well as being <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/aug/29/semi-precious-new-band-week-no-20"><span class="s2">the Guardian’s artist of the week</span></a>, keep your eyes and ears peeled.</span></span></div>

Earth. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Having released Step Back through his new side project
(Sinden Presents The Crystal System), we were eagerly awaiting a new release.
Finally, it has happened. The latest offering from SPTCS is a track called Got
Me Moving with guest vocals from SYF. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sinden uses a kaleidoscopic range of influences such as
boogie, new wave, early house and has drawn upon them to create the new track.
He also selected specific producers to remix the track to make sure it was
malleable enough for a wide club audience. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The side project is a new and different sound from Sinden,
as he claims that the project is “more song based, … more musical”. We like
where this project is going, keep ‘em peeled for future releases (they’re in
the pipeline) and in the meantime, check out the PILO remix of the track below:<o:p></o:p><br />
