Morning Tapes is a CD by a Leeds based sound artist called David Horner. He's going under the moniker Relmic Statute here, supplying the listener with beautiful, eerie & spacious atmospherics, field recordings, acoustically enhanced industrial tinkering & haunting blankets of audio drift. His music is brilliantly balanced between meditative calm & the poignancy of dawn, another day is awakening and this journey can be seen to symbolise both reflection & hope for the approaching day ahead. Some smashing work here, pretty evocative in all its minimal, ponderous majesty. Ltd to 200 on the ever popular Hibernate.

What their label says...

Relmic Statute (Cotton Goods) is Leeds-based artist David Horner, who assembles lulling, grainy soundscapes based on the splicing of field recordings collected from cassettes and old 1/4-inch tape.
The tracks on the album were all produced individually and sporadically between 2000 and 2009, with no intention of assembling them into an album. The album title “Morning Tapes† simply reflects the fact that the instruments, audio and field recordings were all captured, tape looped, edited and processed during the morning.

Mornings are an interesting time to capture music and make field recordings as it is a time when fully formed sounds converge with freshly emerging ones. The tracks on this album try to capture the juxtaposition of those two environments of sound.

Morning Tapes is a CD not CDr and limited to 200 copies. Packaged in a recycled PP case.
