Kasper Bjørke has recorded episode 110 of our mixtape series. With his past releases on labels such as Eskimo, Corrsepondant, hfn music, we caught up with him to check what he has coming up next and to ask him a bit about the mix;
I have been working on setting up an audio visual exhibition, that consists of 11 screens showing 11 art films – each film with a composition from my forthcoming album on Kompakt as the soundtrack. The album is called The Fifty Eleven Project. The films are directed by visual artist, Justin Tyler Close. The album itself is a 11 track, 2 hour long ambient album – so quite a different direction, than what I would normally do. The size of the whole project has grown extremely, due to the exhibition aspect, but I am really excited about the whole thing. I am also very happy about the triple 180 gram transparent vinyl album (in a luxurious box including a poster) that will be released at the same time as with the digital album: https://KompaktRecords.lnk.to/TheFiftyElevenProjectAR
The mix was recorded in my studio in Copenhagen, there is not alot more to say about that really, haha… I did it quite spontaneously!
I had the inspiration and energy to do something a bit more uptempo than what I would normally do on a mixtape – maybe as a complete counterpoint to the album ? Recently I have been enjoying these approx. 130 bpm techno tracks, like Automated Lover by Schacke (released on Courtesy´s label Kulør) – and since I felt like including this particular track in mix, that gave me a different starting point somehow… so it is definitely a party mix and contains some of my recent favorite tracks for playing out, when I’m djing…
Up next…
After my album is released on October 19th and the exhibition has run here in Copenhagen for 10 days, then the plan is that the exhibition will travel to LA, NY, Berlin, London etc next year…
I also plan to start producing a new EP… I feel its time to work on something that doesnt take several years to prepare, produce and put out, which has been the case of The Fifty Eleven Project album…
Cheers, guys!
