Perils From The Sea is a collaboration between Jimmy LaValle of the Album Leaf and Mark Kozelek. It’s a set of long, somber songs that melds LaValle’s spacious, orchestral electronic instrumentation with Kozelek’s forthright and world-weary vocals. They’re transfixing, often beautiful, sometimes unsettling. The collaboration grew out of mutual admiration. Kozelek had seen LaValle play a few times, both in his old band Tristeza and the Album Leaf, and was impressed; and he is a fan, especially, of Torey’s Distraction, last year’s soundtrack album from the Album Leaf. LaValle will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our new feature on him and Kozelek.
LaValle: I love old Casio keyboards. This Max for Live patch is amazing! It’s an amazing replication of the Casio CZ series created by Oli Larkin. I have a couple old Casios, but this vst allows me to edit classic Casio sounds and create my own. The world of sampling and music made with computers has come a very long way.
