Following up his score for the Japanese Netflix anime series
Carole & Tuesday
,
Mocky
returns to album mode with his new orchestral opus
Overtones For The Omniverse
. Just days before the first Covid lockdowns, Mocky brought a 16-person orchestra comprising of his usual who's who of underground talent into LA's Barefoot Studios (and into the same room where
Stevie Wonder
recorded
Songs in the Key of Life
) to record a pile of scores he had come up with during his previous year's sabbatical in Portugal. The result is a stunning orchestral album recorded in 36 hours in one or two takes straight off the written page. Shunning the "possible perfection" of today's recording techniques, Mocky looked back as a way to find an alternate future. The album runs the gamut from
Steve Reich
infused minimalism overlaid with
Dorothy Ashby
style harp runs ("Overtures") to atonal analog synth sounds over
Martin Denny
style percussion ("Bora!"). There's a classic Mocky crooning number that gives a
Jim Henson
-esque take on the state of "Humans" and the album as a whole captures Mocky's skill of bringing together the joyful energy of a unique cast of LA collaborators. Featuring:
Randal Fisher
- flute;
Vicky Farewell

Harry Foster

Joey Dosik
