UK ambient composer Ian Hawgood makes his Whitelabrecs debut with all these places, together, a tape-worn collage of synthesiser, Mellotron, guitar and field recordings. Built from live takes, loops and layers of analogue processing, the album embraces tape’s drift and degradation, letting its music feel both fragile and in motion.
Hawgood gradually opened the project to friends around the world, weaving their recordings—from casual phone captures to carefully made field tapes—into a shared sonic space. Shaped by his years moving between places including Japan, Puglia and Warsaw, the record considers home as a gathering of people, connections, memories and sounds.
