(Glitch, Downtempo, Experimental, IDM) Spoonbill - Airborne (ep) - 2010, MP3, 192-320 kbps

Spoonbill is Jim Moynihan. Is your typical happy-go-lucky musician; a humble bloke kicking along, enjoying what he does and copping his due props along the way. “I started being influenced by my brother who played in bands as a kid,” he says. “My brother was five years older than me. We lived in the country, a little past Hurtsbridge. He rehearsed with his band and I was around the scene with those sorts of musicians from a young age.” It was the drums that seemed to capture his attention though and Jim developed a sort of liking for drums and rhythm. “So then I went to play in a few bands myself and then moved into using samplers with more traditional band formats,” he explains.

Airborne is a funk fuelled glitch laden collection of midtempo tracks to bounce and wobble to. Combining burly bass and beats with growling synths, twisted sound design and spliced samples, this dense sonic spectrum fuses together to form a megacraft to haul you to a new world.
