Description A continuation and essentially final iteration of [link] the timing of which is not coincidental.

mixed media on bristol + digital

Besides the hype around the current tour with BT, Dolby is really a music pioneer, not only for electronica, but in bringing an essential element of songcraft to electronic pop that most in the field still haven't figured out too well. His production and playing sensibility has let him do sessions with everyone from Joni Mitchell to Def Leppard and his 1992 solo release Astronauts and Heretics is an utterly slept on gem that had special guests like Eddie Van Halen, Jerry Garcia, Eddi Reader and the zydeco band Beusoleil and he turned into a sprawling musical cartopgraph of everything he had done + everything else he could fit.

He really is a pioneer on this flat earth or any other.

I'm into his entire catalog, but I'm quite particular. "Fieldwork" is still my favorite, and that is technically a collaboration with Ryuichi Sakamoto.

He's also done a ton of production, so technically neither have I

That being said, I liked what he did on Joni Mitchell's "Dog Eat Dog" record.

Nice style. Love the colours. I always like your "final" versions better - more colour. I rekon it'd look good on a t-shirt.
