On March 2, Andrew Williams aka Dunmore Park releases his first soulful composition on Substation Recordings, a 4-track EP titled "At Midnight." Born in Edmonton, Williams is the co-founder of the city's first electronic music production school, Night Vision Music Academy, as well as Western Canada's first electronic-based music convention, the Alberta Electronic Music Conference. His latest project, "At Midnight," fuses both classical and modern notes, bringing about a subtle warmth as the Canadian winter descends and the spring season bursts forth.
"These songs reflect the music that I was exposed to living in Europe as a child, travelling to ancient cities as a young man, and exploring Canada as an adult. The EP is about my desire to tell stories from my life with each song." – Andrew Williams, aka Dunmore Park
At Midnight – is a delicate orchestration that successfully blurs the lines between indie electronica, downtempo, and deep house. Soft bells, tender strings, and methodical build-ups combine to produce a delightfully emotive track, which gentle complexities create an innocent and carefree aura similar to that of childhood.
Walk With Me – is a key instance of Dunmore Park's ability to unite timeless gospel music with contemporary electronic sounds. Sampled from an actual church performance, the soaring vocals blend seamlessly with acidic synths and low, thundering frequencies. The effect is a stirring mix that summons an energy marked only by devotion.
Feels Right – swings between bright fixtures and tropical undertones to produce a track rich in both texture and imagination. Featuring elements reminiscent of conga drums, string guitar, and calling wildlife, "Feels Right" has the unique quaility of sounding like a jungle paradise converted into a melodic house record.
The Forest – marches forth with a dominating bassline flanked by keys, strings, and woodwinds to produce a intensely mysterious composition. Dramatic in every sense of the term, "The Forest" shifts ambiance with such exaction, its ability to conjure emotion is comparable only to that of a theatrical score or symphony orchestra.
