{"product_id":"vinyl-masin-gigi-movement-silver-vinyl-lp-colour-may-vary","title":"Movement (Silver Vinyl)","description":"Following the jazzy library vibes of 2003’s collaborative Dolphin LP with Greg Foat and Moses Boyd, the venetian maestro Gigi Masin returns to the ambience for which he is renowned, with Movement — his first solo full-length since 2020’s Calypso, and his Sacred Bones Records debut. Fuelled by creative reinvention and rhythmic motion, he moves seamlessly between melancholy \u0026amp;'(' notes, technoid robotics, groovy liminal cloudscapes, and fathoms-deep ambient aquatics.\u003cbr\u003eSince early beginnings in obscurity, his ) 1986, debut album Wind slowly built an organic following on late night radio, later bolstered when “Clouds” was sampled by artists like Björk, Post Malone, and more. He now counts Oneohtrix Point Never, Devendra Banhart, Caroline Polachek, and the late Kenny Wheeler as fans.\u003cbr\u003eThe new album Movement reflects on Masin’s place within the pantheon of ambient masters, his ongoing artistic ambitions, and his aspirations for a scene which he’s seen grow exponentially from humble beginnings.\u003cbr\u003eThe LP is also an ode to literal movement, both in nature, and in human physical expressions to sound. Masin strived to make ambient music for movement, not in the standard dance music sense, but “dynamic music,\u003cbr\u003ewith a beating heart full of love.” Reconfiguring ambient’s association with solitary listening and cold academia, Gigi went outwards, channeling something somatic that connects with the body, not just the mind.\u003cbr\u003e “Bed on Mars” sets the titular tone for Masin’s renewed curiosity, with cosmic atmospherics evoking the sensation of waking up on a new planet unafraid, whilst the poignant synthesized trumpet and suspended liminal limbo of “Lost” feels like floating adri- in an unknown sea. Delving further into o.-centre beats is the celestial techno funk of\u003cbr\u003e“Deception Dance,” which sounds like Sun Electric jamming with Carl Craig and Kra!werk. The bright beaming light of “Golden” radiates warmth, sounding like the bossa-nova brother of Göttsching’s Balearic classic E2! E4\".\u003cbr\u003eDespite the passing of his wife a-er a long illness, and losing his musical archive in a flood, Gigi remains pure-at-heart and positive, pouring his soul into the pursuit of beauty. The latest in a slow-starting but steadilybuilding career, Movement sees Masin continue to secure his seat at the table of true ambient greats.","brand":"SOUTHBOUND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40428239093961,"sku":"477865","price":52.79,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/7120\/7498\/files\/477865-Product-0-I-639154449602997705.jpg?v=1779848225","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.co.nz\/products\/vinyl-masin-gigi-movement-silver-vinyl-lp-colour-may-vary","provider":"JB Hi-Fi NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
