Classical Roman poet Ovid<\/a>, bauhaus tinkerer Albers<\/a>, provocative Futurist Marinetti<\/a>  . . . .<\/em><\/p>\n

Right now I\u2019m enjoying the electronic music of UK-based Jack Marchment.<\/p>\n

Having studied literary classics, Marchment has rechanneled his academic intensity into sound. \u2018The whole idea of creating a music super-rich in intertexts is really a product of that approach.’<\/p>\n

Consequently, Albers<\/a> and Marinetti<\/a> tracks appear on his latest release, the multi-dimensional Who\u2019s Afraid Of Iannis Xenakis.<\/em><\/p>\n

Aside from ear, the album’s cover (above) caught my eye. Designed by Joanna Lowndes, Marchment admits, \u2018I had given her a fairly oppressive brief (with Marinetti at its core), but she delivered a sumptuous result.\u2019<\/p>\n

For more, here\u2019s a great album review.<\/a> One can also snag Marchment\u2019s albums here.<\/a><\/p>\n
