ash walker: aquamarine
Francisco Espregueira
Like a deep sea voyage, Ash Walker’s third album, Aquamarine, is a projection and culmination of all he’s absorbed. Rhythm. Vibes. Sounds discovered in the grooves of thousands of records, united in one. Released last week via Night Time Stories, Aquamarine was recorded at home, with the freedom of time and space, combining analogue with digital and a fondness for normally unwanted shapes and textures.
The output present on the album is definitely exploratory, combining with Ash Walker’s journeys: from tunnels under the river Thames to recording local percussionists in the Atlas mountains of Morocco. Eleven tracks that contain a beautiful energy, fulfilling the artist’s desire to bring a sense of calm and tranquility to the listener, amongst the chaos of life. Available on vinyl, Aquamarine encompasses a sound of it’s own.
