May 29, 2019 Ash Walker Announces Aquamarine, New Album Due July May 29, 2019 For Immediate Release Ash Walker Announces Aquamarine, ​ ​ New Album Due July 19th via Night Time Stories Listen to Lead Single, “Under The Sun” (Feat. Laville) ​ (photo by Dan Medhurst) London-based multi-instrumentalist Ash Walker is pleased to announce his third album, Aquamarine, due July ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 19th via Night Time Stories. Designed to inspire good energy, Ash hopes to bring a sense of calm and ​ tranquility to the listener amongst the chaos of life. This idea is clear in lead single, “Under The Sun” (Feat. ​ Laville), a smooth meditation on love. ​ Aquamarine follows Walkers 2016 album, Echo Chamber, and 2015’s Augmented 7th. A cosmic explosion of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ sound and color, rhythm, shape, and patterns, Aquamarine is the take-off of an audial spaceship, a sound ​ ​ discovered in the grooves of thousands of records, united in one. Recorded at home with the freedom of time and space, it combines analogue and digital, and a fondness for normally unwanted shapes and textures such as fuzz, hiss, and crackle. Also featured across the album are trumpet and flugelhorn auteur Yazz Ahmed, bassist ​ ​ Marc Cyril (Keiziah Jones, Jr Walker & The All Stars), and renowned musician and producer Jonathan Shorten. ​ ​ ​ “My previous albums have felt to me more like ventures on land,” says Walker. “This one feels more like a deep sea voyage into the subconscious. Living to dream with visions of grandeur. Manifesting a beautiful path to walk on. It was inspired by everything around me, from friends and family to art and design, engineering and architecture, movement and we use our five senses. I love to try and push my own boundaries of what I perceive to be right and wrong, seeing mistakes as innovations, and obstacles as inspiration.” An avid collector of jazz, blues, soul, funk, reggae, and all things in-between, Walker has DJed far and wide, spinning vinyl in the UK with The Specials to scattering dub across San Francisco and LA. Walker’s production ​ ​ ​ ​ output is similarly exploratory: his journeys have taken him far and wide, from tunnels under the river Thames to recording local percussionists in the Atlas mountains of Morocco. His musical palette is widened even further by his live shows. Collaborating with Ezra Lloyd-Jackson, each of Walker’s performances is turned into a vibrant, ​ ​ ​ ​ multi-sensory experience, combining live reactive projections and carefully crafted frequency complimenting fragrances.

  • Finishing Touch” ​
    July 3, 2019 For Immediate Release Ash Walker Presents Video For New Single, “Finishing Touch” ​ New Album, Aquamarine, Out July 19th On Night Time Stories ​ ​ “...lead single, “Under the Sun,” brims with positive energy and the grooves of old soul jazz records.” — Jazziz ​ “Ash Walker has a real sense of flexibility. The producer shares many of the influences that fuelled trip hop - reggae, jazz, electronics - but delivers this in a new, distinctly modern way.” — Clash ​ “Relentlessly killer grooves.” — Gilles Peterson, BBC Music 6 ​ In advance of his forthcoming album, Aquamarine (out July 19th on Night Time Stories), the London-based ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ multi-instrumentalist Ash Walker shares new single, “Finishing Touch”, featuring the smooth voice of Laville, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ alongside it’s Louis Hvejsel-Bork-directed video. ​ ​ Watch Video For New Single, “Finishing Touch” — https://youtu.be/3BbobhRJpQY “Set in an uncanny valley of a richly coloured world, we see Ash navigate and explore his world through music and curiosity,” explains Hvejsel-Bork. “Through the power of his music, he unlocks something deeper within a totalitarian society. A lost individual is awoken by his music, forsaking her enslavement and planning an escape to a freer future.” In order to create an otherworldly look, the video was shot with an infrared camera using a brand new filter that replicates the old Kodak Aerochrome look. There's only one company that makes this filter, which was shipped ​ ​ ​ ​ specially for this project from the US. Originally, Aerochrome film was used during WW1 for better aerial surveillance, allowing unseen details of terrain. This was later adopted in popular culture through people like Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa in photography.
