About the release:
Imagine a classic band setup—drums, bass, keys, and lead lines—meets a serious modular synth nerd. "Music for Modular” bridges the gap between dark London jazz clubs and electronic music from both the past and future, each track emerging from improvisations and live jams that capture the human side of the electronics. It is an exercise in how contemporary instruments such as sequencers and modular synthesisers can be integrated into jam culture with the same flexibility and breadth of expression that real, physical instruments provide.

The sounds themselves are highly electronic, brash sawtooth synthesisers, sweeping ambient textures, huge drums all with a loose feel contrasting with the highly electronic aesthetic of the sounds themselves. "Music for Modular" journeys through a variety of grooves and moods, including Latin jazz, dub, bass music and some more irregular time signatures. From danceable rhythms to cinematic atmospheres and uplifting moments, “Music For Modular” showcases the versatility of electronic instruments in improvised music and contemporary jazz.


Bio:
Lazy H is a producer, singer, multi-instrumentalist and synth nerd known for his eclectic blend of genres and incessant need to bridge the live elements of performing with electronic music.

Coming from a childhood background in orchestral performance and turning to jazz in his later teen years, Lazy H is well established in the UK jazz community having shared a stage with artists like Alabaster de Plume, Kinkajous and Julian Arguelez and more. Catching the eye of Brownswood Records in 2018 and being selected for their Future Bubbler’s programme, Harry Jones then followed up with releases on both Brownswood and Ninja Tune and received support from Mary Anne Hobbs, Giles Peterson and BBC Music Introducing to name a few. He’s since been focused on exploring improvisation in electronic music, via regular live performances and collaborating with artists such as Blessed Madonna, Dance System, Joy Anonymous and Todd Edwards, experiences which have seriously influenced the approach on his second album, ‘Music for Modular’.

His music is often likened to Floating Points, Dorian Concept and Photay; drawing from jazz, electronica and experimental genres to create a fresh and futuristic sound which has been described as ‘truly original’ (Identification of Music), ‘brilliant and completely unique’ (Next Door Records) and ‘refreshingly genreless’ (Voices Radio).
