CHRIS CARTER has
shared the video to ‘Tangerines' from his first album release in 17
years, Chris Carter’s Chemistry Lessons Volume One.
Watch the video,
created by Carter, for his two-minutes of electronic pop here:
Chris Carter will
perform two rare live sets this summer, both unique modular synth
sets, at Sea Change festival in Totnes in August and at the
first in a series of events hosted by the Cabinet Gallery at
the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, London, on 23 May. The Cabinet event
will also feature a live DJ set by Sophie Coletta, soundtracking the
classic silent film, The Passion of Joan of Arc (Carl
Theodor Dreyer, 1928).
Chris Carter’s
Chemistry Lessons Volume One is populated with insistent melodic
patterns and a distinct sense of wonderment at the limitless
possibilities of science. “If there’s an influence on the
album, it’s definitely ‘60s radiophonic,” Carter
says. “And over the last few years I’ve also been listening
to old English folk music, almost like a guilty pleasure, and so some
of tracks on the album hark back to an almost ingrained DNA we have
for those kinds of melodies.”
The album is out now on
all formats, including the limited edition double 'ash grey' and
'frostbite blue' coloured vinyl, available again after the initial
pressing sold out.
In addition Carter
recently launched a new website - a periodic table explaining and
exploring elements of the album. The site includes the Chris Carter
Chemistry Lessons series and you can watch films of Carter explaining
the process and inspirations behind his self-designed artwork and his
pedal collection here: http://ccclv1.net/. Keep checking back
for further films examining the album.
