Flow State - Pan-American
Welcome back to Flow State. We share interesting instrumental music every weekday. The paid tier gets you the daily Spotify playlist, unlocks the Tuesday mix, and keeps us going. You can upgrade to paid here. Good morning. Today we’re listening to Pan-American, an ambient project from guitarist Mark Nelson. His first musical adventure was as guitarist and singer in the Virginia-based post-rock band Labradford. Around 1997, he was drawn in a new direction, seeking to “explore the possibilities of sampling and computer technology as well as his interests in dub and techno.”¹ His new album, Reverberations of Non-Stop Traffic on Redding Road, just came out a few weeks ago. It’s a collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist Kramer, and consists of ghostly Americana tracks, as if William Basinski or The Caretaker were handed a guitar. We’re also playing Pan-American’s eponymous debut LP from 1998. Nelson was previously a guest on the Ambient Country podcast, where he discussed influences like Duke Ellington, Rachika Nayar, and KMRU. Reverberations of Non-Stop Traffic on Redding Road - Pan-American (50m, no vocals) Pan-American - Pan-American (50m, subtle vocals on some tracks) We wish you a great start to your week. |
