Highly Recommended! In the spring of 2016, Gigi Masin, Jonny Nash and Marco Sterk got together in the studio for the first time since they recorded Clouds, the critically acclaimed debut album from their Gaussian Curve project. By the time they reconvened in Sterk's new studio in Amsterdam, a stone's throw away from the temporary, second-‐floor space where they recorded Clouds, much had changed. When they first got together in March 2014, it was for a spontaneous, weekend-‐long exploration of shared musical passions. They were merely three new friends expressing themselves, and having huge amounts of fun in the process. By the time they got together again last year, the album they recorded on that famous weekend had taken on a life of its own. To their surprise and delight, Clouds had become one of the most admired ambient albums of the 21st century. Theyd initially reconvened in the studio to rehearse for their first live performances. It soon become clear that all three members were brimming with ideas for new Gaussian Curve material. Over the four days that followed, and fuelled by the same spontaneous working method that drove Clouds, a new album began to take shape. Although their methodology remained the same, the inspirations were different. Whereas Clouds was intimate by design, The Distance reflects more on spaciousness, distance and time. It is instantly recognizable as a Gaussian Curve record, but feels different in scope and tone. The Distance is a different musical beast to its predecessor, but shares the same timeless, emotion‐rich feel that made Clouds such a hit. While the fundamental ingredients remain the same Masins masterly piano and synthesizer work, Nashs blissful, meandering guitar\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music From Memory","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50481872306507,"sku":"1010382","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/fccf6be4-3e21-43ae-93f8-afb67faa265a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727545923"},{"product_id":"winter-sun-fever-dream","title":"Winter Sun \/ Fever Dream","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe return of Gaussian Curve - Gigi Masin, Jonny Nash and Marco Sterk’s much-loved trio are back for the first time since their 2016 sophomore album 'The Distance', presenting two new tracks entitled 'Winter Sun' and 'Fever Dream'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth tracks originate from recording sessions that took place in Amsterdam in 2016 for 'The Distance'. Despite not finding a place on the final album and being left as unfinished sketches for six years, the tracks represent an important part of the Gaussian Curve story which the band felt compelled to complete.

Arguably a fuller sound hinting at new areas of exploration for the trio, but unmistakably Gaussian Curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGraphic art by Qiu Yang, design by Steele Bonus,\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music From Memory","offers":[{"title":"Black 12\"","offer_id":50997093073227,"sku":"2173210","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/music-from-memory-gaussian-curve-winter-sun-fever_81d991ba_thumbnail_4096.webp?v=1734740889"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_f14cccf1_thumbnail_4096_88f035d2-03cb-4a7f-86ac-7d13ff88e348.jpg?v=1727545903","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/gaussian-curve.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
