{"product_id":"violinvocations","title":"Violinvocations","description":"\u003cp\u003eEven if you've never heard of Hugh Marsh you've almost certainly heard the sound of his violin. He's a featured player on soundtracks by Hans Zimmer and Harry Gregson-Williams, was nominated for a Juno award, recorded with Iggy Pop and The Stooges, and was in the backing band for Bauhaus' Peter Murphy, all a tiny fraction of his decades-long list of credits. The latest addition to that list is Marsh's own \u003ci\u003eViolinvocations\u003c\/i\u003e, an LP recorded while Marsh lived in L.A. with friend, mentor, and fellow sound bender Jon Hassell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite the album's title, one would be hard-pressed to say with certainty whether violin was even involved in this album without being told so ahead of time. In one moment a ghost is heard weeping into a dictaphone; a digitized anime character is nervously chattering in the next; and in still another, jagged sheets of distortion avalanche toward the listener beneath auroric swells of harmony. It's the kind of sound design that requires a dedicated a ttempt by any Oneohtrixian laptop composer, only it's all being generated by Marsh's violin and his curious cabinet of effects pedals often in just one take.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - Black Vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Western Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50521625919819,"sku":"1054079","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/afc2c341-561a-42c9-8744-251f4163d82e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727993114","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/violinvocations","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
