Regional Surrealism - LP

You might be familiar with Konx-om-Pax's previous work without already being aware of it. Glasgow's Tom Scholefield; is a 3D film director and graphic artist who's made videos for locals Hudson Mohawke and Mogwai as well as Martyn, Jamie Lidell, Kuedo and Lone; sleeve artwork for Oneohtrix Point Never, Rustie, King Midas Sound and others; plus he has toured with Mogwai as a DJ. So how on Earth does he find the time to make music, or the energy? Scholefield explains that he writes music to chill out. In contrast to his bright, synthetic and colorful artwork and videos, his music is more mossy and analog. Often beatless, personal and located in a transporting surrealism, it's sometimes inspired by the idea of re-scoring films and TV. 'Glacier Mountain Descent' for instance is a re-imagining of the opening scene from Werner Herzog's Aguirre.
