Tell me what I need to know about Gigi Masin

Really similar so either one! Gigi can do no wrong

yeah this is terrific, different feel than calypso, maybe a little more stripped back and synthesized overall, but still all of his signature depth and lyricism

weirdly not on his personal BC page

Strut presents an exclusive new collaboration between UK jazz keyboardist Greg Foat and Venetian ambient / electronic maestro Gigi Masin on ‘Dolphin’:

First available track is gorgeous & lush

this is a lovely & luxurious drift, curious to hear how gigi is integrated in the rest of this record

yeah sounds great thx

calypso is the one i can't stop listening to lately. it's like every relaxing activity you can imagine - lying in a park and staring at clouds, people watching in a cafe, taking a train ride, watching the tide go out - combined and condensed into one album.

I agree! New Greg Foat collab delivers too!

map have you heard that in full yet? It's gorgeous but with obviously more forward piano which makes it more conventional sounding than a typical Masin record, but still feels very much a part of his universe.

Also must say that Gaussian Curve's The Distance gives me the same romantic-mundane serenity spirit as you described regarding Calypso.

DREAM COLLAB!!

Heads up, people!

v intrigued

me too

Yeah thanks Evan, ordered it yesterday <3

You're welcome! I also grabbed it right away

I'm going to immure this Masin remix of Eddie Chacon's 'Sundown' in some far chamber of my heart and just let it roll on forever.

Probably not the right thread for it but post/thread on Twitter that would suggest, if true, that Greg Foat is a bit of an arsehole

Just Greg Foat losing his mind at me for posting on FB about my Louder Than War best albums inclusion and saying that it can be pretty challenging and thankless promoting records as an independent artist.

First he dropped a little public post about it, now he’s in my DMs. pic.twitter.com/zyUCQIfohb

wtf business is it of Foat's if some website listed scrimshire's album on their best of list? what an ass

Feels like there's a really big hole in the plot here. Otherwise it's a completely random attack by GF,which is insane.

I read that entire thread and I'm still not exactly clear about what it is Foat is upset about

Holy heck, what repellant behaviour

I lol'd at "wet wipe", though. There's got to be more to this saga.

Yeah unless there is more context to their beef I would otherwise assume alcohol or something. But it certainly seems like Greg had already had a major bone to pick with him.

ANYWHO the Masin / Modell collab record is so beautiful maybe let's focus back on that

Actually it’s my favorite album of the year?

New Gaussian Curve!!

Truth be told, I'm feeling a bit emotionally fragile right now and also still finding Jamie's death hard to process so that was a hard (but very beautiful) listen

gorgeous <3
