Mark Gardener frontman dei RIDE rilascia il singolo ‘Morning Rise’ con Pure Phase Ensemble 4.
Nonostante il fatto che i RIDE , celebrati pionieri dello shoegaze , siano nel bel mezzo del loro tour mondiale, è ora possibile ascoltare la voce di Mark Gardener nel suo ultimo singolo di Pure Phase Ensemble 4.. ‘Morning Rise‘ è il primo singolo estratto dall’album Pure Fase 4 Ensemble feat. Mark Gardener ‘Live at SpaceFest!‘, Il primo LP con Gardener nello stile celebre anni 90 dei RIDE . Il video di ‘Morning Rise‘ è in anteprima su Northern Transmissions.
Pure Phase Ensemble è un collettivo musicale internazionale, creato appositamente per il festival SpaceFest a Danzica, che si svolge ogni anno nel mese di dicembre ed è organizzato dall’Associazione Nasiono. La città di Danzica ospita questo festival di musica ogni anno nella prima settimana di dicembre, momento in cui numerosi musicisti polacchi e stranieri si riuniscono per prendere parte ad una speciale serie di seminari. Collettivamente compongono il valore di un concerto di musica, che poi presentano dal vivo per i festivalieri. Ogni anno, questa performance unica è registrata dal vivo e successivamente rilasciata come un LP.
Il programma di ogni workshop è diretto congiuntamente da Ray Dickaty, un sassofonista inglese ex membro degli Spiritualized (1997-2002), e Karol Schwarz (KSA), che gestisce anche la Nasiono Records. Insieme a queste due figure chiave, un nuovo curatore musicale – un leggendario, musicista riconosciuto a livello internazionale – è invitato a curare il workshop tenuto in ogni festival.
Durante l’ultima SpaceFest, Mark Gardener, che ha anche recentemente pubblicato un LP con Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins), ha occupato questo posto d’onore. I partecipanti del passato includono Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab), Chris Olley (Six By Seven), Steve Hewitt (ex Placebo), e Jaime Harding (Marion).
“Per me, questo è interessante – è perfetto perché mi ricorda in qualche modo di come alcune delle prime canzoni dei Ride... Non sono venuto con una sceneggiatura. Non c’è un lavoro fatto a monte. Tutto è stato spontaneo “, spiega Mark Gardener. “A volte la musica è utile, le cose che si fanno pensando troppo possono, a volte, uccidere l’energia. Ovviamente alcune cose hanno avuto modo di essere lavorate e sviluppate, ma in questo scenario, con così poco tempo per ottenere un insieme interessante, penso sia stato determinate tenerlo fresco e non eccessivamente funzionale. “
“Il modo in cui abbiamo arrangiato la musica – per me, inizia con un certo stato d’animo e passa attraverso una enorme quantità di emozioni e poi torna ad un stato di familiarità iniziale. Si tratta di un cerchio perfetto di musica.” dice Ray Dickaty.
Più di recente, Pure Fase 4 Ensemble e Mark Gardener hanno collaborato con duo canadese-ucraino Ummagma per creare una radio edit esclusivo per un’altra traccia dell ‘LP dal titolo ‘Happy Dancing Woman’.
Pure Phase Ensemble 4 ‘Live at SpaceFest!’ è attualmente disponibile su Bandcamp, iTunes e Spotify e il CD è anche disponibile sul sito Nasiono Records. L’evento ufficiale di rilascio è avvenuto in occasione di importanti festival OFF della Polonia, dove i RIDE erano anche gli headliner.

RIDE frontman Mark Gardener releases single ‘Morning Rise’ with Pure Phase Ensemble 4
Despite the fact that celebrated shoegaze pioneers RIDE are in the midst of their world tour, you can now hear the sweet vocals and guitar of frontman Mark Gardener on the latest single from Pure Phase Ensemble 4. ‘Morning Rise’ is the first single from the album Pure Phase Ensemble 4 feat. Mark Gardener ‘Live at SpaceFest!’, the first long-play featuring Gardener in RIDE’s celebrated style to have been released since the 90s. The video for ‘Morning Rise’ is premiering in Northern Transmissions.
Pure Phase Ensemble is an international music collective, created especially for the SpaceFest festival in Gdansk, which takes place annually in December and is organised by the Nasiono Association. The city of Gdansk plays host to this blossoming music festival each year in the first week of December, at which time numerous select musicians from Poland and abroad gather to take part in a special workshop series. They collectively compose a concert’s worth of music, which they then present live to the festival-goers. Each year, this unique performance is recorded live and subsequently released as an LP.

The programme for each workshop is jointly directed by Ray Dickaty, a British saxophonist improviser and former member of Spiritualized (1997-2002), and Karol Schwarz (KSAS), who also manages Nasiono Records. Along with these two key figures, a new musical curator – a legendary, internationally recognised musician – is invited to co-curate the workshop held at every festival.
During the latest SpaceFest, Mark Gardener, who also recently released an LP with Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins), occupied this seat of honour. Past participants include Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab), Chris Olley (Six By Seven), Steve Hewitt (ex Placebo), and Jaime Harding (Marion).

“For me, this is interesting – it’s perfect because it reminds me in some ways of how some of the early Ride songs came together… I didn’t come in with a script, nor does Ray. There is no pre-work on this. It was just completely spontaneous,” explains Mark Gardener. “Sometimes music like that is good before things get thought about too much and worked on too much. That can kill the energy sometimes. Of course some things have got to be worked and developed, but in this scenario, with such little time and to get an interesting set together, I think it’s been good to keep it fresh and not over-worked.”
“The way we’ve arranged the music – for me, it starts off in a certain mood and goes through a tremendous amount of emotions and then returns to the familiar mood we started with at the beginning. It’s a perfect circle of music,” says Ray Dickaty.
Most recently, Pure Phase Ensemble 4 and Mark Gardener have teamed up with Canadian-Ukrainian dreampop duo Ummagma to create an exclusive radio edit for another of the LP’s lead tracks ‘Happy Dancing Woman’.
Pure Phase Ensemble 4 ‘Live at SpaceFest!’ is currently available on Bandcamp, iTunes and Spotify and the CD is also available on the Nasiono Records website. The official release event took place at Poland’s major OFF Festival, where RIDE were also the headliners.

“Definitely among the best set of tracks involving Mark Gardener since RIDE’s heyday. Absolutely stunning delivery that leaves me wanting more“ ~ The Record Stache
