Josh Wink continues to mark the 30th anniversary of his Ovum Recordings label with the release of a new EP, Progression.
The ten minute title track is described as taking the listener to ‘cinematic deep space territory via a galaxy of immaculately produced bleeps, beats and rising synths’, and is backed by an Ambient Mix on the flip side. It was released on Ovum Recordings on 9 August.
“I had so much fun writing this track. I started it in my studio with a certain direction in mind,” Wink says of the track. “I had a flight to San Fransisco from Philly and I finished the basic outline of what became ‘Progression’. I was sitting on the window seat and at 32,000 feet was mesmerised by the calm and serenity of the Mammatus clouds which seemed to be on fire due to the setting of the sun. Intense variations of orange, pink and purples, like looking into hot embers of a camp fire.
“I was moved and influenced by my serene visions and felt a deep tranquil state which influenced the floating, soaring and introspective nature of the song. I base a lot of my music on tension, and the track holds true to this anticipation of when things will change, evolve and progress during the advancement of the track, leading into a welcomed crescendo of rhythm and etherial ardent melodies. I like to make statements in my compositions and I believe when listened to from start to finish, it will leave your body and mind satisfied, filled with gratitude and internal smiles.”
Founded in 1994, Ovum Recordings has more than 400 releases under its belt, and is associated with over 130 artists.
To mark the 30th anniversary of the label, Wink took Ovum on the road this summer, with events in Brighton and Chelmsford, UK, Montpellier, France, Viano do Castelo, Portugal, and Washington DC, USA.
