JON HOPKINS & THE CREATORS PROJECT PREMIERE “IMMUNITY” VIDEO

 

ANNOUNCES NEW YORK RECORD RELEASE SHOW – TUE. JUNE 4 @ GLASSLANDS

  

Just under a month until the release of Jon Hopkins’ forthcoming album, Immunity, out June 4th on Domino Records, we are excited to premiere the extraordinary new audio/visual piece and collaboration with The Creators Project“Immunity.”

 

The “Immunity” video was an intricate collaborative effort between art director & typographer Craig Ward, biochemist Linden Gledhill and Jon Hopkins. Soundtracked by music from the forthcoming album, the piece features Gledhill’s microscopic time-lapse photography of crystal growth and chemical reactions. Craig Ward explains:

 

“Jon’s music is organic and flowing, yet with a hard and rhythmic electronic edge. The idea of delving down to explore chemical interactions under a microscope felt like the perfect solve to create the album imagery and our video for The Creators’ Project features much of the same – various immiscible liquids, dyes and chemicals interacting underneath the watchful eye of my collaborator on the project, biochemist Linden Gledhill.”

After performing at Webster Hall this past Wednesday night with Four Tet as part of Red Bull Music Academy New York 2013, Jon will return to New York for a record release show at Glasslands on June 4th, Immunity‘s release date. This follows a performance at Mutek in Montreal on May 31st and precedes a sold out hometown show in London.

“His textures and sounds are so fantastically done, and so intriguing and deep. There are little worlds he creates of sound.” — NPR Music’s “All Songs Considered”

“a surging eight-minute tower of a tune from the London producer” — Pitchfork

“‘Open Eye Signal’ is one of those tunes that-at a blissful eight minutes in length-sits in a position where it is strong enough to stand on its own, yet it clearly also invites the possibility of making for some quality remixes.” — XLR8R

 

“a wormhole of time and space. You press play on the track, and next thing you know the unfolding journey of warm static and clipped percussion has deposited you on the other side of a portal. WTF just happened?” — BULLETT

“Hopkins constructs the tune in such a gradual and methodical process that it generates an air of organic warmth and life” — Consequence of Sound

“Electrifying” — NME

 

“a wonderfully full, earthy-sounding piece of motorik technopop” — The Quietus

 

“quasi-Baroque figures, cathedral chords in rounded (and Eno-esque) keyboard tones. With the pomp grounded by the crunch, it suggested a classical education sidetracked by the beat, and Mr. Hopkins wasn’t too arty to wind up with more crowd-pleasing trance bangers.” — The New York Times
