Press Colour: Reframing Memory Through Music With Charlie Hill
Meanjin/Brisbane based drummer and producer Charlie Hill rounds off a huge 2023 with a new solo EP "Yore", released on fellow Brisbane local Sampology's label Middle Name Records, following on from a fantastic collaborative EP that Charlie and Sampology dropped earlier this year.
The EP's title "Yore" traditionally refers to times from long ago, for Hill, it’s more representative of how the passage of time can reframe our memories through a nostalgic rose-tinged lens. “Yore is a dance-inspired release made with a sample library made up of snippets of recordings of close friends and family,” he says. “The collaging of all these recordings represents many amazing memories of the people that mean so much to me.”
Listen back to his chat with Sam to hear how this kaleidscopic collage of sounds came to life.
