Following on from the previously shared ‘Silurian Blue‘, Floating Points has unveiled another track from the forthcoming short film and soundtrack Reflections – Mojave Desert, out via Pluto (Luaka Bop in the US) 30 June. The soaring single-edit of ‘Kelso Dunes’ captures Floating Points performing at the foot of dramatic rock formations as the sun fades. The full 12-minute version of ‘Kelso Dunes’ will be available on the full release.
Reflections – Mojave Desert finds Floating Points aka Sam Shepherd and his band exploring the sonic environment of the Mojave Desert outside Joshua Tree in this thrilling film shot on location last summer.
The world premiere of the short film will take place on 29 June at Barbican in London and Boiler Room will host the global live stream of the event. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Sam Shepherd and film director Anna Diaz Ortuno, hosted by Boiler Room’s Head of Music Raj Chaudhuri.
The first in a planned series of environmental recordings by Floating Points to be filmed and recorded at different locations around the world; the recording was made last year, as Floating Points travelled to the Mojave to rehearse in between US touring. Immediately struck by the distinct sonic tapestry created by the rock formations and valleys, Sam and the band set up a recording operation and filmed this new work at the base of the natural sculptures they encountered. The music of Reflections – Mojave Desert mirrors the landscape: soaring and vast, dynamic and intimate, centred around two longer works and shorter pieces that create a singular and seamless 27-minute experience.
One of London’s most sought-after DJs, producers and live entities, Floating Points has toured with The xx – supporting their record breaking string of dates at Brixton Academy, collaborated with Caribou, Four Tet, and has performed across the globe including festivals like Glastonbury, Primavera, and Pitchfork Festival Europe. Floating Points’ debut LP Elaenia was deemed Resident Advisor’s ‘Album of the Year’ in 2015. This was followed by the Kuiper EP in 2016.
