Faith Coloccia & Philip Jeck - Stardust (2021)

From Philip Jeck:

After first meeting at a concert of mine in Seattle, I was asked if I'd like to work on some recordings of Faith that would be sent to me as dubplates. I liked them a lot and started to work on them but without much success, I couldn't at that time come up with anything that I thought added to Faith's pieces. Last year in covid lockdown Faith asked again if I felt like reworking again her dubplate recordings. Second time around I really enjoyed reshaping and finding a place in them. It then took about one month to complete the tracks to my own satisfaction and sent them to Faith (hoping that she would also like them!)

from Faith Coloccia:

Philip and I met in Seattle WA at the Touch Conference in 2016. It was the first time I had seen him perform live, the experience was beautiful, full of emotion and magic, I knew I had to become friends with him! I kept in contact with Philip, and asked if he wanted to collaborate on a music project with me, to which he agreed. I recorded my tracks when my son was a newborn during his nap times. It was an interesting process to think about someone else's creative practice beforehand, knowing that I would be making sounds for him to use and change. Part of this process was preparing dubplates to be sent to Philip, which was a first for me. Philip worked on the music for a while and then took a break, while I continued with my other music. Then during the shutdown and pandemic of 2020, I asked Philip if he was still interested, and by then he had plenty of time, and created the mixes that became Stardust.
