London-based keyboardist and producer Joe Armon-Jones is an artist that has made an impression right across the UK’s vibrant music scene. As a musician, Armon-Jones is a member of recent Brit-winners Ezra Collective, as well as being a prolific sideman for lauded jazz artists including Moses Boyd and Nubya Garcia. It’s in his solo work that the purest form of Armon-Jones’ vision shines though, combining elements of jazz, dub and the more atmospheric ends of UK electronic music, via collaborations with artists such as DJ/producer Maxwell Owin and dubstep figurehead Mala. This year sees Armon-Jones return with his first solo album in six years, which represents his most ambitious statement to date. Split across two installments, All The Quiet sees Armon-Jones collaborating with the likes of Greentea Peng, Wu Lu, Hak Baker and Yazmin Lacey, along with some of his other regular collaborators. The two-part album is released on Aquarii Records imprint, and Armon-Jones has also recently completed work on his own Aquarii studio – a custom designed space built around his dub-influenced approach to production and mixing. Joe Armon-Jones’ All The Quiet Part 1 is released 28 March via Aquarii Records: https://joearmon-jones.bandcamp.com/album/all-the-quiet-part-i In this video: 00:32 – Creating Aquarii Studios 01:10 – Using the Soundcraft desk and Roland Space Echo 07:52 – Mixing All The Quiet 10:31 – Using spring reverb 13:42 – Joe Armon-Jones on his approach to mixing 15:02 – Dub mixing techniques
