Stitched Vision
May 23, 2010
Stitched Vision is Jason Campbell, once global roamer now fringe-dwelling citizen of Newcastle, Australia. His pedal-heavy synthscapes are neither nostalgic nor futuristic, but rather channel the current plight of his city of residence, unfolding as explorations of urban decay and cultural regeneration. Understated melodies sheathed in white noise – pitting the organic against the industrial – mark Campbell’s work and come to symbolise Newcastle’s attempts at rejuvenation beyond its steelworks and coal exporting harbour (the largest in the world). However, this link may well be tenuous: what Stitched Vision spews forth isn’t black but blissed-out, occasionally bleak and altogether beautiful. Press play and add your own context.
With meticulously reworked material and a growing reputation for ear melting live shows, Stitched Vision is presently opening eyes and expanding minds. Stitched Vision’s debut recording, the Open Palms c24, was released in early 2010 as a limited edition of 50. For more information: http://stitchedvision.blogspot.com/
