Objects In Orbit Interview and 'Panoramas' Review

INTERVIEW: Genre-blurring artist discusses his epic 'Uneasy Listening' project 'Panoramas'

I've been a longtime fan of US multimedia artist Objects In Orbit.

Thanks to regular features on - as well as contributions to - my site The New Beatmaker over the years, I'm proud to say Objects...has become a very good friend too.

'Panoramas' is an experimental mix of hip hop, jazz, rock, West African and more.

Whilst the themes explored include such weighty matter as media sexism, warfare and the space race, the funkiness inherent in the project makes it an enjoyable, even danceable, listen.

Which makes me even happier to say his latest musical project 'Panoramas' is arguably the best offering - not only in his own catalouge - but of the year so far.

2020 Midyear Roundup

REVIEW : Memorable music moments from January to June 2020 has been a year of turmoil. We have simultaneously fought a global pandemic and challenged ourselves as a society, with many expressing unrest by hitting the streets, offices and internet in various modes of protest. Contemporary music has always played a multi-faceted role in times of great struggle and this year is no exception. At times music has served as escapism and a welcome distraction to the listeners' woes and worries. At other times, the more painful and harsh realities of the modern world have been documented by the often repressed and under-represented voices in mainstream society. It has also celebrated the tenacity of the human spirit which, through seemingly insurmountable odds, somehow keeps going.
