about

BOLD/COWLING’s debut album we may be on the way is an audio-visual journey through the ruins and dreams of our past, present and future.Combining vintage soundtracks, speech, guitar and samples from video footage into a variety of atmospheres, noises, melodies and rhythms, they merge analogue and digital, lo-fi and hi-fi, old and new into a unique sound aesthetic.

Most of the sampled material used on this album was found in 70s and 80s documentaries which deal with future technologies, ancient myths, the occult and aliens. BOLD/COWLING use these topics as metaphors to formulate those questions which have been raised by culture ever since: about time, immortality, the nature of man and the search for meaning.

Their compositional practice of interweaving sound, speech, references and topics takes many forms and offers no easy solutions. From spectacular to devastating moods and from abstract to song-like structures, this album confronts these existential questions in richly
multifaceted ways.

Andy Cowling and John-Robin Bold, both sharing a background as classical guitarists, have been strongly influenced by their study of classical music. This understanding led them to push the boundaries of electronic music's formal and narrative possibilities further. Over the
past few years, they have performed audio-visual concerts throughout Europe and have released individually on Mille Plateaux, Quanta Records and bitbird.
