Melody As Truth presents ‘The Side I Never See’, by Hugh Small & Brian Allen Simon. Hugh forms half of Scottish post-punk duo Vazz (see recent Stroom retrospective), Brian is known best for his solo project Anenon, under which name he has released four full length albums and multiple remixes for artists including Ryuichi Sakamoto.An improvised recording of Brian playing over the Vazz piece ‘Kazimierz’ catalysed this long-distance collaboration; 2,000 feet up a mountain in Andalucia, Hugh heard the recording on a broadcast of Brian’s Dublab LA radio show. Immediately taken in by Brian’s playing, the pair soon established contact and began discussing the possibility of working to create something new together.The results are fully realised in ‘The Side I Never See’, a shimmering suite of ten compositions for piano, soprano saxophone, synthesiser and guitar. "So, what is it? It’s Ambient-Punk, Abstract-Jazz, Disaffected-Classical, it’s whatever the fuck you want it to be!" - Hugh SmallMastered by Stephan Mathieu, Artwork by Michael Willis.The Side I Never See by Hugh Small & Brian Allen Simon
