Today we sit down with prolific synthesizer and keyboard musician, as well as Wax Thematique recording artist Noel Brass Jr. We knew when we released Noel’s debut solo LP, Broken Cloud Orchestra, the record was special to us, but we had no idea how well received it would be outside of our inner circle. Winning praise from Wire magazine, Earshot Jazz and KEXP, all of this was unexpected for only the 3rd release in our catalog. Some time has passed since Broken Cloud Orchestra was released, and yet, Noel continues to record with his psychedelic Jazz group Afrocop, and healm the live keys of Andy Sells’ Select Level project. Most recently, Noel’s been self-releasing gorgeous glowing ambient compositions through his bandcamp page collaborating with visual artists around the globe for a regular series of audio/visual experiments, pairing original art and photography inspired by Noels music while also donating proceeds of his most recent works to medical workers. Here’s a conversation with Noel Brass Jr. in his Seattle apartment studio, enjoy.
