Seeds by Diger Rokwell

‘Seeds' is a psychedelic 4 track extended play from 3 times WAM award winning producer and Perth creative, Ash Hosken aka Diger Rokwell‘ Seeds’ reflects his continued experimentation into multi- instrumentalism. It is one in a series of extended plays, a sequel to his House music interpretation: Innersense, focusing on one ‘musical influence’ per release. The series will culminate in a full album of choice cuts in 2016. ‘Seeds' is a journey: tinged with hip-hop drums, crunchy percussion, ethereal drone, psych leads and soaring Sonic’s. Home recorded and mixed with his best-mate Ryan Burge aka YLEM, mastered by Dave Cooley of Stones Throw fame, ‘Seeds’ reviles in the crunch of pedals, drenched reverb, and the art of releasing independent music.

The release was developed through his unique live shows with a strong foundation in jam elements and improvisation. Largely know for his exotic sample based beat excursions, the EP ’Seeds' marks another departure from sampling into a world of playing and recording a variety of instruments. The work focuses on Diger's left handed, upside down guitar playing with unique DADA tuning on four strings, providing a distinctive open and eastern sound. Diger plays various instruments collected over a lifetime: Crafted synths, keys, organ, slide, bass and vocals for various tracks provide a real organic element to his ‘electronic’ approach.

The release wails with the psych inspired tunes, ‘You’ and ‘Take Flight’ then reverbs grandly with the pseudo-electronic pieces ‘My Heart’ and self titled ‘Seeds’. It is an aural continuation of Diger Rokwell’s diverse creations that displays musical maturity and celebrates creativity. It is the first time that Rokwell’s music has been released on vinyl. Available digitally via ITUNES and via limited edition high quality 10-inch vinyl at the launch and through selected retailers. Preorders are available via I TUNES from Thursday the 24th of June 2015. ‘Seeds’ is an exciting chapter in the strong line of Diger Rokwell’s diverse thematic musical works.
