ARC046: Gyratory System - Barons Court Turret
1. Barons Court Turret
Barons Court Turret is the debut release on Angular for 'alien marching band' Gyratory System. Producer Andrew Blick and his cohorts create a sound where trumpets and saxophones become elephants and sirens, bass flows like running water and snakes, and drums become the sound of marching ants and the crack of gunfire. Using a futuristic system called 'The Process' Gyratory System create a mix like The Boys Brigade and Chic mutated by Eno and Bowie in a lab in West London.

Gyratory System gradually emerged from a succession of improvisational trumpet projects and collaborations that led the late John Peel to joke that he was going to have Blick barred from the BBC's Maida Vale studios as he'd featured on so many sessions. In demand for a method of playing trumpet through effects that still remains a rare art, Blick pursued the Gyratory System project and developed a recording and production technique he dubs 'The Process'...
Angular joins the Record Store Day celebrations with the release of Gyratory System's critically lauded second LP, 'New Harmony' and a show at Rough Trade's RSD event.
GYRATORY SYSTEM is the sound of electronica played by clockwork and steam-powered sequencers and they will soon have a new album for your ears...
