Olly Wilson Composer Portrait Series #1

Obscure Sixties and Seventies tracks compiled to represent Wilson, who moved like nobody else. He does operatic renditions of “Motherless Child” and blends in synth bass and aleatory crackles. Like five decades of liberation music and experimentation blended into one hypnotic and thrilling whole. Totally skilled at making bonkers percussion noises, on top of anything else.
