Composer/producer and Algebra Records head Casually Here provides the fifth in a series of 8 remixes of Emma-Kate Matthews' 2020 EP 'Far Flung'. Casually Here's remix of About The Light captures feelings of deep widescreen back-of-the-neck meditative ambient calm.

Casually Here (Nic Nell) is a multidisciplinary artist, composer, sound designer & record producer with a background in art & mathematics. Recent projects producing Orlando Weeks' acclaimed 'A Quickening' album and his collaborative album 'Many Worlds' with Lawrence Hart released as a series of EPs on Scuba's Hotflush Recordings.

Emma-Kate Matthews is a London-based multidisciplinary artist, composer and architect and released the Far Flung EP on Algebra Records at the end of 2020 as a series of limited edition transparent lathe cut 12"s with handmade textile artwork and audio-reactive visuals. Far Flung is a complex collage of dance floor adjacent electronica that gets you thinking and moving.

Each remix includes new video art by Emma-Kate Matthews.

The Far Flung EP explores the contrasting styles of synthesised versus acoustic sounds, field recordings versus musical motifs and digital versus analogue techniques for producing and manipulating sounds. Eerie drones are interwoven with complex upbeat rhythms, deep layered harmonies and erratic melodies to form an elastic sonic fabric which oscillates between moments of lightweight sonic ambiguity and highly-charged musical statements.

The remixes are being released once per week until the album is released in full on the 8th of December 2021 with remixes from Heavenly Stems, Casually Here, Dampé, Eye Measure, Sunplus, Ben McDonnell and Emma-Kate Matthews herself.

Nic founded and runs experimental record label Algebra Records to support emerging artists both practically & collegiately, & to help foster artistic community & context. Recent Algebra releases included the two debut EPs from Heavenly Stems and Sunplus' debut album 'More Colour'. Upcoming releases include artists Sami El-Enany, Liam Hutton, ELY and the next Casually Here album.
