Bonobo

Real name, Simon Green, is a British music producer and DJ.Bonobo is one of the pillars to Ninja Tune music label and practitioner of “downtempo.” He is renowned for his heavy, complex bass lines. He often combines sonic sounding music alongside vocals.

I am thinking about uses one of his recent tracks from his album The North Borders for my media product and I think using the rhythm and beats will look effective when combined with imagery.“The album’s narrative takes us through many unexpected territories, each exploring the theme of nature versus machine but in a direction that steadily gears toward the light." If I do use it I hope to blend the camera shots/movement with the beats as I saw in Euan Bakers A2 Media coursework. 

I also like his tracks ‘Don’t Wait’ and ‘Know You’ as I can use the few lyrics to create a storyline.

An interpretation of Bonobo’s track ‘Cirrus’: “The track immediately gives you a spacey organic feel with the glass like chimes along with the echoing effects. A mild high-hat and snare beat enters the civilized melee of sounds along with others that fade in and out throughout the course of the tune. Towards the middle of the song, a heavier bass slides on in giving "Cirrus" that much anticipated weight.”
