A big thanks to Ingrown Records for featuring Rained Down on the Outsider Radio Show #27. For reference Rained Down plays at 2:21:04 during the show.
I’d highly recommend checking out their excellently curated shows on their website or on Mixcloud. They also have a great range of records for sale and merch as well!
Shot on 35mm film, Mark Howden’s Sun is Through draws inspiration from the remoteness and grandeur of the New Zealand landscape and from the allure of aerial photography.
In 2001 while strapped to the door of a little Cessna photographing the landscape, the first impression I had was that I was seeing familiar things from a new perspective. Roads I had driven on, beaches visited or camped, sometimes an intimate knowledge of certain areas, houses or buildings. I was seeing it apart from what I knew.
I had this constant awareness too that the subject I was involved with would change, because I could see some of this process at work from the plane. Working with this footage now evokes this concept —now though with the perspective or what has changed.
The landscapes are from another reality, the project is now a dream.
Turns and Returns was released last week, completing four-sixths of the Dreams EP 2025. Thanks Frequency State and (the now defunct) Jahrund for including it in their playlists!
