Kinn Presents #9 - Sad & Songless Sounds (Sonic Diary 2016-2021) ▾
I try to upkeep a daily studio practice, even if it’s spending half an hour playing guitar after slogging it through work all day. Most of this becomes documented in folders of audio to be used for later projects.
However, with such a clear and singular vision for what I want to achieve with Kinn and my other aliases, the majority of these sonic experiments never find an appropriate home.
This show is a means to share these raw & textured sounds in short 10-30 second bursts of my personal recordings (2016-2021), from modular synth noodling, jams with friends, outtakes & studio recordings from the next album and more.
The resulting experience is familiar to any sound enthusiast, from the favoured form of procrastinating via blearily scrolling through social media; listening through snippets of new releases on Boomkat; to preparing to begin a new project by rifling through the killer euclidean rhythms you got really excited about after a bottle of bargain barrel wine but now you’re wondering if the world needs another AFX knockoff.
For those into sound and who hate music.
Channelling an array of fervent interests in many genres through different mediums (Film, Music, Sound Art and more), Kinn - the brooding-electronics project of London based artist Freddy Lomas - and his guests use original soundscapes and compositions to weave together an original concept for each month's show.

First Light's Third Space #5 - Adam Sherry & Lee Tesche ▾
This month, First Light's Third Space is visited by artists Adam Sherry (London) and Lee Tesche (New Smyrna Beach, Florida).
In Adam's own words, the first half of the show was "recorded over December 2021 as a difficult year drew to a close, the one ahead now coming into view offering hope. This mix features songs by some of my good friends and favourite London based artists, the sonic threads of a community, intertwined with numerous sound walks, flickering moments of inspiration + a few unreleased dead forest fragments share an insight into a bright but transient moment in time."
Best known for his work with the band Algiers, Lee's mix for Third Space encompasses sounds from the coastal area around Cape Canaveral and central Florida. A collection of several years of field recordings, local short wave and marina radio stations, Atlantic Center for the Arts residency work, found ¼” tape reels from the county courthouse, NASA audio archives, local music tapes, and his own collaborative projects during this period, give shape to a fascinating area that his family has inhabited for over half a century.
Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.
