Scientist at Fasching

Description

It is difficult to overstate Hopeton Brown’s influence on the history of dub. Under the alias Scientist, he crafted sonic worlds so powerful that they still sound like music from the future. With his unmistakable signature of deep basslines, spacious echoes and hypnotic reverb, he redefined the sonic landscape of dub and inspired countless producers in his wake. Brown got his start as an apprentice at King Tubby’s legendary studio in Kingston during the 1970s. Among the studio equipment on Dromilly Avenue, the young protégé would go on to transform the art of mixing. “Anyone who can do that must be a Scientist,” King Tubby famously said — and so Hopeton Brown was given his artist name. During the 1980s, Scientist made the leap from apprentice to master in his own right, releasing a series of groundbreaking albums recorded at Channel One and Tuff Gong. On this February evening at Fasching, the spotlight will be on the 1981 classic Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires. With equal parts scientific precision, raw explosiveness and a playful sense of humour, he takes tracks apart and rebuilds them from their individual components, dressing them in galactic echoes, planet-shaking bass and drum hits powerful enough to awaken both spirits and dancefloors. A living legend from dub’s golden era presents one of his most beloved albums live! TICKETS Can be bought alone or as a combo with Elijah Minnelli later the same night here: https://www.fasching.se/kombobiljett-scientist-elijah-minnelli/#2027-02-05T20-00 __________________- Det är svårt att överskatta Hopeton Browns inflytande på dubens historia. Under aliaset Scientist skruvade han fram ljudvärldar så mäktiga att de fortfarande känns som framtidsmusik. Med sin omisskännliga signatur av djupa basgångar, rumsliga ekon och hypnotisk reverb omdefinierade han dubsoundets ljudlandskap och inspirerade otaliga producenter i hans svallvågor. Brown fick sin start som lärling i King Tubbys legendariska studio i Kingston, under 1970-talet. Bland studioutrustningen på Dromilly Avenue kom den unge adepten att förändra konsten att mixa. ”Anyone who can do that, must be a Scientist”, sa King Tubby och så fick Hopeton Brown sitt artistnamn. Under 80-talet tog Scientist klivet från lärjunge till mästare i egen rätt med en rad banbrytande album inspelade på Channel One och Tuff Gong. Denna februarikväll på Fasching är det klassikern Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires, från 1981, som står i fokus. Med lika delar vetenskaplig precision, ruffig explosivitet och humoristisk glimt i ögat plockar han isär och bygger upp låtar från sina beståndsdelar, och klär dem i galaktiska ekon, planetsprängarbas och trumsnärtar som kan väcka både andar och dansgolv. En levande legend från dubens gyllene era presenterar ett av sina mest älskade album live! Minimum age: 18+
