Prisma was released in September 2021. Since it’s so different from all my other music, I offered it as a free download. Some people liked it, some others didn’t. But for me this rhythmical experiment felt like a succes. And although I didn’t necessarily wanted to make more in the same vein (there’s already so many ideas in these 17 minutes), I felt that it could be expended somehow. So I asked a few artists the I highly admire to do a rework of the piece. Matt Wand, Nick Storring, and Phil Maguire all did an amazing job with their highly idiosyncratic takes on Prisma. The result is the album Prisma+, which is now available digitally on on compact disc.
In Matt Wand’s words: “two epics on the outside like bread, the Dub Tactile filling and my bits like spicy mayo and relish smeared in between the layers.”
