All These Places, Together

Released in October 2026 on the label Whitelabrecs, 'All These Places, Together' is a significant solo album by the prolific UK-based ambient artist and mastering engineer Ian Hawgood. The record is composed around a collection of field recordings contributed by friends from across the globe, reflecting Hawgood's long-standing fascination with memory, movement, and the concept of home. True to his signature aesthetic, the material was processed through multiple generations of tape, resulting in a sonic texture defined by characteristic pitch drift, warble, and degradation. This approach imbues the work with a tangible sense of human presence and organic imperfection, situating it firmly within the contemporary ambient and experimental landscape. As a seasoned producer with an extensive discography on labels like 12k and Morr Music, Hawgood continues to refine his deeply personal, quietist approach to sound design here. The album is available in a limited deluxe edition gatefold vinyl-effect CD format, further emphasizing the tactile nature of his creative process.
