Nanocluster Vol. 1 is an album with serious pedigree. It sees Immersion (a.k.a. Malka Spigel and Colin Newman of, respectively, influential groups Minimal Compact and Wire) collaborating with some of the finest leftfield artists of our era: Tarwater, Laetitia Sadier, Ulrich Schnauss and Scanner.
The project was born out of a Brighton-based club night, also called Nanocluster, run by Spigel and Newman alongside writer, broadcaster and DJ Graham Duff, and promoter Andy Rossiter. Nanocluster features a range of influential and cutting-edge music acts. But the unique aspect of the evenings is that each show climaxes with a one-off collaboration between Immersion and the headliners. The songs were all written and recorded in the studio over just three days prior to the performances — or one day in the case of Schnauss!
“It could have just been a series of performances,” says Newman, “but the fact that we had built the tracks in the studio for the performances means we had these recordings”. The recordings have since been developed with Immersion heading up production duties. The result is a beautiful and unique album. “I think the really interesting thing is how different everybody is — both as people and creatively,” adds Spigel.
