Sound Ancestors

‘Sound Ancestors (Arranged By Kieran Hebden)’ by Madlib sees the famed hip-hop producer working with Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet - a mouth-watering collaboration that’s been in the offing for some time. To create this record, Madlib sent Hebden various loops, tracks and sound experiments and the Four Tet man messed around with them in his own inimitable style. 

Kieren Hebden: “I was listening to some of his new beats and studio sessions when I had the idea that it would be great to hear some of these ideas made into a Madlib solo album ... arranged into tracks that could all flow together in an album designed to be listened to start to finish ... we decided to work on this together with him sending me tracks, loops, ideas and experiments that I would arrange, edit, manipulate and combine. I was sent hundreds of pieces of music over a couple of years.”
