Review
of Jasper Leyland 'Capsize' EP from The Wire magazine:
Jasper
Leyland is the alias of Norwich based producer Jonathan Brewster,
whose pieces derive much of their charm from his meticulous laptop
explorations of extended sonic periods. The title track on his debut
release builds up a gentle forward motion through the slowly mutating
repetition of a series of chimes; the faint sounds of bird calls
and a sequence of tight rhythmic pulsations give the piece a lot
of its character. The other three cuts on this EP show a similar
precision and focus in their thoughtful development, so that even
the false ending on closing track 'Copper' works well for him.
