Conversations Late at Night
I had a lovely talk for a podcast called Converstations Late at Night about Japan, my music and the importance of community. you can check it out here: -
Collaboration with Fennesz
Christian Fennesz and I have collaborated on a song called “Guru,” utilizing the poem of the same name for the second volume of ‘Allen Ginsberg’s The Fall of America’.This exciting tribute celebrates the 50th Anniversary of beloved poet Allen Ginsberg’s “The Fall of America: Poems of these States”, 1965-1971. In the fall of 2020 with the 50th anniversary of those poems fast approaching the curators of this release reached out to many of Allen’s musician and artist friends. Many responded enthusiastically about interpreting these poems to music; even those poems that presented more of a musical challenge. All proceeds will be donated to HeadCount.org, an organisation which promotes voter registration and participation in democracy through the power of music.
Our track will appear on Volume Two this fall alongside a humbling cast of artists including Miho Hatori, Steve Hillage, Meat Beat Manifesto, Ai WeiWei, William Basinski, Philip Glass, and more.

Mur
Deupree describes the album title “as if there’s always something about my music that’s like a murmur”, resulting in a murmuring effect when pronouncing the names of each track. Mur is a personal journey through the challenging year that 2020 has been.
Taylor Deupree is an American musician and mastering engineer based just outside of New York. As a former member of the American electronic band Prototype 909, Deupree has had numerous collaborations with artists such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Stephen Vitiello, Alva Noto and Marcus Fischer. Curating 12k, a New-York based music label, is another aspect of Deupree’s career and brought together over one hundred releases since its beginnings in 1997. Having some similar artists in our catalog (Federico Durand, Will Samson and Steinbüchel for example), it’s safe to say that Deupree’s new release through Dauw will be in good company.
