Ian Hawgood comes to Rope Swing Cities with a recent string of releases on such labels as Resting Bell, Best Kept Secret, and Experimedia. With this release Ian offers exactly what the title suggests: an emotional collection of cinematic sounds.

Ian Hawgood creates music with an effortless flow and intelligent, minimalist programming aesthetic that lends itself to the art of the movie soundtrack.With each piece contained in Soundtrack To A Film In My Head Which Will Never Get Made Ian constructs a visual picture in the mind, making use of everything from moaning violins to ethereal, synthesized drones. Ranging from ambient contemplations to subtly beat driven melancholy, this EP offers the most complete experience when taken in as a whole. From the eerie scratchy synth of A Man and His Lover... to the mesmerizing tonal play of End Credits To a Movie..., Ian crafts one beautiful tune after another.

Please help us welcome Ian to RSC by just loving the crap out of this release. Keep an eye out for forthcoming 3inch CD release of remixes toward the end of the year! For more on Mr. Hawgood, you should click.
