Coney Island Sound

Electronic, Rock, Folk and World
A.k.a. Ewan Gordon

Coney Island Sound is an experimental project by sound archivist Ewan Gordon that fuses samples of old recordings, junkshop synths, found sounds and acoustic instruments in a folk and electronica influenced mix. The result is a collage of light hearted cut-and-paste electronic music with a coastal living influence running through it. The debut album Klang!, is released on the Score Draw Music. Album tracks including Klang!, Nautical By Nature and Introducing Mr Kellogg have picked up plays on BBC national and regional Introducing shows. Tracks have also featured on specialist shows including Stephen McCauley's BBC Electric Mainline show, Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone on BBC 6 Music and Stuart Bailie's Radio Ulster Show. The Lemonade Song was chosen as Lauren Laverne's headphones moment on her BBC6 Music breakfast show. Album tracks have also featured on XFM, Resonance FM and have been regularly played on Amazing Radio. Ewan has also composed bespoke music for Short Film and Television. "It’s all part of the excellent lightness that is Klang!, an album of found sound, child-like wonder, Arcadian electronica. Yes, and occasional voices, glitch-craft, simple Casio machines and toytown play. There is reason to smile, to feel rather giddy, to give yourself into the method that is Coney Island Sound."
