Description
It was the arrival of a Studer A80 master tape recorder at Sam Shepherd’s place, better known as Floating Points, that prompted him to build the studio where his debut album Elaenia would come to life. After a slight miscalculation prevented him from physically fitting the machine into his home, what followed turned out to be a beautiful example of the butterfly effect.
Breaking away from making electronic music on his laptop, the DJ, producer and composer spent the next five years creating Elaenia, all while DJing around the world and working toward his PhD in neuroscience. An incredibly original album inspired by classical music, jazz, electronic music, soul and even Brazilian popular music, Elaenia, named after the bird of the same name, embodies Floating Points’ forward-thinking vision in 2015.
