(#23) Day twenty-three of my Song a Day Challenge - Abandon Window - Jon Hopkins 

Jon Hopkins recently teamed up with Sofar Sounds and played a very special one off inimate show with Leo Abrahams to raise money for Amnesty International. Here's a snippet of Abandon Window.

Of course, it's not just the American ambient music scene, presented here by Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Michael Stearns and Patrick O'Hearn, that is tossed into a syntagm that dismisses it, it's the entire genre that is not taken seriously. Luckily, many modern musicians of that idiom seem to avoid these type of problem that plagued Rich and others, one such is Jon Hopkins. Then again, it could be that he is seen as an Eno figure, he even worked with him and we all know that Eno was never seen as the member of Windham Hill Records' style. Moreover, Jon Hopkins is similar to Eno in the fact that ambient is just one of the flavours of his design, he is not primarily interested in that tone like those we mentioned. Maybe that is why the contemporary electronica dodges the usual criticisms of ambient music, because the characteristics of it blend with other sonic traits.

Here’s another bit of Moderat playing their remix of Jon Hopkins’s Abandon Window for you, @theoddhatman.

Because he’s had to miss their show, because we’ve bonded over our shared love for Jon Hopkins, and because it was his birthday two days ago, here’s a bit of Moderat playing their remix of Jon Hopkins’s Abandon Window that I recorded for @theoddhatman​.
