about

observatories is a collaboration with my old friend Craig Tattersall. 'our recently acquired knowledge' was released in January 2023 on CD, vinyl and photography book by Tereza Kozinc & Klavdij Sluban on the IIKKI (France) label. This was our second release together (both on IIKKI) with two more due out in 2023 and 2024 on Quiet Details (UK) and Dauw (Belgium) respectively.

With love and special thanks to Mathias.

"Our Recently Acquired Knowledge" is the result of the music by Observatories (Ian Hawgood & Craig Tattersall) featuring the book "7 AM" with the photographic works by Tereza Kozinc and Klavdij Sluban initiated by IIKKI, between July 2022 and December 2022. 


the complete project works in two physical imprints:
a book and a disc (vinyl/cd)
it should be experienced in different ways :
the book read alone
the disc listened to alone
the book and the disc read and listened to together.

___________________________________________________

Observatories is a collaborative music project by Ian Hawgood and Craig Tattersall. This is their second opus together after their first release on IIKKI in March 2021.

Born in the United Kingdom, Ian Hawgood spent most of his adult life living in Japan, Italy and Poland. Currently he calls Peacehaven (on the south coast, near Brighton) his home. Since 2009, he’s well-known with his work as the curator of the Home Normal label. He makes music using an array of reel-to-reel and tape machines in his studio by the sea, where he also master works for many labels and artists alike. You could often catch him on the coast with his faithful Nagra recorder, hydrophone and field microphones. These days his focus of music is on decayed ambient works using old synths and reels mostly, alongside his childhood piano.

Craig Tattersall is a former member of The Remote Viewer and Famous Boyfriend bandmate Andrew Johnson. Tattersall's music can be found these days more often under his alias The Humble Bee; as a founder member of The Boats; and in his collaborative works with the likes of Bill Seaman in The Seaman And The Tattered Sail. He has run the wonderful label Cotton Goods from 2008 to 2015 and since 2009 he has recorded 15 solo albums on his moniker The Humble Bee and almost the same under his name on some collaborations.
