about

Warp artists Mark Clifford and Mira Calix have been good friends for a long time. During the 5 year period between 1999 and 2004, they'd meet up from time to time, hang out, drink a lot of coffee, smoke too many cigarettes, stay up all night and make some noise. The songs on Lost Foundling come from this very loose and irregular working period. Their initial plan was to come back to the tracks at some point, mix them and release them. However, they were both busy with other projects and when Andrea Parker expressed and interest in releasing the material on her newly established Aperture label, the duo discovered it was impossible to go back and meddle in their material.

Mira and Mark had recorded their songs on an evolutionary range of formats, whatever was to hand, and when they went to dig out the computer files, dat tapes, floppy and zip drives, they were reminded that most of these had become obselete, in what felt like a brief decade. There was no going back. The duo selected 13 of their favourite tracks, leaving them untouched. Lost Foundling captures a slice in time, a document of their discovery and experimentation as musicians, the songs have survived, unihibited, tender and instinctive.

Mark Clifford is a founder member of Seefeel. The band released their first album, Quique on Too Pure, followed by Succour and other EPs on Warp as well as (CH-Vox) on Rephlex. Mark worked closely with the Cocteau Twins, producing the 'Otherness' EP and has many remix and solo and collaborative projects under his belt. Having recently reformed, Seefeel are currently in the studio working on a new material and have been playing live.

Mira Calix has released five albums and is signed to Warp Records. Her earlier music is almost exclusively electronic in nature, however, since 2003 she has incorporated orchestration and classical instruments into her work for installation pieces, film soundtracks and theatre. Mira has been commissioned to write pieces for the London Sinfonietta, the Aldeburgh Festival, The Royal Shakespeare Company, Opera North and The Manchester International Festival amongst others. She has recently been nominated for the British Composer Awards for `My Secret Heart¿, a commison by Streetwise Opera and has been awarded a `Grant For The Arts¿ by the The Arts Council Of England, to develop her skills in orchestration in collaboration with composers; Tansy Davies and Larry Goves.

Rupt and Flex (1994 - 96)
by Seefeel

supported by 6 fans who also own “lost foundling 1999 - 2004”

As a band, they were really doing something strange at the time by making music that sounded so resolutely like it came from the bedroom of a solo producer. "Vocals" are just snatches of floating sound, drums are often electronic... all the instruments sound electronic. They were clearly inspired by dub (who isn't) and started with stripped-down fragments, but then kept whittling down from there. Mood-wise they're bleak yet beautiful, like enjoying a solo walk in an industrial landscape. Jascha Narveson

Sitting on the grey shore of Puget Sound as Playback filters in and out over sea birds fishing and fog soaked evergreens drip into the forest behind me. At times I wonder what fully developed tracks might have sounded like. Mostly just enjoying its enhancement of my environment. edlalu

Lunatic Harness (25th Anniversary Edition)
by µ-Ziq

supported by 5 fans who also own “lost foundling 1999 - 2004”

Simply just a legendary set of tracks. There's nothing in this world quite like Lunatic Harness; a truly rich and detailed, borderline-melancholic set of melodies and chords, wrapped up in some of the sexiest drum break work you've ever heard. Lunatic Harness is THE µ-Ziq album. cath
