Profile GeneratorOriginally from 17th Century Italy, Cardinal Bunion now finds himself in present day London producing tracks for his sample-based project 'The Magpie Operation'.
Following a freak time-porthole incident in 1657, his Eminence was whisked away from his Rome diocese to an alien future world, where the music he witnessed was a million miles from the plainsong, motets and madrigals of Monteverdi.
After a period of confusion and mourning, the Cardinal slowly began hearing and obsessing over much of the music of recent decades... A creature of shyness, ill at ease with the pressures of the 21st Century, he now rarely ventures into the public domain, favouring the comfort and security of his studio. Here, he creates music inspired by the sounds and grooves of the'50s,'60s and '70s.
Breaks and loops are used as a basis upon which to build and layer live instrumentation, using the collaborative efforts of a regular group of London-based musicians. Be seated and listen with your ears!!
