I spent much of the summer this year working on an article for Bandcamp about Roland Kayn and the ongoing project releasing the late composer’s archival works. Ian Fenton, who runs the Finnish label Frozen Reeds, was kind enough to get me in touch with Jim O’Rourke, who has worked diligently on restoring the tapes of Kayn’s work for years. O’Rourke’s thirty-plus career in music has included a stint in Sonic Youth, bands such as Gastr Del Sol, engineering work for artists such as Wilco, Stereolab, and Smog, and frequent collaborations with luminaries such as Oren Ambarchi, Keiji Haino and Christian Fennesz. More recently, O’Rourke has been steadily expanding his set of experimental releases known as the Steamroom series, the 59th installment of which was released in November.
