about

With profits going to local Food bank and Shelter charity EatOrHeat; this is a musical archive commission from, and for, the people of Waltham Forest, telling local stories of our music and its creators from around the world. An archive of commissioned collaborations from artists right across Waltham Forest. This special project has brought these people together at a time when society has been forced into separation. These artists are from all corners of the globe. We have Israeli jazz, Tamil folk songs, traditional and electronic folk, acoustic delights from Island, Senegalese beats, Leytonstone electronica, and so much more.

“We are a group of musicians, singers, instrumentalists and producers who call this borough home. This, our archive is born out of a collective desire to collaborate and galvanise at a time when the world has changed beyond that which we knew it to be before. This is our local response to Covid-19 isolation and distancing. We are among a number of artists who have had our work cancelled, tours pulled and sessions set back. We’re not playing live to you, our audiences, but we know that part of who we are is to provide the backdrop, the soundtrack to people in isolation and again as and when we come back together as a society. This is our raison d'etre and our offer to fill the public spaces with sound, which binds us together”.

Supported by Waltham Forest Council and Arts Council England as part of their Cultural Recovery Fund.

Not For Now
by corto.alto

supported by 8 fans who also own “Forest Sound Archive”

There's something about the composition, this kinda takes that AJE feel and smishes it into something a whole lot more...darker? Not really, it's got lightness, it's definitely got rhythm and it grooves, deeply, right into your soul. Love this album, think it's my favourite release so far this year. Not for now is an absolute earworm...be warned! Dajazzman
