Lee Gamble

Lost And Sound

Imagine a world where club beats meet experimental sounds, where ancient echoes mingle with modern AI voices. That's the universe inhabited by our guest, Lee Gamble. Paul sits down with Lee to discuss his latest album, Models, released on the hugely influential Hyperdub Records. Not only do we delve into the influences that shaped this remarkable piece of work, but we also unpack how personal loss and the global pandemic have left indelible marks on Lee's creative process.

Lee's unique narrative is punctuated by the influence of Birmingham's drum and bass and techno history, and his journey as a DJ navigating the complexities of self-identity. We reflect on the intersections of technology, art, and emotion, examining how cutting-edge AI can both enhance and evoke a sense of longing within music. Lee also shares his insightful perspective on the powerful impact personal experiences and social class have on an artist's self-perception and creativity.
