Glass Modern

Glass Modern is a London independent record label that has been making waves in the music industry since its inception in 1981. Originally known as Glass Records (2), the label played a pivotal role during the vibrant 1980s music scene and continued to operate until 1990.
After a brief hiatus, Glass Records made a triumphant return in 2015 under the name Glass Redux. This resurrection brought new life to the label, allowing it to once again showcase its passion for groundbreaking music.
In 2018, Glass Modern was launched as an imprint of Glass Redux. With this exciting development, the label expanded its roster and continued to push boundaries within the industry. Known for their commitment to artistic integrity and innovation, *Glass Modern* has become synonymous with quality music that challenges conventions.

Much anticipated and final studio album by Future Pilot AKA, the brainchild of Indo-Caledonian bassist / bandleader Sushil K Dade. 9 years in the making this album was not originally intended to be released via the conventional format of an album release. Initially the individual recordings were hidden in the elements by the artist (shorelines / hills / wind farms / islands and lochs) as part of a #soniktreasurehunt sound / research project across Scotland. After all the hidden tracks were discovered by music fans via clues / co-ordinates shared on social media by the artist, Dade decided to 'curate' a one-off edition of these recordings in the format of a picnic hamper as a conclusion to the #soniktreasurehunt. This was discovered at a bus-stop near Faslane Nuclear base. After several years since the discovery of the 'one-off edition' Glass Modern are thrilled to bring together these tracks and finally present these in the classic format of 'the album'. Future Pilot AKA music is highly collaborative and Dade’s previous recordings have featured contributions from a range of artists including Philip Glass, Damo Suzuki, Mikey Dread, The Pastels, The Go-Betweens. Featured on Orkestra Digitalis are contributions from Soft Machine legend Robert Wyatt (he posted Dade a cassette of his vocals lines), Ethiopian jazz master Mulatu Astatke (making his vocal debut on a tribute to Charles Mingus), Brian Eno collaborator Leo Abrahams, Canadian singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith, Scottish artists Emma Pollock (Delgados), R M Hubbert, Craig Armstrong and Turner Prize Award Winning Artist Martin Boyce who meditates on a quote from an Orange Juice classic.
