PORTICO QUARTET

Portico Quartet’s quietly-brilliant fusion of jazz, world, electronica (and more) has landed them fans across the world, at least three record deals and a Mercury Music Prize nomination. It’s not been an easy ride, but with a new album just out (and another on the way), it’s time to pause, reflect and, well, hang…

Portico Quartet have enjoyed – and endured – quite a history. They have been nominated for a Mercury Music Prize, had at least three record deals (including Ninja Tune and Real World), a change in name, a change in line-up (actually more than one), a change in musical styles and indeed, really, a total change in band. Look, it’s complicated, right? The band initially hit world – or at least Mercury – wide success with their world/jazz/ ambient sound, often based around a hang (percussion instrument). When hang player Nick Mulvey left, the band changed style and dropped the ‘Quartet’ bit of their name, but later returned both name and sound (with an additional band member and sampling). Now the band comprises founders Duncan Bellamy and Jack Wyllie, and they have just released the album Terrain, a three-part suite ‘drawing on American minimalism and ambient’. Jack Wyllie attempts to explain all

1 Tell us how you got into music production in the first place?

Jack Wyllie: “I started playing the flute and the piano when I was about seven, and started playing saxophone and guitar when I was about 14. Then I played in a handful of bands at school; I went to university but kept playing music with friends. We formed Portico Quartet in 2009. We were actually flatmates first and we started busking and travelled around Europe. I also started playing with Szun Waves in 2016, a trio more focused on improv, and worked with Paradise Cinema, with Khadim Mbaye and Tons Sambe, after spending a year in Senegal in 2019.”

Moog Minimoog
It is incredibly fitting that the very first synth for inspection and consideration in our battle of the platforms is arguably the most famous and desired of all monosynths. The Minimoog might not require introduction, but it is certainly worth considering why it garners the reputation that it does, while continuing to be a highly-inspirational object of desire for studio musicians, performers and enthusiasts alike. Enter the legend…
ARP Odyssey v GForce Oddity v ARP Odyssei
Our second mono to take on its equivalent desktop and iOS software is the ‘other’ 70s classic, the ARP Odyssey. This not only went toe to toe with the Minimoog in that decade, but featured in many a synth pop classic (thanks to just one man), and its forefathers even took on a bunch of aliens, twice… and won!
Roland SH-101
In the 1980s, the price of synthesisers started to plummet (albeit from a fairly astronomical height). One of the first and definitely the most famous – and one you could also wear – was produced by one of the big Japanese names cashing in on the synth craze, and became one of the most iconic monos ever. Enter the Roland SH-101…
