Paying homage to soundtracks of Italian cinema and the compositions of Ennio Morricone, Piero Umiliani and Alessandro Alessandroni, Maston envisioned Tulip as a continuation of their work.

Speaking on Tulips’ evolution, Maston explains, “I was discovering a lot of library music for the first time … that’s when I began focusing more on weaving melodic themes throughout the record to make it function more like a soundtrack.”

Tulips was recorded between 2015 and 2017 in a small studio in a village called Zwaag in Holland, and originally released in late 2017 on Maston’s own Phonoscop imprint.

It follows Be With’s reissue of Sass’ 1982 12″ ‘Much Too Much’, this April.
