Recessional is a music project based out of the Washington D.C metropolitan area.

The music is yearning. The music is longing. The music is wanting.

Thank you.

I'm Chris Fordham, a 32 year old multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and songwriter. I'm currently writing and recording my own songs and performing the occasional gig around the county and further afield. Alongside my songwriting I also produce experimental and instrumental music under the name 'The Silent Committee' (http://bit.ly/aOCiKw). 

In August 2009 I released my debut ep as a free download through BFW Recordings - it remains a free download from their website (http://bfwrecordings.com/releases/ChrisFordham-TookAWalk.php)

I am currently in the later stages of completing a demo full length album under the name Violet's Gone.

Violet's Gone is a Northampton based music project fronted by Chris Fordham. Chris had been a stalwart of the Northamptonshire music scene and could often be found playing bass or guitar with a number of outfits - most notably: The Snakeman 3 and Enki, both of which he played bass guitar, and also To Bury A Ghost with whom he played guitar.

He had a brief spell of releasing solo music under his own name via BFW Recordings, and also performed and released music as an instrumental act called The Silent Committee. The decision to adopt a new band name has given Chris an opportunity to start almost from scratch and removes a need to try and do everything alone. Chris still performs most of the music himself but the possibility for collaborations in the future are open. It is quite possible the songs may develop into a live emobiment also.

The debut album, simply titled 'Violet's Gone', is due for self-release on July 3rd 2018 via Bandcamp.

On the lookout for alternative/indie/folk/lo-fi/acoustic artists that play with raw emotion.
