this is gorgeous - giving Brian Eno a run for his money in that I can sit and listen or have it in the background, reminding me that the world carries on when I'm in admin mode haha! xxx

This piece was composed by Quinta, Ed Dowie and Chris Reed for a filmed adaptation of Jorge Luis Borges' beautiful story, Circular Ruins.

Lake Avernus II- For Piano Trio

Composition for solo violin and electronics featuring the brilliant https://soundcloud.com/madamceski on violin. 

This performance was recorded live in the  Victoria Rooms, Bristol May 2016.

Huge thanks to Fran - www.francescasimmons.com
And Ed Dowie for MAX support - http://eddowie.co.uk

This semi-improvised performance piece relies on the interplay between the acoustic and electronic elements. Francesca is given some notated cues, but is able to interpret them as she chooses and to improvise freely throughout. Chris samples the highlighted parts of the score but beyond that is free to sample and manipulate the audio as he chooses. The results are down to decisions made in the moment by the performers. There is no set duration and repeat performances of the piece could, and should be very different.

Neighbourhood Dogs Going Berserk as Air Balloons Pass Overhead - July 2018

from 'Emitter' [CD|2LP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records · den313
available on all formats at http://denovali.com/tpsq

Scheduled for release in March 2019 via Denovali Records, Emitter is the third release by UK based instrumental ensemble The Pirate Ship Quintet. This follows their highly acclaimed 2007 self-titled debut EP and 2012’s full length, Rope for No Hopers. 
 
Once again taking their favoured DIY approach, the album was recorded and mixed by the band, giving them complete control over the record’s direction and nuance. Emitter was mastered in the US by renowned musician and engineer James Plotkin, who has also worked with the likes of ISIS, Earth and Sunn O))). 
 
The album features a number of collaborators including award winning modern classical composer Emily Hall (Bedroom Community) adding the voices of her curated choir to ‘Companion’ and ‘Wreath’. Further vocal performances come from soloists Blythe Pepino (Vaults/Mesadorm) and award-winning singer-songwriter Emily Barker. 
The title track ‘Emitter’ showcases celebrated saxophonist Andrew Hayes (Run Logan Run/Tezeta), whose bright jazz flourishes and rending wails add a deeply plaintive touch. The band’s cellist Sandy Bartai (London Symphony Orchestra and BBC National Orchestra of Wales) delivers the sombre laments that are the calling-card of The Pirate Ship Quintet. 
 
Emitter is the band’s most ambitious release to date, shying away from traditional songwriting paradigms and encouraging the music to progress into more eclectic spaces. This has allowed the band to explore their individual tastes and influences. The album flows organically between smaller, tightly-focused pieces and longer, more expansive suites which together form a cohesive soundscape. 
 
The Pirate Ship Quintet’s core line-up consists of Sandy Bartai (cello), Alphie Matthews (guitar), Jonathan Sturgess (drums), Jonathan Ziapour (bass) and Alex Hobbis (guitar).
