The original soundtrack for Sean Reynard's ad for Scarred for Life 2. He created a spoof public information film inspired by the film Threads, and wanted a suitable wobbly aged synth soundtrack. To make it sound of its time I used no reverb and mixed in mono.

The World We were Promised

Where is the train you are on headed? To a fun place? To a nostalgic place?

This EP is based on field recordings I made on my way to fun and nostalgic places. These are familiar field recordings, but my mood was so uplifting that they turned out to be beautiful.

Ghost Funk

Music of a lost future. Since 2010.

Independent musician. Releases on vinyl. Plays live. Remixes sometimes.

Soundtracks for Rook Films, the BBC and Sean Reynard.

All music including drum patterns, loops and sound design written and created entirely from scratch using analogue and digital hardware synths, drum machines, tape bouncing, self-sampling and a lot of processing. I do not use any sample library loops, sample packs, sounds or effects etc.

All music written and produced by Chris Sharp.

Nice things:

'Brilliant! Concretism is the perfect accompaniment to Scarfolk'
- Richard Littler, Creator of Scarfolk

'Enjoyable well-executed stuff.'
- Simon Reynolds, Retromania

'[Concretism is] one of the most uncompromising godfathers of electronically-fashioned conceptualism from the last half-decade or so.' - Adrian, Concrete Islands

'[For Concrete and Country] is brimful of Sharp's signature sound. The attention to detail, both in terms of music and as an artefact, is the sort of thing that should see you lot in an orderly queue.'
- Electronic Sound Magazine

'How f*cking great is Concretism? An absolute masterclass in electronic music.' - A Farewell to Hexes

'a fackin' synth legend' - Lone Bison
