Concert works

Air Unfolds by Ed Scolding, performed by Ayre Flutes conducted by Ed Scolding.

Recorded October 2013 in Blackheath, London.

"My idea writing the piece was of a long melody, continuously unfolding and moving. That melody is washed across the ensemble so that each player may only play a fragment at a time, but those fragments combine and fold in to one continuous melody."

About the piece: 
"A point of energy is drawn across the instrument. It swings between different surfaces, waxes and wanes, gathering and bursting energy."

Drawing

Thrown: into a busy space full of reflective surfaces, bouncing and echoing the sounds around, sometimes splitting them up into differently echoing parts. The piece takes inspiration from ‘delay’ effects, where a set of gradually changing repetitions or echoes can be created. At times a more sustained melody emerges from the passing echoes, connecting and driving them forward. 

Commissioned by Sinfonia Newydd.

For chamber orchestra: Fl, Ob, Cl (Bb), Bsn - Hn, Sax (tnr), Tpt - Vibes - Strings 2.2.2.2.1

'Find Sound' is the debut record from Shards, a London based vocal group led by singer, composer and producer Kieran Brunt. Combining voices, synths and percussion, Find Sound is an astonishing exploration of the human voice; using the concepts of sound and light as simple metaphors for gaining understanding. The album’s pieces are intended to be miniature sonic paintings, with each adding to an overall picture of the emotional confusion of early adulthood: the uncertainty, the excitement, the terror and relief.

After collaborating with Terry Riley in 2016, Brunt was asked by the Barbican to form a choral group for Nils Frahm’s Possibly Colliding festival that summer. Following the success of the shows, Frahm invited Brunt to join him in Berlin to collaborate on choral arrangements for his recent album 'All Melody'. Shards have since gone on to collaborate with other notable artists, including Michael Price on his recent LP 'Tender Symmetry'.

Each of the singers in Shards brings a very distinctive musical personality to the group, something which Brunt was eager to emphasise on their debut record. Rather than aiming for a seamless blend or absolute precision when recording, the differences between voices has been intentionally highlighted — celebrating their unique textures and inviting the listener to hear their minutest details up-close.

"The group ended up consisting almost entirely of friends and friends-of-friends. I also tried my best to ask people who weren’t just singers, but who do have other projects and musical interests. As such, we have people in the group who are also composers, instrumentalists, folk musicians and teachers. It’s a vibrant mix, and I’m constantly discovering new things about them the more we make music together.” — Kieran Brunt

Shards is Kieran Brunt, Lucy Cronin, Sarah Latto, Bethany Horak-Hallett, Kate Huggett, Chris Huggon, Jack Lawrence-Jones, Rose Martin, Augustus Perkins Ray, Oli Martin-Smith, Josephine Stephenson and Héloïse Werner.
