wonderful delicate flow. great strings and piano as always. Loved the artistic video!

some of my recent favorites from this incredibly talented community
(I greatly enjoy many beat driven tracks but I wanted to keep this theme)

Emotive and Evocative

This composition was inspired by a series of photographs taken by Helena Whitten at an abandoned hotel, crumbling into neglect.

The strange thing about the cover picture is that I overlooked it many many times when scanning through Helena's work, almost as if it had concealed itself amidst the other images. When I did chance upon it however, the power of the image really resonated with me.

The character crouched behind the door lingers in the mind long after you have stopped looking at the photograph. Who is she? Why is she there? Who is she hiding from? are all questions that remain unanswered but inspire an endless chain of possible narratives.

We also commissioned a truly amazing video by Stefania Buzatu. She specialises in the infinite zoom technique and and she deployed this with Helena's photos to remarkable effect.

Biteki includes loops from Japanese female electronica artist Cokiyu. I have been a big fan of Cokiyu ever since her debut album “Mirror Flake” in 2007. Her soft dreamy electronica and delicate sweet vocals have always captivated me.

Blink Twice-
My previous project from mid 1990s through 2003. I released numerous cassettes and 4 CDs often described as "dark ambient industrial". Blink Twice is still alive and is now a place for my darker, more obscure and aggressive work. The line is sometimes blurred. https://soundcloud.com/blink-twice-archival

Richard Laurence is a composer of neoclassical and ambient piano music with a colourful background in post-rock and electronic studio projects.

Working under the name, ‘Gifts From Crows’, Laurence released his debut album, “Holding a Thought Forever”, in February 2021, a hauntingly beautiful collection of piano instrumentals augmented with samples, electronics and string arrangements. 

This was followed by a solo piano composition, ‘A Resolution’ which was released on Piano Day 2021 and also the E.P. ‘Northern Film Orchestra Sessions Vol. I’ which featured 3 tracks from the album arranged for a 20 piece ensemble recorded at Stoller Hall in Manchester.

The 2nd Gifts From Crows album, ‘Stories in Slow Light’ is a collaboration between composer Richard Laurence and photographer Helena Whitten. The project consists of 12 compositions all inspired by and composed around the themes depicted in Helena’s photographs. The album, along with 4 accompanying videos will be released progressively between now and February 2022.

The music of Gifts From Crows has been featured in Headphone Commute, Stationary Travels, York Calling, Music Dances When You Sleep and CutCommon Magazine. It has also been played on Classic FM, Scala Radio, Jorvik Radio and featured on the official Spotify playlist, Classical New Releases.
