Piero Peluche: rhythm guitar, solo guitar, sitar guitar, electric piano, electric bass, drums, music, mix & master
electricpaul: vocals, nosy guitar & lyrics


A bit of a twist in the plot here. It was the inimitable Piero Peluche who at first composed the instrumental music. Then electricpaul was challenged with coming up with lyrics and devising a vocal melody. It was Earth Day last and a friend and collaborator suggested that the song might be about Gaëa whilst the inimitable Piero Peluche was looking for a story involving imprudent high jinks of youth, which presented a dilemma. There's some nosy guitar in there as well for good measure.


SCRATCH SCRATCH

I'm gliding over the seas
Over mountain tops  
Turbulance beneath  

Well, You pick it up
And you pack it out
You bring it down
Then you wrap it up

I'm driving along valleys
Levees and riverbeds
Sand and rocky beach  

Yeah, You take it out
And you pack it down
They comes along
and take the lot right out

Winding road rounds  the bend
Where the air is arid and dry
Behold the promised land 

Well, you find a spot
And you line right up
pass in hand
Through the gates and then …

Sun sets to the east
Then the lights come up
And the show begins
 
Got a glass in hand
time to raise it up
Ladies twirl
'round and around

Trudging around in the trees
Can't see the forest for
all of the leaves

You take a break
So to peer about
Ridges, peaks
Alpine rivines 

Winding road rounds  the bend
Where the air is arid and dry
Behold the promised land

You gather up 
And you pack it out
You hike on down
What it's all about

It's never been like this in the home
And I feel that the gist here has gone
The truth is always hidden somewhere around
Goin' to another town

Yeah
Uh-huh

You line 'em up
And then you shoot 'em down
You pick 'em up
And then you knock 'em out
You rock on up
And then you break it down
You light it up
And then you put it out

Scratch Scratch - Nabucco Dinosaur

This is a two and a half minute extract from a much longer piece intended for live performance.

"Hullo, Michael," I said.

'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.
