Mythical Records: Odyssey of Rapture, vol 3

Samantha Bouquin - And Blind Shadows Now See

Emmy award-winning composer Michael Price will release Tender Symmetry, his second album with Erased Tapes, on August 31st 2018. The ambitious musical project takes in a series of iconic National Trust locations across England as its inspiration, turning them into unlikely recording spaces. Michael and a host of musicians and collaborators — including soprano Grace Davidson (featured on Max Richter’s Sleep) and Shards (the choir on Nils Frahm’s All Melody) — travelled across the country in pursuit of places far removed from the traditional recording studio to create seven unique and moving pieces.

The diversity of Michael Price’s choices ranges from the ruins of Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire to the Fan Bay WWII shelter, cut deep into the chalk cliffs of Dover. All owned by the National Trust save one, each venue became both the inspiration and the recording studio for Michael Price and his accompaniment of renowned musical ensembles, choirs and soloists. 

While each piece of music is named after the location in which it was created, William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience courses through them as well. Soprano Grace Davidson sings Blake’s poignant words about nature, religion and the industrial revolution on several of the pieces including the astoundingly beautiful album closer Shade Of Dreams, written after the birth of Michael’s daughter. “The final piece, Shade of Dreams, is part of a group of pieces I wrote for the birth of our daughter, Emilie. It, like all the works on the album, takes its text from William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience, in this case, A Cradle Song. As much as Tender Symmetry is about the past, it is firmly about the future, and all our of shared futures.”

Alongside soprano Grace Davidson and Shards choir, other performers include virtuoso cellist Peter Gregson, new music experimentalists Immix Ensemble and Manchester Collective. Tender Symmetry will be available worldwide on LP, CD and digitally, including selected National Trust shops, on August 31st 2018. Michael Price will premiere Tender Symmetry live at London’s Kings Place on September 6th.

Michael Price - Shade Of Dreams

'A moving, engrossing piece' — Clash

Emmy award-winning composer Michael Price shares the beautiful new piece Sandham, taken from his forthcoming album Tender Symmetry released on August 31 with Erased Tapes.

The ambitious musical project takes in a series of iconic National Trust locations across the UK as its inspiration, turning them into unlikely recording spaces. Michael and a host of musicians and collaborators — including soprano Grace Davidson (featured on Max Richter’s Sleep) and Shards (the choir on Nils Frahm’s All Melody) — travelled across the country in pursuit of places far removed from the traditional studio to create seven unique and moving pieces.

"Sandham Memorial Chapel, built in the 1920s, is both a place of reflection and healing, but also a timely reminder, though the extraordinary paintings of Stanley Spencer, of the horrors of war. Stepping out of the fragrant wild-flower garden and into the cool, naturally-lit interior of the chapel was a transportation to a time early in the last century where young men and women were either inflicting terrible injuries on each other, or tenderly caring for those wounds. A place that is both uniquely of the First World War, and utterly contemporary." — Michael Price

The diversity of Michael Price’s choices ranges from the ruins of Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire to the Fan Bay WWII shelter, cut deep into the chalk cliffs of Dover. All owned by the National Trust save one, each venue became both the inspiration and the recording studio for Michael Price and his accompaniment of renowned musical ensembles, choirs and soloists.

"I am interested in where we build our homes in an increasingly virtual world and the spirit of place we feel as we walk our local streets, our schools, temples and public spaces. Taking inspiration from a place, and the stories it told, then going back to that place to record, sometimes in less than ideal conditions, made the two-year adventure much more like shooting a film than making a record.” — Michael Price

Michael Price will premiere Tender Symmetry live at London’s Kings Place on September 6.

Michael Price - Sandham

Multi-instrumentalist, singer and composer Peter Broderick will release a new extended player titled 'Two Balloons' on November 9th with Erased Tapes. Available as a limited edition 10” vinyl and digital download, it features the score for the award-winning animation of the same name, inspired by an early recording of his, plus a 9-minute electronic rework on the B-side titled Techno For Lemurs.

Fairly often we see albums of “Music inspired by the film __”, but less common is a film inspired by music. Such is the case with Two Balloons. Director Mark C. Smith got the idea for his nine-minute stop frame animation film while out at sea, looking at a majestic funnel cloud in the distance. Shortly after he heard a song by Peter Broderick from one of his earliest recordings — 4 Track Songs — and the music struck a chord so strongly, he knew he wanted to make a film to fit the melody. And so began the five-year labour of love that would eventually produce this enchanting little film, currently circulating film festivals around the world and racking up countless awards and accolades including ‘Best Original Music Score’ at the New Renaissance Film Festival in Amsterdam.

Peter begins his European tour tomorrow in Cardiff and will perform at the Erased Tapes Northern Showcase in Wakefield with Rival Consoles and Hatis Noit on Saturday September 15th. Information and tickets: https://www.residentadvisor.net/events/1124408

Rick Hopkinson is a Composer, Pianist, Guitarist and Sound Designer from Halifax, West Yorkshire, in the United Kingdom.
He has played musical instruments for over 25 years after being initially introduced to music by his family as a young child. Rick's first experience of playing musical instruments was through watching his grandparents play the electric Organ in their family home in Halifax.

Rick developed his organ playing and understanding of music; and as he grew older he continued to fall deeper in love with movie soundtrack music. This is still his favorite genre today.
In the mid 90's he started playing the electric guitar after being heavily influenced by bands like Oasis and the UK indie scene. In 1999 Rick played the guitar and piano in a Halifax based rock and roll band called Kubrick. The band played a large number of performances around the north of England over the course of 10 years. Kubrick went on to win the Pulse radio: Party In The Park competition 2004. As a result the band opened the festival in front of approximately 15,000 people at Myrtle Park, Bingley in West Yorkshire.

After leaving Kubrick and taking a 5 year break from music; Rick embraced the opportunity to start working on his own compositions in post-classical music. He quickly found a hunger to write his own instrumental compositions while on his lunch break at his place of full time work.

Rick's musical work has included writing and recording music for Calderdale College's 'Open Space' acting performance theatre. He has played live music for 'Saltaire Shakespeare's: Shakespeare In The Park'.

Rick has collaborated with students from 'The Northern Film School' based in Leeds Beckett University, where he composed music for synchronizing with their projects in film and animation.
He continues to produce music for Film.

Rick has now started working on writing and recording music for his first EP / Album.
