Tee and Rose were drawn together by a love of epic orchestral arrangements, experimental electronic music and mellow jazz. The UK/Australia-based duet share ideas and fragments of half-composed songs, and enjoy the freedom to record pieces never intended to be performed live, instead indulging in loops and layering to create a rich new soundscape.

‘Almost War' (2017) traverses fresh musical territory for Rosie Tee and Bryony Rose. With subtle bass grooves and jazz sensibilities, their latest release incites a delicate mix of melancholy and exasperation which acknowledges current global affairs. The duet’s signature strings, bold marimba and restrained yet self-assured vocals forge a cinematic soundscape which plays witness to Tee and Rose as innovative young composers.

The single ‘This Is For You’ (2016) was created layering electronic percussion and synth with the acoustic elements of Rose’s violin and Tee’s piano writing. With collaborative lyrics that outline life’s difficult decisions the track resulted in a sort of selfish, melancholic anthem. The single was released with an official music video, radio edit and remix by Mashdown.

‘Infinite Home EP’ (2015) is a collection of three songs exploring love, regret, and wonder, falling somewhere between moody ballads and ambient poetry. The tracks ‘Skin’, ‘Electricity’ and ‘Circles’ pose more meaningful questions than they answer, and leave listeners with a taste of future music to come.

I play many different instruments, and I love music!

Puro Jekuto is Dan Cippico & Rosie Tunley. An electronic duo from Birmingham, UK.

Hello,

And welcome to my little corner of the internet. This is where I place the music that is good enough for other people to listen to, and to buy if they so wish. I play electric, acoustic, lap steel, and resonator guitars, fretted and fretless bass, banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, ukulele, and some accordion and concertina. Theremin, Harmonica and Low Whistles also sometimes show their faces.

My influences, as a guitarist range from Eric Clapton, Ry Cooder, Chris Rea, Bonnie Raitt, Duanne Allman, Mark Knopfler, Eric Johnson, Derek Trucks, Jerry Douglas, and many others, whilst as a Bassist is it Jaco Pastorius and Victor Wotton, on Banjo it is Earl Scruggs, Bela Fleck and Gabrielle the Frog from Bagpuss, and anyone else with a decent tune and song. I am enjoying discovering new sounds and people on Soundcloud, and if you like one of my tracks, please let me know, as I plan to leave comments on some of the tracks I listen to. My music is also available on Bandcamp at: https://benmacnair.bandcamp.com/follow_me

Currently Writing and recording a Demo EP.

The Offbeat is a four-piece of fresh alternative pop - four vocals, tight percussive rhythms, violin and skilled acoustic guitar. The 2012 release of the debut album We Are The Offbeat marked the band’s progression into more experimental, alternative music. Now the use of a loop pedal, stompbox and synth onstage give the performance a marked, distinctive feel. The band’s nostalgic songs, ‘sun-filled’ tunes and fresh vitality create a unique show which has been enjoyed by audiences across the UK. This unique group has received nationwide recognition in being shortlisted for the PRS for Music Songwriting and Composition Awards, in association with the BRITS, and their music has been described as ‘truly heart-warming and uplifting.’ Radio appearances and street performances also demonstrate the band’s open approach to music-making.  The Offbeat will be appearing in London and other major UK cities in Winter 2013 following the launch of their upcoming EP.
