This is the audio from our live improvisation filmed 17th March 2016: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXXAz_6pxfQ&feature=youtu.be . The audio has been taken from the video and improved for listening. Faith Brackenbury plays Violin and Joel Pike plays Guitar and Piano. It is completely improvised and live in one take with no rehearsal beforehand. It's also called "If We Play -variation" as it shares the same key and a small theme from that track appears somewhere in the improv. If We Play is a track from the forth coming 3rd album from Tiny Leaves. Thank you for listening!

Original Soundtrack to the film "Salero"
Composed & Orchestrated by Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie.
Recorded in Budapest @ Magyar Hungarian National Radio
Mixed with Francesco Donadello @ Vox-Ton in Berlin

Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie, the creative force behind A Winged Victory For The Sullen and Stars Of The Lid, is to officially release his score for the motion picture ‘Salero’ on November 11th.
Having channelled some of the most iconic drift music of our time through A Winged Victory For The Sullen and Stars of the Lid, 2016 has already seen Erased Tapes luminary Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie provide original scores for a number of feature films including Jalil Lespert’s ‘Iris’ and ‘The Yellow Birds’ by Alexandre Moors.
It’s on ‘Salero’ however, that we see Wiltzie weave some of his finest work and deliver an expertly distilled accompaniment to director Mike Plunkett’s sprawling, uncompromising visuals. Set in Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat, the narrative follows the region’s ‘Saleros’ – those who have for generations gathered salt and earned enough to somehow carve out an existence in such a barren landscape. It’s with the discovery of huge Lithium reserves – a mineral used frequently throughout the tech industry – under the scorched earth that acts as a catalyst for exploitation of the environment and its people; holding a microscope to the drastic effect industrialisation has on local culture and tradition.
Recording took place in Adam’s Belgium-based studio for the guitars, percussion and small string ensemble tracking. Hungary was chosen for the final large string orchestra recordings at Magyar Radio Studio #22 with the Budapest Art Orchestra.

A Winged Victory For The Sullen, the otherworldly collaboration between Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie and Dustin O’Halloran, commence the New Year with their third full-length titled Iris – available worldwide via Erased Tapes on January 13th 2017.

Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie and Dustin O'Halloran first met the director Jalil Lespert after he had discovered A Winged Victory For The Sullen on a music search online. After listening to their music, he immediately knew: "it was the sound of my new film". With an excellent cast of France’s finest actors Romain Duris, Charlotte Le Bon, and the director himself, plus a script filled with tension, sexuality and darkness, they knew there was a lot of musical territory to mine. It was agreed that they wanted to explore more analogue electronique experiments as well as working with a large string ensemble, to create something that felt very modern and still cinematic.

“Despite A Winged Victory For The Sullen being associated with film score type music, trying to survive the process of creating the modern film score is not for people with fragile egos. It requires those who are the most responsive to change. The director and the film presented a new set of challenges, so we decided to stop thinking about cinema as an object, and moved closer to using the film’s images as triggers for experiences. The more we were able to let go, and see the music as something that happens, like a process – not a quality, the more we were able to reach a place that sounded like us. It was as if we were making our first record all over again, except being filtered through another language littered with dead metaphors”, the duo elaborate.

The recording sessions began with their long time sound collaborator Francesco Donadello in the form of some modular synth sessions in Berlin. Dustin and Adam began working from the script in their own studios, and after filming commenced they continued to create music that could be used for first edits of the film – each day getting new scenes that triggered ideas that would become the base of the film score. Over the course of the next few months the two slowly crafted the music with weekly discussion from their studio to the editing room. The final sessions to what is now the score of Iris were recorded with a 40-piece string orchestra at Magyar Radio in Budapest.

Upon label founder Robert Raths' request the over sixty minutes of material were then edited down to a concise album listen at forty-one minutes with a physical release set for January 13, 2017. The digital bonus track edition includes two solo pieces by Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie entitled The Endless Battle Of The Maudlin Ballade Part 2 and The Endless Battle Of The Maudlin Ballade Part 3, as well as tracks by Petite Noir, dOP, DJ Pone and The Shoes which feature in the film. The artwork was created by Berlin based illustrator Stephanie F. Scholz who also created the iconic cover for Nils Frahm's Music for The Motion Picture Victoria.

A Winged Victory For The Sullen - Galerie

Poppy Ackroyd turned heads in the neo-classical world with her previous works Escapement and Feathers, as well as her involvement in Hidden Orchestra (Tru Thoughts). Advocated by giants of the genre, Hauschka and Nils Frahm, the unique musician has returned, freshly signed to Bjork’s label One Little Indian Records, with a mini-album, Sketches, to be released on 4th August 2017.

We asked Equador and David O' Dowda to rework Tiny Leaves - You'll be Okay which was originally released by Pegdoll for Piano Day 2017.

Equador are Henry Binns (Zero 7) and Bo Bruce who with their recent album Bones of Man tasted success with a no 1 on the iTunes UK electronic chart as well as recent appearances on CBS 'Elementary', MTV Catfish and NFL 2016. David O’Dowda is an Irish composer and multi-instrumentalist living in Manchester. He has composed music and songs that have been used worldwide on various films, television promos, programs and advertising including Homelands, The Walking Dead, ‘Netflix Originals’ ‘Hot Girls Wanted’ to name a few.

The infectious Equador sound entices musical osmosis alongside the original composition. Bo Bruce's reflective words and ability to find strength of melody syncs perfectly with Henry Binns' subtle production, increasing perceptual fluency with each Equador release.

David O'Dowda lays down a raw retrospective on the plight of refugees, instilling hope, whilst amplifying the need to acknowledge other humans. An emotive subject matter draws the listener in, highlighting the lyrical content and vocal beauty.

As with the original recordings 'You'll Be Okay Reworked' might not save the world but it will evoke nostalgia for the future.

Tiny Leaves recommences his musical journey with Pegdoll in October 2017 delivering his next album 'Notes on Belonging'.

Tiny Leaves is the music of Joel Nathaniel Pike. He has developed his sound as a solo artist alongside years of writing and performing in bands. He describes his music as being rooted in narrative, but is often surprised at the undefinable end result. His music has a delicate, cinematic quality that brings a quiet hope.
