Releasenotes:
"No click tracks, no headphones, and no film. Just the spontaneity of
performance and the sound of musicians hearing, connecting and responding."
"Entanglement", the debut album by Michael Price fulfils his long-term desire to
explore new musical territories, featuring Michael on the piano, with the
addition of cello, soprano voice, string orchestra, modular synth, tape effects
and electronics.
Throughout the record you will hear street sounds from 'Budapest' captured and
processed on Michael's mobile phone, as well as chamber music recorded direct to
tape with vintage microphones in single takes. Album track "The Attachment" was
partly recorded onto a 1940s magnetic disc recorder, which immediately connected
the piece back to a pre-digital musical age.
The cello and soprano vocal parts throughout the album were written specifically
and directly for cellist Peter Gregson and vocalist Ashley Knight who features
on tracks "Maitri" and "The Uncertainly Principle". The lyrics for both songs
are Japanese poetry sung in English, dealing with age, loss and the inevitable
fading of beauty.
"Entanglement" was written over a period of two years on paper and by hand with
Michael exploring oldest and newest technology at Abbey Road Studios and Snap
Studios in London, before most of the recording and mixing took place at Vox-Ton
in Berlin.
"I wanted to make an album that sounded like a dark, Berlin record store
discovery from the 30s. Something that had timeless emotive power, and
pre-digital rawness. Something that I hope would make a deeper connection in
superficially networked times. I think there is a duty for artists to be honest,
and vulnerable. Because then there is a possibility of real connection.
Entanglement is both honest and vulnerable and to go through the two year
process of writing, refining and recording an album has been more intense and
more beautiful than I could have possibly imagined." - Michael Price
