Dan Berridge releases æIn FiniteÆ, the third album from his
critically acclaimed Broadway Project on Grand Central Records in
June 2005.
An all-out composer, Berridge has scored numerous award winning
short films and completed commissions for Channel 4 and the BBC.
Inspired by the love of avant-garde jazz, hip hop breaks and the
cinema aesthetic, the Broadway Project sound is naturally epic. Its
soul penetrating grooves are gripped by a deep emotional charge and
indeed, the project did initially only take form as something of a
creative outlet for DanÆs recovery from ME/chronic fatigue
syndrome.
A blessing in disguise perhaps, as within a two years Broadway
Project had numerous EPs out on LondonÆs Memphis Industries label,
followed by two albums: æCompassionÆ (ôa masterpiece of electronic
melancholyö - NME) and æThe VesselÆ (ôDan Berridge is one of our
generationÆs finest leftfield musical talentsö - I-DJ).
Fulfilling his ultimate aim of translating Broadway Project into a
stage performance, Berridge retains the grand scale of his work
while delivering a contemporary and unique performance: beats and
piano led, with the free jazz aesthetic interwoven throughout. One
man and his laptop, this is not. Accompaniment includes some of the
UKÆs best young jazz musicians, such as Perrier Award winning
Matthew Bourne on piano and Riaan Vosloo on double bass, both of
whom have taken time out from their own electric jazz outfit, the
Electric Dr M, to play on æIn FiniteÆ.
Of æIn FiniteÆ Dan says ôItÆs my third album, but at the same time
my first. IÆve found a sound that IÆve been looking foràsomething
that is of its time, yet timelessö. Taking the heavy crack of
cutting edge hip hop production techniques, he whips his earthy
jazz and classical influences into an emotionally compelling
frenzy. Ethereal melancholic sounds will seep into your blood, grab
your inner core and pin you down whilst simultaneously evoking an
overwhelming feeling of breaking free and escaping (a number of
tracks were inspired by travels through Eastern Europe). Obsessive,
emotive and clever - this is a labour of love like no other.
Prepare to be blown away.
