Second in a series of serene minimalist explorations by these
members of State River Widening. David Sheppard is also playing
for Wisdom of Harry.
These sounds have been created only by using analogue
instruments such as electric piano, hammond organ, flute,
zither etc and haven't been digitally edited in any way.
So here we see the results; spherical, breathing, atmospheric
sound collages.
"Rocket Girl records releases the second in a series of 12"
vinyl mini-albums by Keiron Phelan and David Sheppard. Like its
predecessor, '2' is an assemblage of electro-acoustic
atmospheres and cinematic soundscapes which range from the
dreamily expansive grasslands (5 flutes, 5 zithers, nothing
else) to the elegiac torrent (electric pianos, synthesizers,
violas) and neo-jazz how many hands (electric flute, fender
rhodes, treated brass). As usual the duo play all the
instruments (with the exception of Dave Johnson's eloquent
violas) and the record was captured and balanced by
semi-legendary sound engineer Colin Peter at the Clandestine
Keep Calm Studio in West London. The Phelan / Sheppard project
is just one myriad of musical outlets which the protean pair
are currently servicing. Both are more often to be found
fronting the acclaimed State River Widening, while Sheppard
also plies his trade with Pete Astor in Ellis Island Sound and,
sporadically, the Wisdom of Harry. Sheppard, Astor and Phelan
are also working together on another trajectory in the
yet-to-be-unveiled." - insound.com
