Following his memorable contribution to The Big Chill's
'Enchanted 01' compilation comes Pete Lawrence's first
solo release.
Championed pre-release by the likes of Laurent Garnier,
Charles Webster, Pete Herbert, Tom Middleton, Chris
Coco, Lol Hammond and Phil Mison, the debut EP features
three cinematic compositions by the Big Chill founder,
as well as Laura B's acclaimed mix of Pete's 'Go
Forward', dubbed as "a future chill out classic" by
Mison.s
Spanning wide-screen textures, systems music and pure
emotion, this is deeply felt and finely crafted
chill-out music of the highest quality.
"If you've heard of The Big Chill, then you'll have
heard of Pete Lawrence. Chilled by Nature is Pete
Lawrence releasing this four-track EP on his loved Big
Chill Recordings. Kicking off with newly signed
label-mate Laura B's mix of 'Go Forward', the 'Solar
Powered' EP immediately makes its mark with some fresh
sounds. 'Cumulus' follows a more ambient direction - a
languid pool of layered synths and resonant vocal
effects over bouncing deep bass. 'The Unfolding' is an
evocative piece of modern soul music, with 'Funky Pie'
being a taster of sounds to come. Conclusion: exciting
and adventurous chilled tunes." - DJ Magazine
"Pete Lawrence is Chilled by Nature. He has also been
extremely busy these last few years. As well as putting
on successful Big Chill events at home and abroad, he
has DJ'd around the globe, from Siberia to Brazil, the
Hebrides to Ibiza, all the while crafting The Big
Chill's own label sound.
Described by Time Out as the 'chief eskimo of Kingdom
Chill', Lawrence has played a formative role in the
recent chill-out explosion. Here is a man who is
passionate about music, and about sharing such passion.
After a winter devoted to bedroom studio sessions Big
Chill co-founder Lawrence has at last unleashed his
debut solo release, a four tracker under the artist
moniker 'Chilled By Nature'. The EP expands on and
develops the musical and emotional themes first explored
on his debut production 'Green Shade' which featured on
'The Big Chill's Enchanted 01' collection in 1999. The
track illustrated a love of cinematic orchestral
textures drawn from components of musical traditions and
forged ahead in new directions, perhaps best described
as a new kind of electronic chamber music.
Folk, classical, jazz, electronic, ambient, lounge -
these are all sounds that Lawrence has spent a lifetime
tirelessly soaking up. A diverse panoply of musicians
have been instrumental in shaping his musical direction
over the years: Pat Metheny, Andreas Vollenweider, Brian
Eno, Michael Mantler, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, The Beach
Boys, John Barry, Faure, Satie, Zappa, and more recently
the new breed of Zero 7, Cinematic Orchestra, Hint, Four
Tet and Ulrich Schnauss to name but a few. Lawrence
shares with these artists a wide-screen palate of
sounds, a desire to create 'big' music and a delight in
the journey to the end destination.
The 'Solar Powered EP' is, in its own right, a journey
of discovery and a celebration of life.
Kicking off with Laura B's remix of Pete's epic 'Go
Forward', the EP strikes an immediate impression.
Haunting harp strings counterpointed by
orchestral backing gives way to a middle section of
gorgeously dubbed piano, all underpinned by a truly
funky backbeat. As 'Go Forward' challenges and seduces,
Lawrence's juxtaposition of influences becomes clear.
'Cumulus' follows a more ambient direction. A languid
pool of layered synths and resonant vocal effects over a
bouncing deep bass it is 'Chilled By Nature' at its
deepest, a perfect soundtrack to a meditative sunset.
Simplicity is its key and in this instance, less is more
-for the track was completed in under two hours.
'The Unfolding' is an evocative piece of modern soul
music, watching a past story unfold from the vantage
point of the present, as it rolls out with a mid-paced
laissez-faire nonchalance. This deeply layered
instrumental tune interweaves abundant melody and
harmony, infiltrating many levels of the heart and soul.
It is complex and intense in its composition, yet
strikingly simple in its message: there is no going
back. The use of a choir adds a suitably spiritual
backdrop.
'Funky Pie (Reheat)' is a taster of what's to come from
Chilled By Nature. Recalling Steve Reich's 'systems
music' approach to repetition, this keyboard,
afro-guitar,
trumpet led track again belies Pete's diversity of
interests. No bass and drums, no shortage of motion.
'Chilled By Nature' is progression. Already championed
pre-release by the likes of Tom Middleton, Chris Coco,
Phil Mison and Lol Hammond, the EP is set to become a
soundtrack to the summer.
Pete Lawrence: festival organiser, chilled visionary,
composer, arranger and mood enhancer, has created
something unusual with this first EP. Hope, optimism,
humour and contemplation are all wrapped up in exciting
and adventurous chilled tunes. Music of quiet beauty."
"Big Chill co-founder Pete Lawrence has been immersed in
music all his life. He followed the footsteps of his
father, a jazz drummer, by playing with a variety of
bands from his mid teens onwards, before setting up
Cooking Vinyl, the ground-breaking roots label that
enjoyed considerable success in the 80s with acts such
as Michelle Shocked, Cowboy Junkies, Four Brothers and
Edward II. Although no longer a part of that set up,
Pete's walkman field recording of Ms Shocked's 'Texas
Campfire Tapes' - an album that went on to top the
independent album charts - has now become legendary.
Things move on however, and one lazy Sunday morning in
1993, however, the idea for the Big Chill club and
festival was born, and since then there has been no
looking back, with many magazines and broadsheets now
recognising The Big Chill as one of the best of its time
(?Easily the best festival of the summer? The Observer,
?the best festival on the planet? DJ magazine.) During
this time, Pete has produced six mix albums for the Big
Chill û one of them with long-time chill collaborator
Tom Middleton û published and edited the
highly-respected On magazine, which was in many ways the
catalyst for the whole chill out scene, organised a wide
range of events, and DJed all over the world - from
Brazil to Siberia (where he was the first western DJ to
play in Yakutsk in 1996.
Somewhere amidst all this activity Pete also finds time
to record his own music, currently under the name of
Chilled by Nature. Chilled's first EP has just been
released on the Big Chill label and has received some
positive reviews and DJ responses in its initial weeks.
Anyone who takes the time to talk to him will find that
his musical vision encompasses a hugely diverse range of
influences, ranging from psychedelia and folk to
classical and world music, taking in all manner of
electronic music too on the way. As devotees of Pete's
'Beach' and 'Enchanted' compilations will know, the Big
Chill specialises in music that above all else is made
to be listened to."
