Talvihorros "Some Ambulance" Benbecula Records, 2009 (BEN551) CD Album Minerals Series - Limited 5021449511020 Release date: 31 August 2009 BUY THIS RELEASE Track Listing 1. Handwriting (Part I) 2. Etude IV 3. The Blue Cathedral 4. Death of a Dream 5. Etude III 6. Hope / Again / Sleep 7. A Rural Place 8. Handwriting (Part II) Talvihorros is the studio project of London based Ben Chatwin exploring the electronic manipulation of acoustic instruments. Primarily a guitarist with a background in live performance, acoustic, electric and prepared guitars are integrated with organ, piano, banjo, analogue synthesiser and an array of percussion instruments to create a unique voice in modern electronic music. Debut album ‘Its Already on Fire’ was self-released in small numbers in late 2008 in beautiful, hand crafted and numbered packaging. It was well received by the likes of Textura.org ‘…compact constructions that quietly dazzle…’ and Norman records ‘…more bedroom electronics, whoever has made this clearly has 'the ear' as they've managed to create something pretty fresh sounding. ’ Some Ambulance is a more focused and tense affair, with many tracks coated in a thick atmosphere of lost transmissions, radio-static and feedback setting the tone for Talvihorros most emotive guitar work to date. Different phasing techniques are used to hypnotic effect re-calling the minimalist work of Steve Reich. Resources Talvihorros MySpace |
