Peter Chilvers

Echoing the powerful and ambitious 1970s solo piano suites by the likes of Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea, Peter Chilvers' 'Piano' represents a return to the influences and improvisations that marked Peter's introduction to music.

The album's highlights include 'Ghost Town Suite', a linked sequence of seven atmospherically downbeat pieces recorded in a single half hour session.

'Empty Spaces', the musically spare and poignant closing track from Piano (a 2006 collection of solo piano improvisations by Chilvers), has been sensitively re-mixed by UXB, and given a beautiful Jazz-tinged makeover.

Evoking the atmosphere of Harold Budd and Brian Eno's acclaimed collaborative albums and the instrumental work of David Sylvian, 'Empty Spaces' is available as an exclusive free download.

Unavailable since 2000, 'World Of Bright Futures', Tim Bowness's 1999 album with Samuel Smiles (Mike Bearpark, Peter Chilvers, Myke Clifford) is now available as an exclusive Burning Shed download.

Taking its cue from the timeless and sensuous late night ambience of John Martyn, Arab Strap and the Blue Nile, and occasionally drawing on the darker, more parched terrain of Peter Hammill and Mark Eitzel, the album offers eight original compositions and two cover versions (Peter Hammill's 'Ophelia' and King Crimson's 'Two Hands').

Featuring Alias Grace vocalist Sandra O'Neill, guitarist Tony Harn, and Porcupine Tree's Colin Edwin and Steven Wilson (who appear on 'Watching Over Me'), World of Bright Futures smoulders in a twilight reverie of cheap drum machines and high emotions, digital hardware and human heartache.

Headphones ahoy!

Blue Turns To Grey is the second album from the experimental collective centred around the nucleus of Peter Chilvers and reclusive marimba/vibraphone virtuoso Jon Hart, and features guest contributions from Sandra O'Neill (Alias Grace) and Steve Adey.

A limited edition clear vinyl release on the Dutch 'Tonefloat' label, the album continues to develop the cinematic and atmospheric approach introduced on the duo's debut release, Surfacing.

Alias Grace return with three traditional songs from vocalist Sandra O'Neill's native Ireland, ranging from the choked guitars and pattering rhythms of She Moved Through the Fair to the atmospheric piano and guitar loops of Sally Gardens.
