Theo Alexander专辑介绍：The unique sound of London-born composer Theo Alexander blends tape-loop based drones with contemporary composition and a classical sensibility, resulting in a rich and unnerving sound that expands in each performance. An innovative playing and recording technique involving multiple layers of taped sound gives his music an arresting and raw quality that is seldom heard in the current piano music revival. His previous releases Waiting For You to Die and The Black Bunny were released by Swedish label 1631 Recordings (Hauschka, Dustin O'Halloran, et al), and Points of Decay by London label Blank Editions (Thurston Moore, Ben Vince). His new album, Broken Access, was recorded at Alexander’s home in Prague utilising piano and Tascam 414. Made up of five pieces, Broken Access is a beautiful marriage of his previous music resulting in his most complete and satisfying work to date. The album cover features the work of contemporary artist David Altmejd PRESS QUOTES: “Haunting” is a lazy and inaccurate way to describe one’s sound, except when you’re talking about London composer Theo Alexander. Layers of piano echo on top of each other to create an ancient, claustrophobic sound that sounds eerie and beautiful – imagine if My Bloody Valentine tried writing a piano ballad. Headphone Nation With his audacity and talent, the young artist renews classical music by pushing the frontiers of the genre with flying colors. Totoromoon The piece is an urgent composition for piano that experiments with layering and samples to give a fully textured and rich sound that steps outside of the tropes of the genre. Sonofmarketing Alexander's weapon of choice is the piano and much like a Nils Frahm, he finds ways to create a melodic dissonance and percussion that takes you on a emotional magic carpet ride. Magnetic "That Alexander can balance a percussive instinct with, as the piece proceeds, a penchant for melodic flourishing is very much to his credit." Disquiet releases April 27, 2018 license
