Paul Hession & Hans Peter-Hiby

Army of Briars - Exciting live debut for Folk prog in the classic British tradition. Martin Archer, Julie Cole, Tim Cole, Keith Jafrate.
"Tim's songs are complex and highly musicianly, sitting inside the wider tradition of pioneering work by greats such as Pentangle, John Martyn, Nick Drake, and giving me plenty of scope to work on adventurous arrangements which are centred on dark woodwinds plus a range of "classic" keyboards such as mellotron, Fender Rhodes and Hammond organ which hopefully carry both a allusion to the history of this tradition, plus an occasional pointer to the future. I managed even to get in the odd bit of Faust and Stockhausen, though not too much! Of course, all of this would be meaningless without Julie's fantastically pure haunting and keening vocal which centres the works, and gives them the timeless quality we were looking for." - Martin Archer on the New CD

ARMY OF BRIARS

ParaMusic Ensemble - Collins, Jasnoch, Head, Hawkins.
The Paramusicensemble (PME) present a live para musical performance using scratch-built electronic instruments and sounding devices. An improvisation group, some refer to them as Experimental Folk, they defy many genres. The quartet of Charlie Collins (percussion), John Jasnoch (strings), Richard Head (double-bass monolin) and Scott Hawkins (electrophonics) are really beyond comparison, explaining "We'd like to be regarded as Masters of Mesmeric!" and "The only thing we have in common is that we don't think the same". Clocking up over 200 years worth of live performance between them, they are aware that "experience is not a qualification."
PME is unique. An intellectual and emotional roller coaster. The sounding devices they use, having unusual with compelling audible and visual qualities. Along with some less frequent but recogniseable conventional instruments, Lute, Banjolele, Percussion, the ensemble comprises some very accomplished musicians who chose to experiment, play and stretch the preconceptions of music, sound, space and place. "Our live performances are designed to be physical, making interactions with artefacts, audience and environment in a location specific way. As a consequence, individual performances are not repeatable or transferable."
