DAVID JOHN SHEPPARD - DAVID JOHN SHEPPARD - Vertical Land [Vinyl]
Barcode: 5051083088466

Multi-instrumentalist and composer David John Sheppard - writer and orchestrator behind the acclaimed State River Widening, Ellis Island Sound, Snow Palms and Leaf recording artists Phelan/Sheppard, Vertical Land is Sheppards first bona fide solo album. Tracks were begun percussively by inserting pencils into guitars to make false bridges, then hammering the strings with vibraphone mallets, or by applying layers of masking tape to the strings of an upright piano in order to create a raw percussive instrument. Marimbas, glockenspiels and mountain dulcimers were all attacked with a similar sense of primal reflex until the compositions were gradually built up, only to be stripped back down again in a very painterly process, to reveal new forms, combinations and colours. For fans of Cinematic Orchestra, Tortoise, Steve Reich and Phillip Glass.
