Warbling by Melt

Composed in a similar style to earlier Melt projects 'Theta Waves' and 'Deep Layer', the album is based around a 'one take' guitar improvisation - a continuous session built from loops, melodies and textures. Further layers of guitar, bass, drums, saxophone, trumpet, piano and percussion were added by Jordan Rodger, until separate pieces slowly developed and the collage of sounds began to take on new shapes and forms.

As in the previous releases, artists were approached to collaborate on several pieces with a vague brief that 'bird song and it's personal effect on them' should inform their additions. The results were some beautiful tape manipulation and vocal drones added by Reuben Ingall (NIMBY, Pav Dundee) an oblique dream recollection from Alice Rezende (Olivia's World), and dreamy, playful saxophone interplay from Anna Langdon (Loose Fit).

The result is an album that the listener can drift in and out of, settle in for some deep listening, or maybe (hopefully) it might inspire some future bird watchers/noticers.

Music made from improvisations.
