   About esperi


YOU CAN PLAY ALONG (run your mouse over the bells )

Esperi is the project of Chris Lee-marr, who plays both solo and with the help of his friends Cat Lee-Marr (harp), Jon Adam (drums), Craig Arnott (bass) and Eilidh Glynn (cello). Chris also plays in the a forest with Cat and Eilidh , and in the kays lavelle .
Esperi have played shows around the uk with such great artists as James Yorkston , Pictish Trail , Sleepingdog ,Gomez, Vessels ,Zoey Van Goey ,Emily Barker, Meursault , Brother Louis collective , De Rosa , Trapped in Kansas and have an e.p called 21:21 .

gorgeous, wistful folk by one man and a guitar, accompanying himself with a veritable toyshop’s worth of rainbow-coloured bells and plastic percussion-last years girl

"Esperi layers the most colourful instruments using a loop pedal. Rainbow coloured bells, serenading guitar, meandering xylophone and a whole host of sounds. The intricacies created were at points majestic yet fragile enough that it was like watching feathers falling and hitting the air like bows wafting upon violins. One mans journey into sleep is another man’s dance through the fields. That is the beauty of Esperi, you are left wistful yet elated after seeing him live." Halina Rifai-Glasgow PodcART

"Like going to the pantomime with the cub scouts " Mixu (friend)

"It’s really difficult to put into words what Chris Lee- Marr’s performance was like. It was quiet, bizarre, breathtaking, claustrophobic, impressive and intense; at times it was just jaw dropping. Playing solo, Chris managed to conjure some absolutely magical moments by combining his unbelievable guitar playing with some quite beautiful moments of musical mayhem. Whether it was by recording himself while playing then adding layer upon layer of instrumentation on top of the recording, or by his magical feet tapping bells while playing guitar, the outcome was some kind of beautiful madness. One of the most low key and laid back performances I have witnessed, at times there was an intensity that made the room feel as if the air had been sucked out and we were left with a vacuum surrounded by music. Set highlights Dialled and Proverb are amazing songs deserving of a huge audience, you can get the Esperi album from the myspace." Sean Mcann - Glasgow PodcART


sound like music to put a baby to sleep with, or like a man singing on top of a mountain- Sara

£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!

Hugs from Brazil,

Valeu demais a força! Quando rolaumtempinho, me fala o que achou da £leTriKa. Agente junta Metal com umasparada Brasileira. Tamutendumbom feed nas rádios gringas nos quatrocontos. Mantenha contato, blz?

Grande abraço,

I love the first version of origami. They're both great, but the first version's more intimate and melancholy to me.

skype me ripe -- listening to the songs now

might be worth compressing them yourself in protools though -- myspace puts on it's own nasty compression -- though doesn't sound bad here -- does on the starling stuff. I have yet to recompress my tracks for myspace. xx
