Forest of Sound	Jul 14 2008 4:37 AM For this Forest of Sound we’re getting together with our good friends at Misplaced Music to celebrate the release of Gareth S. Brown’s new album, The Gallows on Misplaced Music (order here). Bracken makes simply stunning music - walls of ambient sound, dark dub bass and atmospheres, destroyed and re-claimed found sound, beats that range from over-powering to perfectly understated. Gareth S. Brown creates gorgeous work of layered beauty with nods towards Philip Glass, Terry Riley and Michael Nyman as well as latter day travellers such as Max Richter, Yann Tiersen and Aphex Twin. Sketches for Albinos makes a sound that manages to be both truly heartfelt and organic, but also encompassing the majestic glacial soundscapes that would make the likes of Tim Hecker or Fennesz proud. The Declining Winter are a new musical project, led by Richard Adams, the co-founder of Domino Records group Hood, and is influenced by the music of Low, The Durutti Column, Songs of Green Pheasant and more. They have recently toured with ambient legends, Stars of the Lid. Live they’re a wonderful, beautiful, pastoral experience. Friday: 1/8/2008 @ The Packhorse, Leeds. Doors 7.30pm. £5 on the door. Join the last fm fun here.
7 Hertz	Jun 30 2008 8:25 AM See you there!
Forest of Sound	Jun 2 2008 4:46 AM Koen Holtkamp is no stranger to producing beautiful music. Expect layers of warm organic noise and found sound combine to make pieces that are both gorgeously minimalistic and endlessly deep. He's making the trip over from New York to celebrate the launch of his new album on Type records, and you'd be a fool to miss him! Gorgeously organic music that washes over you and through you - the best of all ambient music understands the importance of holding back, of understatement, of beauty - Pausal achieve this, and more. Stunning stuff for a night of pure sonic bliss. Forest of Sound's favourite one man laptop genius, randomNumber, comes back to regale us with his excellent and deeply inventive brand of electronica. There's a reason that he's so energetic in his performance - his music is brilliant. Simple. As. A Forest of Sound presentation. It’ll be £5 on the door, and doors are at 8pm.

Tracer Trails Present:	May 19 2008 4:28 PM Friday, May 23rd, The Declining Winter 7VWWVW & Doogie Paul @ Stills Gallery (Cockburn Street, Edinburgh) 7pm-10pm tickets £4 on the door / cheap beer! The Declining Winter is a new musical project led by Richard Vincent Adams, co-founder of leftfield musical pioneers Hood - influenced by Low, The Durutti Column and York City FC. Skip your tea for the magnificent, synth-laden 7VWWVW (aka MAMMAL), and Doogie Paul of James Yorkston and the Athletes upright bass infamy.
Forest of Sound	May 1 2008 5:18 AM Easily one of the most important bands of our times (and we don't say that lightly), Stars of the Lid are the highpoint of the ambient genre. Their influence on the music that really matters over the last decade has been huge, and we're incredibly honoured to be hosting them again in Leeds. This gig will be very very different, and very very special. Stars of the Lid have excelled at designing subtle, minimalist epics which sound like they're being played on a single multifaceted organic instrument. A wise man once described SOTL as "divine classical drones without the tedious intrusion of drums, or vocals. " The Declining Winter is the musical project of Richard Vincent Adams of Leeds UK, the co-founder of the continuing group Hood and a full time stricken office worker. What does it sound like? Richard says "cassette tapes spilling out of the glovebox of a 1970's Datsun Sunny somewhere in the north of England, captured on Super 8 film". He's not far off. Live he is joined by a few more people to bring the beautiful pastoral feel to life. Wonderful stuff. A Forest of Sound presentation. Tickets are £10 and are available from We Got Tickets and Jumbo Records. It’ll be £12 on the doors, and doors are at 8pm. Join the Last FM fun here.

Felix Kubin	Mar 29 2008 7:18 AM Beware of the strings, dear Gareth. They are sighing for you. But sighing means lying, only strings that are crying are not lying.
Forest of Sound	Mar 27 2008 7:04 AM Golden Diskó Ship combines a mass of instruments and found objects (guitars, viola, glockenspiel, sticky tape, compact disc cases, toys…) together with perfectly crafted laptop electronica to form a world of beautiful, original and individual music - “…dreamy, experimental folk electronica that sounds like walking on the beach with the sun in your eyes." The Declining Winter is the musical project of Richard Vincent Adams of Leeds UK, the co-founder of the continuing group Hood and a full time stricken office worker. What does it sound like? Richard says "cassette tapes spilling out of the glovebox of a 1970's Datsun Sunny somewhere in the north of England, captured on Super 8 film". He's not far off. Live he is joined by a few more people to bring the beautiful pastoral feel to life. Wonderful stuff. Hands and Fingers makes minimally gorgeous cerebral music. He mixes samples, acoustic guitars, glockenspiel and ambient atmospheres with drum breaks that have been described as "Tortoise having a fight with Four Tet in the dark, with John Bonham trying to split them up". It's ace. Very ace. A Forest of Sound presentation. It’s £4 on the door, doors are 8pm. Join the Last FM fun here.

raine	Mar 11 2008 11:49 AM i can't make my flyer appear here but gareth s brown will be performing in leeds on tuesday march 18th with felix kubin and tigers! at the brudenell social club.
Paulrawnerve	Feb 23 2008 2:34 PM love these sounds, anything that is inspired/reminiscent of philip glass is a winner in my book.
Forest of Sound	Feb 14 2008 1:18 PM Alas, the first Forest of Sound of 2008 has been disrupted. Capulet have had to pull out as one of their number has been asked to support The Smashing Pumpkins in his other role in Oceansize… but fear not, the super talented James Yates has been added to the bill. Dirge are a find that got the Forest of Sound camp very, very excited. Based around a minimalist core Dirge take the raw emotion and sweeping bleak sounds from the post-rock canon and fuse them with story telling and lyricism of lo-fi indie and folk and slowcore beauty. Her Name Is Calla are astoundingly good. Watching these guys play is like watching a force of nature threatening to destroy everything around you - the power, beauty and effect of their music has to be seen live to be appreciated. CHARLIESHERO are a band who read from the post rock canon and spit it back out with blistering energy and conviction. This kind of music lives and dies in the playing - the dynamics, the passion, the sheer force of it all... Luckily, they've got all that down just right. James Yates’ solo show is something to behold - organic electronics, perfect drums, spot on percussion and mad-as-a-hatter inventiveness. A Forest of Sound presentation. Tickets are £5 on the door, doors are 7.30pm. Join the Last FM fun here.
