I TUNES

REVIEWS

Marvin Ayres is a composer, cellist, pianist and violinist.

"like some of (Brian) Eno's best work, the atmospheres Ayres creates can comfortably blend into the sonic backdrop, they are also compelling pieces of music that can dominate and transport." All About Jazz

Ayres has recorded a diverse selection of ambient and 'string design' albums, as well as produced a number of sensual jazz and film soundtracks that combine classical technique with free-form extemporization.

"A serious and thoughtful composer." The Wire

A founding member of The Government, Ayres also made solo contributions to bands and artists throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, notably, Culture Club, Simply Red, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and Prefab Sprout. In 1999 he was signed to the avant-garde label Mille Plateaux as composer/producer, and released two ambient albums, Cellosphere and Neptune to critical acclaim.

Excerpts of these works have been performed live in an array of forums such as: London's 'Festival of Electonica,' (with Groove Armada's Patrick Dawes) and the inter-media cutting edge event 'Sprawl'.

His reputation as producer and performer came to the attention of Jaki Liebezeit (ex CAN), who invited him to re-mix tracks and tour with Liebezeit's band Club off Chaos in early 2001. Ayres is currently commissioned by Einsturzende Neubauten's electronica music publishers Freibank , and his compositions have been featured on five of Freibank's 'For Films' albums.

His latest studio album Eccentric Deliquescence will be released in May 2008 as a CD and limited edition DVD. Again, this will feature 5.1 surround sound and will include animation and film as well as live performance.

In addition to his work with musicians, Ayres also collaborates with visual artists on audio/visual installations, which have been exhibited in major galleries and art houses in Europe and the U.S.

In 2000, the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts) in London commissioned him to compose and produce their first ever DVD exhibition.

The two works resulting from this were Sensory and Cycle incorporating spatial soundscapes and psycho acoustics and were composed specifically for 5.1 Surround Sound. Marvin Ayres.. collaborative film Scape is to this day a permanent fixture on exhibition at The Tate Modern.

His ongoing project with Sonja Kristina (ex Curved Air) is called Mask.

Their 2006 hit single 'Waking The Dream' came from their debut dual-disc album Heavy Petal.

He has just finished producing the second Mask album 'Technopia', which will be released in late 2008.

Hello - it's me again!

There's some synth users amongst my friends who really don't want to listen to "real music" anymore - their point being that classic instruments have had their time and that their sounds are out of date.

I tend to disagree - and your music makes a fantasic point for the opposite site. :)
