PUBLIC SYMPHONY:
"Our music is crafted for music lovers more than pop charts. Our self-produced and self-released album is a hi-fi journey, designed to be heard in sequence as a whole. The intention of the songs is to inspire; we hope the album lifts you. Whether you listen on headphones or hi-fi, to bliss your own headspace or to share the experience, we hope that our album is a timeless gem in your music collection.
"We are audiophiles and we have spent years crafting and honing this album, unfunded, when such works are rare. Despite great acclaim from the press, we have revised the mixes again towards re-release. Without any funds for promotion or marketing, we implore listeners to discover our music to other people."
public a. serving the people
symphony n. harmony of sounds
PUBLIC SYMPHONY play live either with full band, or as a reduced line-up alongside extraordinary, projected, animated visuals to accompany the set for a unique 'experience'. Gigs include The London Forum (with Marillion), Hammersmith Apollo (with Jason Mraz), Bush Hall (with Newton Faulkner).
The extraordinary animated videos are collaborations fulfilled purely over the internet. The conceptual animations for 'Stronger' and 'White Dove' were created by Canadian animator Theodore Ushev. These inspired US animator Kel Nelson to make a CGI fly through evolution for 'Breakthrough'. 1970's British TV hero, Mr Benn, stars in 'Anything Is Possible', with kind permission from creator David McKee and Rollo Rights.
Dobs previously managed James but the two started writing and clicked. A great understanding emerged. Aside this project, James is a producer of countless dance records, including twiddling the knobs behind Braund Reynolds, Soul Avengerz, Supermal etc. Dobs previously managed recording artists (e.g. DJ Sasha, BT, Dido, Mozez of Zero7) and he now composes music for British TV.
The debut album has been critically acclaimed and has been revised with new mixes for a 2009 edition.
