Who are we...?

Cellist/composer/performer/programmer -Martin McCarrick

Violinist/composer/performer - Kimberlee McCarrick.

The Music - dark, evocative, compelling, hypnotic, unsettling.... yet strangely beautiful, drawing influences from Shostakovich to the Aphex Twin via Bernard Herrmann.

.......voluptuous melodies that stagger drunkenly and bring a heady richness. - The Guardian.

....sinuous and expressive arrangements. - The Financial Times.

....atmospheric beats and lush orchestrations set to dark, moody visuals. - The Londonist.

The initial idea to create new dynamic soundtracks for old silent movies shown in tandem with their music was hindered by increasingly restrictive industry rules on film usage. Undeterred, the McCarricks enlisted the talents of independent filmmakers to create with them new films specifically tailored for their music. The result is a startling display of abstract imagery and sound, set to lead the viewer through a series of different dimensions and emotions.

The live performance sees The McCarricks playing their instruments in front a film screen where Shoppers in a Japanese supermarket mix with 1950's slow-motion contortionists via buildings that harbour strange sexual desires, while a motley array of circus sideshow freaks act our a nightmarish fairytale. The imagery captivates and leads you into the imaginations that make this beautiful music.

" Our main inspiration comes from the relationship between musical and visual mediums and the way in which our ears can alter what our eyes see. The most mundane, everyday imagery can be given life through the addition of the right soundtrack whilst the most innocent of scenes can appear as a moment of terror with the addition of a particular soundscape"

The McCarricks met in Lawrence, Kansas in 1996 at the infamous rock venue The Bottleneck. At the time, Kimberlee was a professional violinist in the Kansas Symphony Orchestra, while Martin was on tour as guitarist and electric cellist with Therapy?. Previously Martin had worked as musician/writer and string arranger, touring, recording and creating a large back catalogue of work with the likes of Siouxsie and the Banshees, This Mortal Coil, Dead Can Dance, Kristin Hersh, Marc Almond, Skunk Anansie and Therapy? to name but a few.

After two years spent living between Kimberlee's Kansas City apartment and Martins London home they settled in South-East London where they continue to live and work. They have worked extensively as studio and live musicians, individually and together - as instrumentalists, string arrangers, and as soundtrack designers/composers. They are currently working on music and films for future performance as well as writing and recording material for themselves and for other artists encompacing a diversity that many other musicians merely dream of - from contemporary classical - to Rock - to Industrial - as well as adding 'phat' strings to the work of some of breakbeat scenes most revered producers including Taishan, Jimmy Mofo and the Beat Assasins. Recent collaborations include Kristin Hersh, Siouxse Sioux, Sinead O'Connor, Gary Numan, Marianne Faithful and the Patti Smiths Meltdown concerts at The Royal Festival Hall in London.

Hi My Friend How R U?
I Hope Everything Were Fine

Here Is A Poem That I Wrote And I Want 2
Share With U...

Tell Me If U Like It And Have A Nice Day....



SECRET WORLD

Alone in the dark
Where u are?
I can't feel u
I can't hear u

Why?
We are on
Different places
At the same time
I want to be
With u
In the same place
At the same time

Alone in the dark
I hear my name
From far away
A beautiful voice
From a beautiful Lady
Step by step
I’m getting closer
2 cold 4 been real

High Wycombe
Buckinghamshire
The front door is open
She let me in
She’s in front of me
Now we are
In the same place
At the same time

Grab my hand
Let’s find home
Maybe is up in the sky
A golden compass reflect the sun
Maybe we r in the right way
Grab my hand
Kiss my heart
Take me into another world
Far away from this chaos
Take me into a beautiful world
A secret World
Where always is sunrise
Two full moons
A beautiful World
That nature design
Just for u and me
