FROM THE ARCHIVE: A surprising and (very) rough and ready glimpse into a studio rehearsal between Colin Potter and myself done in 2005. There’s even some drums in there (though it ain’t no disco). Seems we were having fun with a granulator plugin :-)
It fades out before anyone gets hurt too badly. A strange departure.

Paul Bradley:
Originally from the UK, Paul Bradley is a musician who creates textural drones to
re-describe the sonic landscape. Sounds are abstracted from life, reinterpreted and given a new context. Instruments, most notably guitar, are disembodied and twisted into new sound-worlds creating rich, sonorous organic abstractions. Concepts are rarely made explicit or even discussed under the belief that language would destroy the un-temporal and emotional aspects of the work.
Releases have been issued on a number of labels including ICR (UK), Alluvial Recordings (USA), Shining Day (PL), Small Voices (IT), Con-v (ES) and also on his own label Twenty Hertz. Collaborations have been plentiful working with contemporaries such as Colin Potter, Maile Colbert, Andrew Liles and also as a recent member of Monos. As well as being issued on CD these “sensual strung-out vibrations” have been shown and performed both solo and in collaboration in the UK, Spain, Portugal and the USA.
Paul also runs Twenty Hertz and Edition Sonoro issuing recordings from the likes of Ubeboet, Keith Berry and Jgrzinich and also co-organised a series of live events entitled Intergration which included artists such as Keith Rowe, Andrew Chalk, Jonathan Coleclough and Scribble Seven (aka Nurse With Wound).
Review quotes:
“(Liquid Sunset) is an absolutely beautiful piece. Let there be no mistake about it.”
Vital Weekly
“As if watching a highway glowing in the burning sun, the flickering heat radiated by these tracks turns into a sensation of its own, morphing and loosing its form…”
Tokafi
“…some of the most spellbinding electronic works of the last decade.”
Touching Extremes
Castellano;
Paul Bradley es originalmente del Reino Unido y un músico que utiliza tapices con texturas de vibraciones para describir el paisaje sonoro. Los sonidos se abstraen de la vida, son reinterpretados y se les otorga un nuevo contexto. Los instrumentos, sobre la guitarra, son decorporalizados, agitados y mezclados formando nuevos 'mundos sonoros' los cuales, juntos, se transforman en música rica, fluida y sonora. Estas 'vibraciones sensuales y nerviosas' ensamblan lo digital con lo analógico y a la fonografía con las disciplinas instrumentales creando una abstracción orgánica del sonido. El resultado final suele dar la impresión del tiempo fluido, cuyos límites simplemente están ahí para traspasarlos.
Los discos se han publicado en un número de sellos incluyendo ICR (RU), Alluvial Recordings, (EEUU), Shining Day (Polonia), Small Voices (Italia), Con-v (ES) y también en su propia sello Twenty Hertz.
Ha Colaborado con multitud de artistas: contemporáneos como Colin Potter, Maile Colbert, Andrew Liles y también como miembro de Monos.
Así como la publicación en Cd estos “sensual strung-out vibrations” se han demostrado y realizado ambos solo y en la colaboración en de Reino Unido, España, Portugal y de EEUU.
Bradley también trabaja para los sellos 'Twenty Hertz' y 'edition sonoro' publicando discos del tipo de Ubeboet, Keith Berry, Jgrzinich, y también coorganizó una serie de eventos llamado Intergration qué artistas incluidos como Keith Rowe, Steven Stapleton, Andrew Chalk, Jonathan Coleclough, Joolie Wood y Matt Waldron.
