Peter Broderick: piano and voice

From the label:
Split album "glimmer" is Takumi Uesaka and Peter Broderick's work. This album's concept "If Takumi and Peter make the song for a quiet midnight". With naive voice and quiet melody, Takumi & Peter delicately presents the calm mid-night, and then "Quiet night" would surrounds and lull the audience.

Takumi Uesaka
Takumi Uesaka's sound world is comprised of neutral vocal wearing melancholy, electric acoustic guitar, feedback and humming. His world is delicate and fragile. And there is none other like him. His music is none like Sigur Ros and Owen's, yet as the debut album, it gives a great impact like theirs... or even greater!

Peter Broderick
With the new relesae "How They Are" in september, Peter Broderick is one of the representative figure in the scene. In this "glimmer", all his pieces are recorded at Grunewald church in Berlin. Adding the peculiar atmosphere to church and reverberation to his pieces, his pieces ever more simple and deeply resounding.
These pieces are truely the songs for "night". You can't stop shutting eyes and deeply absorbed into it.

About 32minutes quiet midnight.

Released in November 2010 in Japan; worldwide release in February 2011

. . .

In August 2009, I wrote some numbers on photo I had taken a few months earlier. I intended to use the image/numbers as a musical score. I then made a piece of music based on this score.

Once I was finished, I put up the image on my flickr page, accompanied by my song, available to download. And then I asked for anyone in the world to interpret the score, through music, photography, film, drawing, painting, or any other medium the artist might choose.

For one year I collected submissions from all around the world, and I was very happy and surprised to see the number of contributions coming in. I was also very surprised at the variety of work submitted, from songs to soundscapes, detailed drawings to abstract images, and even a couple video clips.

At one point it struck me how much I loved this idea of collaborating with anyone in the world who wanted to participate. Not asking any specific people, but just letting anyone take part only if they decided to on their own free will. Not judging or comparing the different submissions, but just accepting them as equal parts of a larger project.

And so with the help of graphic designer/artist Jana Kühl (who happens to be the very first person to contribute to this project!), all submissions collected between August 2009 and August 2010 have been put together into a 48 page booklet + cd containing nine audio tracks and two videos. And I can't help but feel like this nearly random collection is somehow complete, that all of the pieces fit together and compliment each other in some strange way.

Hello To Nils

"Throughout most of 2009, in the brief, scattered periods when I wasn’t on tour, I was working on what I thought to be my next album. After recording and releasing quite a few different projects these last few years, I was ready to slow down and take my time on something. Around mid-2009 I asked my friend Nils Frahm to come on board as producer for the new album, and that’s when I started to get a clearer picture of what this album might be like in the end. It quickly became larger and larger, with us spending late nights in the studio, sleeping on the floor, recording layer after layer of any instrument laying around.

By the beginning of 2010 we were making good progress and everything was moving so quickly, but at this time I was suffering from a surgery I had on my knee in December 2009, and I just hoped and expected that things would get better like the doctor said they would, and I could continue on with what was looking to be the busiest year of my life so far. Starting in March, I had plans to be on tour all year long, both with solo concerts and as a touring member of Efterklang. Come the end of February, with the state of my knee declining to the point of me walking on crutches and not wanting to get out of bed, it became very clear that I needed to take a break. I wiped out my calendar for the next three months and flew home to Oregon to stay with my family and get into a regular physical therapy routine.

At this time I also decided that it might not be a good idea to release this new album in 2010. I knew I would need to put a band together to perform this music, and I knew I couldn’t think about doing all that until I was able to at least walk normally again. So we held off on finishing the mixes, and agreed to postpone the release until 2011.

I spent a few months mostly at home and in bed, and out of that time came something that for me was very unexpected. I started to write. Since I couldn’t be up and comfortably playing an instrument, I started making compositions on the computer screen with words instead of sounds. And with my musical brain I immediately imagined all of these little stories and poems being turned into songs. I would sing or speak the words into my voice recorder and imagine them being turned into pieces of music with an orchestra underneath, or just a guitar, or just the voice alone.

Once my knee started improving and I was up walking around again, I took these words that seemed so fresh and exciting to me, and sat down at the piano or with a guitar or a violin, and created many songs in this way. It was the first time for me as a singer/songwriter that the words came before the music. And in this time alone, and especially after working so long and hard on this huge sounding album with Nils, I was really loving the simplicity and spaciousness of good old fashioned acoustic music. No tricks, no electronics, just me doing what I can do at once with my voice and an instrument or two, however pathetic or beautiful that might be.

So in April I went into Type Foundry Studio in Portland, Oregon, to record all this new music I had written. My goal was to record and mix as many songs as I could in one day, all performed live, recorded directly to two inch tape. I showed up with 13 songs and managed to get 11 of them on tape before we were all exhausted. The day in the studio flew by so fast, I had the feeling I had played all the songs at twice the normal speed. But I put the recordings aside for a couple weeks, and when I came back to them, I felt there was something there, something that was hitting me in the right way. I selected seven of the tracks and arranged them into this mini-album.

And now I am in Berlin for the Summer, with a knee that is not perfect but definitely getting better, making plans for the release of this album (which has been given the title “How They Are”) in September, and planning a string of intimate solo shows around Europe in October.

In a way I think I’m just taking a step back before taking a step forward. This year we will slowly finish the mixes on what now feels like a monster album (the album with Nils), and I will release and perform some more simple music, and then next year I’ll be putting a band together, releasing the other album, and hopefully touring around the world."

Performed live on the 22nd of April, 2010 at Type Foundry Studio, Portland, Oregon. Watch video of the entire album being recorded here.

From flickr: "Jedadiah Bernards is old friend from my hometown. We don't really know each other that well, but the last couple times I've been back in Oregon, we've gotten together to do some recording. Last night after a dinner with family and friends, we went up to the barn and recorded a quick song. He layed down a short piano piece he'd written and then I added four layers of improvised violin."

Newark

March 2010 Newark (mp3)

From flickr:

"1. nine hours - copenhagen to newark
2. six hours - waiting at newark airport
3. six hours - newark to portland

I arrive in Newark. Inside the airport the air is warm and stale. Going outside means that I'll have to go through the tedious security check once more, but there's no way I'm going to stay in here that long.

Outside, I sit down on a bench and have a cigarette. To the right there's big group of young Danes from my same flight. If it's possible to turn off the brain in any way, I had definitely flipped that switch. Nothing looked beautiful, nothing looked the opposite of beautiful. Everything was just there, and I was just there, with absolutely no ambitions or energy to do anything but sit there and kill the time.

Eating might be good. I get up to go check if there's anything inside. As I'm walking to the entrance, I pass a trash can, with all kinds of people standing around, waiting to be picked up.

IS THAT A GUITAR IN THE TRASH CAN?

YES.

I think it's fair to say that I make a very conscious effort not to judge people or things too quickly, but I have to say, whoever puts a guitar in a trash can is a FOOL. Certainly not someone I'd be having dinner with. But in this moment, I was absolutely thrilled that this fool was here on the planet with me.

Aside from being wildly out of tune, the guitar seemed to be in fine shape. One of the tuning pegs broke as I tried to stretch the strings into some kind of playable sound. But I just made up some strange tuning that fit with the one string that couldn't be changed.

official.durtonstudio.com/newark.mp3

We had a nice time together. And once I remembered that eating might be a good idea, I left it there on the sidewalk, hoping one of those Danish kids would pick it up and get the whole group to do a singalong. "
