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.
