Talvihorros - Solo Guitar Improvisation II (Rural Colours, 2011)



1 Solo Guitar Improvisation II 16:43

'Solo Guitar Improvisation II' is the first release of 2011 from the enigmatic Talvihorros who has previous releases on Hibernate, My Dance The Skull & Benbecula.

The track was recorded in a single live take with no overdubs and minimal post-production. A prepared electric guitar, played with various objects including battery-operated devices such as the Ebow, Buddha Machine and a shortwave radio, then sent through a complex chain of effects pedals and loopers.

The result is a rich tapestry of textures, guitar melodies and waves of static combining to create a unique and modern take on live guitar improvisation.

Talvihorros - Let Us Be Thankful We Have Commerce (My Dance The Skull, 2010)


My Dance The Skull est un jeune collectif d'artistes londoniens qui entend travailler tant dans le domaine de l'édition que dans le domaine de la musique, avec une première sortie en cassette le 6 mars / My Dance The Skull is an young collective of London artists, which intend to release print works and musical releases, with a first release on cassette on March 6th

My Dance The Skull is an independent publishing house founded in 2009 and based in London with the aim to promote contemporary artists whose work is inspired by the dangerous and convulsive beauty of the everyday life. My Dance The Skull present its step into the music world with the strictly limited cassette-only release of 'Let Us Be Thankful We Have Commerce' by Talvihorros.

Talvihorros is the studio project of London based Ben Chatwin, exploring the electronic manipulation of acoustic instruments.
Acoustic, electric and prepared guitars are integrated with organ, piano, mandolin, analogue synthesizer and an array of percussion instruments to create paradoxical feelings of warmth and impending doom.

Talvihorros does venture a bit into post-rock turf (sometimes sounding like the most serene moments from Godspeed You Black Emperor or Rock Action-era Mogwai crossed with the soundtrack of a Takeshi Kitano movie), but seems to be more drawn to creating a suspended, unreal mood than reaching peaks of ear-splitting volume, something that makes him more akin to ambient musicians than space-rockers.
