Having previously written and orchestrated State River Widening, Ellis Island Sound, Snow Palms among other acclaimed works, Vertical Land is multi-instrumentalist David John Sheppard’s first bona fide solo album.
Its tracks were begun percussively by inserting pencils into guitars then hammering the strings with vibraphone mallets - or alternatively by applying layers of masking tape to the strings of an upright piano.
Marimbas, glockenspiels and mountain dulcimers were all attacked with a similar sense of primal reflex until the compositions were gradually built up, only to be stripped back down again to reveal new forms, combinations and colours.
Includes digital download.
Also available on CD.
