Webster and Childs feature on 'Fountains'
Emmy award-winning composer Michael Price released Tender Symmetry, his second album with Erased Tapes, on August 31st 2018.
The ambitious musical project takes in a series of iconic National Trust locations across England as its inspiration, turning them into unlikely recording spaces. Michael and a host of musicians and collaborators — including brass virtuosi David Childs and Roger Webster (Foutains), soprano Grace Davidson (featured on Sleep) and Shards (the choir on All Melody) — travelled across the country in pursuit of places far removed from the traditional recording studio to create seven unique and moving pieces, straddling the past and the future.
The diversity of Michael Price’s choices ranges from the ruins of Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire to the Fan Bay WWII shelter, cut deep into the chalk cliffs of Dover. All owned by the National Trust save one, each venue became both the inspiration and the recording studio for Michael Price and his accompaniment of renowned musical ensembles, choirs and soloists.
Commenting on the project David Childs stated, “It was a real pleasure to be involved in this recording venture. It’s always great to work with soloists of Roger’s calibre and the spectacular venue of Fountains Abbey provided a wonderful acoustic for the Michael Price’s innovative work.”
The album is available on CD, Vinyl and for download via Erased Tapes. The track can be viewed on youtube using the following link:
