Description
Multi-instrumentalist, composer and educator Kevin Figes
presentsWallpaper Music IIfeaturing Brigitte Beraha on vocals, Jim
Blomfeld on keyboards, Ashley John Long on bass and Mark Whitlam on percussion
It follows Figes' critically acclaimed quartet album Wallpaper Music (2021) and
the recently released limited edition 7" vinyl Seven For Lee/ Green and Orange
Night Park.
"There are a range of infuences in the writing, including jazz, folk, rock and
contemporary classical, interspersed with improvisation," says Figes. "Specifc
infuences include Art Bears, Robert Wyatt, Kevin Ayers, and Italian contemporary
composers such as Bruno Maderna."
"The lyrics are an essential component, working with the music to set scenes and
evoke particular feelings. I hear the voice as an integral part of my music and
enjoy expressing myself through the text,"explains Figes. "Other ideas involve
using more sounds (saxes, futes, keyboard sounds, spoken word) and inventing
my own scales, harmonies and rhythmic structures. Each band member has also
placed part of their personality into the album."
