Album Description
Recommended to Matthew Herbert by Plaid, London-based Max de Wardener releases his debut album, "Where I Am Today on Herberts label Accidental. Max made his first appearance on Accidental with the "Stops" 12" in 2002, shortly after having written the musical score for Paul Pavlikovskys award-winning feature film, "The Last Resort". Max has emerged with a wonderfully understated album where recordings of acoustic instruments and objects (wires & bowls) fizz and buzz before finally wrapping themselves around the sound of electricity.
Each track has a story behind its making: Hundreds and thousands, for example, uses recordings of church organs played in an English cathedral and church. The music has all the trade-mark serenity you might expect from such a beast of an instrument. It then incorporates the percussive clicks and whirs of a camera to shape it into something equally beautiful. "Truly modern, progressive music" is how Matthew Herbert describes it.
The album has the sparks and scratches of electronic music, the tranquillity, tenderness and space of Brian Enos ambient work but its all driven by rhythmeven when there isnt any. Max can be found playing double-bass in London most nights of the week and is currently part of Dani Sicilianos live band.
