Chris Harvey: gentle, intelligent electronic music
Synth artist &
composer Chris Harvey cut his teeth on the UK production
scene working as a session musician, producer and collaborator with
numerous musicians including The Lloyd Langton Group, Crystal Void,
S'express and Kevin Rowland.
He has an unusual blend of influences by any standard; Aphex Twin,
Delia Derbyshire, Thomas Dolby, Indian and African folk music, along
with composers such as Ligeti and Stravinsky.
Chris has also composed for The English Shakespeare Company, various
Film & TV projects in the UK & US, and has continued to perform
extensively in the UK & Europe for the last ten years.
His debut album - 'The White Sail' - was originally released in 1995
and successfully combines haunting, lyrical melodies with inspired
percussion and a rare sense of harmony. Whilst essentially
minimalistic, the album carves out a strong identity- its carefully
constructed melodies lingering long after they're heard.
Originally signed to UK label A.D. Music, Chris reclaimed rights to 'The
White Sail' late 2004 and immediately chose to become part of the
Magnatune Community, alongside former labelmate and friend Jan Hanford.
