BRIAN LOCK - RÊVE
CD: £9.99 + P&P

Think classical music, electronica, lush melodies, laptops, recorded bird song, the sound of a food processor, some seriously heavy beats, an electric harp, a clarinet, a dog barking - and you start to get the picture. The underlying premise is very simple: take a traditional form or instrument, such as a sonata or a cello and explore their possibilities in a non-traditional way. It's about the sound of something, not what that thing represents - in other words, a breath of fresh air. The result is a paradoxical mix of the accessible and highly experimental, which actually works.
