Soundscape Standards by The Dolebury Warren Quartet

The Dolebury Warren Quartet is a collaborative project between TDWM (Charlie Purse, Fred Purse), Big Fuss (Harry Irvine) and Bearer (Jack Simmonds).

We came together with the aim of producing music with a strong emphasis on texture. As if mixing paint, each player with their own colour is able to alter the tonality and hue of the collective sound, dependent on volume and frequency of playing. In this way we avoided a 'bandlike' hierarchy, instead each player becomes a soloist and with their brush are free to paint however much or little of their colour onto the soundscape.

This session was wholly improvised, the result of which being three long-form pieces that move through themes rapidly. We are all very pleased with how these tracks turned out and hope you enjoy listening.
