The new album from Richard Grassby-Lewis in collaboration with Bird Architect Mark Anderson.

Two kings of instrumental music meet to make the opposing halves of a gloriously united whole.

Aimed solidly at the left-field of jazz-z-lounge/chill-out these instrumental tracks will take you on a exploratory and sensual journey through a lexicon of emotions.

With its sights firmly on the contradictions and paradoxes inherent in life, the music seeks to weld them together into the inseperable whole that is their essential nature. For every action there is an equal reaction: this is the law of cause and effect that permeates all aspects of life. Thus, listening to the album in one session is like travelling through a Dalian dream: each track paints a distinct picture yet forms a part of a larger landscape.

Richard was a founder member of Bristol multimedia maniacs Startled Insects, produced some of the seminal Bristol acts of the 1980s such as Black Roots, Talisman, the Wild Bunch and the Electric Guitars, and went on to become a highly successful film and TV composer with credits such as David Attenborough’s Private Life of Plants and the cult film classic Love and Death on Long Island.

Mark’s musical birth was in Sheffield with new wavers The Extras, and his career has travelled through crazed Bristol cooperative Scream and Dance, Arts Opportunity Theatre (from whence Roni Size emanated), Viv Stanshall’s Stinkfoot, Cold Sweat, Sourmash and UK Bhangra superstars Premi and Alaap, as well as writing many soundtracks for film and TV.
