Tiny Chapter’s ‘I Was Saved By The Beauty Of The World’ is a tone poem for the unique human capacity to transform pain into love. It chronicles his own of experience of the grieving process: the tragedy of loss, the struggle for meaning & the waking up to the inherent and abiding beauty in all things. This process is wordlessly conveyed within a sound world that dissolves the boundaries between western art music, electronic ambient & film score, whilst the inner narrative attempts to dissolve the perceived boundaries between self, other & world
Tiny Chapter is the alias of Bristol based composer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Alun Elliott-Williams. Having developed a reputation for himself as the virtuoso guitarist and pedalboard brain-box of heavy electronic outfit Waldo’s Gift, Tiny Chapter made waves with his debut vocal performance in ‘The Gift’: a collaboration with south-west heavyweights Ishmael Ensemble on their 2021 album Vision of Light. This collaboration garnered widespread acclaim including support from BBC 6music figures Tom Ravenscroft and Lauren Laverne as well as joining the B-
list playlist for September-October 2021.
The name Tiny Chapter has its origins in a childhood nickname he earned from his late father, befitting his debut EP ‘For How Long Have We Been Asleep?’ as both a lyrical exploration of grief and a synthesis of his deep-rooted love affairs with ambient, electronic and western art music. Although the creative and conceptual foundation of the EP stemmed from the imagination of Tiny Chapter himself, the final product resulted from the artistic input of two more individuals: producer and multi-instrumentalist Rob Pemberton (The Staves, Maja Lena, Rachael Dadd) and strings arranger Harry Fausing Smith (Tom Misch, Lissie, Chloe Foy). These two artists worked closely with Tiny Chapter to actualise his vision of a sound world crafted within the framework of song- form yet richly imbued with the language of his mentors: from the soundscapes of Stars Of The Lid to the harmonic enchantments of Claude Debussy.
Tiny Chapter’s second EP ‘I Was Saved By The Beauty Of The World’ is a tone poem for the unique human capacity to transform pain into love. It chronicles his own of experience of the grieving process: the tragedy of loss, the struggle for meaning & the waking up to the inherent and abiding beauty in all things. This process is wordlessly conveyed within a sound world that dissolves the boundaries between western art music, electronic ambient & film score, whilst the inner narrative attempts to dissolve the perceived boundaries between self, other & world. To be released 09/12/22 on Severn Songs.
‘Bristol saxophonist and producer Dave Sanders crafts something that draws as much influence from the abstract art of Mark Rothko as it does his sonic heroes Portico Quartet and Gold Panda. Critics have described his music as ‘a beautiful, quiet storm…’ (Music is My Sanctuary)
He performs regularly with UK jazz upstarts Snazzback and has delved into ambient and dance music under the moniker Lyrebird as a producer with releases from both outfits upcoming in 2023 from Worm Discs and Severn Songs respectively.‘ https://eartrumpetmusic.co.uk
