Reeling from the success of his previous single ‘Postscript’, These Brittle Bones is back with a buoyant titled ‘Beyond’, which is wrapped in calm, warmth, and welcomed familiarity. The latter is not to be confused with repetitively or a lack of individuality, but the unique experience that is injecting welcome calm into your new music Friday. Check out ‘Beyond’ below:
Speaking on the creative process behind ‘Beyond’, These Brittle Bones shares:
“The initial melody was created by looping piano motifs on top of one another, and the pattern that was building up became increasingly percussive in a way that made me want to take it even further. Steve Reich is one of my all-time favourite musicians, and I also really enjoy remixes of his work which add synths and bass lines on top of his looping of xylophones, microphones, and the like. I decided to try and marry the two and create a piece that captures the emotion of those early hours of the morning, of the magic of urban environments in that hinterland between the night out and the sun rising. I’m really proud of the result – it’s one of my favourite pieces from my new material.”
With inspiration from the likes of Ezra Pound and Virginia Woolf via their writing and poetry as well as a love of ambient and classical music, These Brittle Bones is a project that is gathering steam. With backing from notable publications and Spotify Editorial, Chris Jones’ venture is something to be admired and followed closely.
