Split album “glimmer” is Takumi Uesaka and Peter Broderick’s work. This album’s concept “If Takumi and Peter make the song for a quiet midnight”. With naive voice and quiet melody, Takumi & Peter delicately presents the calm mid-night, and then “Quiet night” would surrounds and lull the audience.

Takumi Uesaka
Takumi Uesaka’s sound world is comprised of neutral vocal wearing melancholy, electric acoustic guitar, feedback and humming. His world is delicate and fragile. And there is none other like him. His music is none like Sigur Ros and Owen’s, yet as the debut album, it gives a great impact like theirs… or even greater!

Peter Broderick
With the new relesae “How They Are” in september, Peter Broderick is one of the representative figure in the scene. In this “glimmer”, all his pieces are recorded at Grunewald church in Berlin. Adding the peculiar atmosphere to church and reverberation to his pieces, his pieces ever more simple and deeply resounding.

These pieces are truely the songs for “night”. You can’t stop shutting eyes and deeply absorbed into it.

Peter Broderick is a musician/composer currently residing in Copenhagen, Denmark, where he plays violin in the Efterklang live band. He has recorded and/or toured with several groups/musicians (Horse Feathers, M. Ward, She & Him, Norfolk & Western, Laura Gibson, etc.), and is a regular session musician at various recording studios. His solo work is quite varied, but is often grounded by piano and/or strings. He was born January 20th, 1987.

Released on 3” CD, the three tracks on display here combine piano, strings and field recordings. A signature of the Broderick classical sound is his ability to take a minimalist approach to composing and through his blending of pre-recorded sounds or looping his own instruments he adds significant complexity to his music. So, for example, “Part 1” in essence a fairly simplistic, but nonetheless beautiful piano composition is supported by undertones of violin and given a distinctly gritty edge through the recorded sound of a train passing by. “Part 2” which seamlessly integrates from the first track, gives the strings a more prominent role and the resulting sound is an emotionally charged, melancholic one. “Part 3,” reverting to a greater piano focus again, is the most melodic of the three tracks yet Broderick again through his ambient intuition, ensures there is not an overriding burden of romance to the composition.

There is a narrative link between the tracks, the title of the EP alludes to a cinematic quality, and as with the film scores we are accustomed to seeing on the silver screen, the three tracks here certainly feel connected. Despite its micro nature both in the few tracks at hand and the small physical format it’s released on, Broderick as ever succeeds in creating an expansive and complex, yet immediately accessible selection of recordings. With only 200 copies, make sure you are quick, as this is a necessary addition to the music collections of any musical enthusiast.

[me]This is not pure post-rock or like something that i usually post it here. Not all the songs are instrumental. But Peter Broderick is GOOD. He's an experimental genius. I watch it in Youtube, he play violin, sing, play guitar n keyboard, percussion, etc. :D Maybe similiar like Yann Tiersen (not the music).
