Liverpool's Electronic Music Artist, AL_X Releases His Debut Album

AL_X from UK releases his self-titled debut album on Fluttery Records

NY (I-Newswire) February 13, 2012 - Writer, producer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist and serial collaborator electronic music magician Alex Dunford has, after a long and tortuous gestation period, finally released a masterful album of exquisite, reverberant melancholy, full of keen, persistent melodies and darkly sculpted, piano-driven soundscapes under the name of Al_X.

Lovers of electronica can discover the tunes; listen the album free or buy it on the label page (flutteryrecords.com).

From a diverse musical background in Liverpool and Manchester, Alex Dunford (born 1984, Liverpool, England) has been a multi instrumentalist since he was 13. Primarily a drummer in various liverpool based bands (including computer game music band 1up), he has now decided to concentrate on being a multi-instrumentalist and producer, writing music, remixing, and has now established himself as a in demand producer and remixer in the north of England.

His sound includes elements of such artists as Brian Eno, Sigur Ros, Depeche Mode and Recoil, with a blend of Orchestra, Analogue synths, Drum Machines and Acoustic Instruments. Alex plays all instruments, programs all drum machines, writes all music, and produces all the music you hear on his releases.

With the aid of co-writers and vocalists (Jeff Jepson, Dom Veron, Kate Smith), themselves coming from worlds more akin to folk/blues/jazz/other, the album brings together vintage drum machines and synths, toy instruments, strings and string loops, acoustic guitars, Reverbs, Delays, and miscellaneous tools from Alex's menagerie of gear into a seamless and cinematic whole. Alex takes us on journey through his tastes, his mind, and his favorite instruments in this collection of cinematic pieces and soundscape driven songs.
