About Me |
|
| I'm an artist based in the UK..... music and visual design has been my life for more years than I care to mention.... (note to self: 'Really should get out more')... I spent my formative years in Coventry, (the Detroit of the UK to give our US brothering an image). The city that brought the world 'The Specials' and Sir Frank Whittle (the father of jet propulsion). I'm now based on the border between England and Wales, an area of untamed beauty that reflects my mood nicely. For the last 10 years I have run 'et mobile recording', clients have included: June Tabor, Topic Records, and the BBC. Over the last 7 years I have recorded 4 albums, "Smiles and Fists", "505", and the latest "The Room is Empty". The 4th "Dark Transport" will be out later this year Check out my website if want to know more or just drop me a line....

Music:Member Since: 3/6/2006Band Website: charlieberesford.com Band Members: Charlie Beresford: vocals, acoustic guitar Tim Harries: double bass, piano, spinet, percussion Mark Emerson: violin, viola, accordion, piano Rosie Green: backing vox Influences: James MacMillan, Steve Martland, early New Model Army, Ray Bradbury, Edvard Munch, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Die Brücke in general, Sephardic Romances, Eastern European folk music, Astor Piazzolla, Faith no More, Benjamin Britten, Leonard Baskin, Stravinsky, Mark Hollis, Mike Osbourne, Steve Reich, Tool, Schnittke, Kate Bush, Bobby Previte, any noise that interests the ears, traffic noise, rivers flowing, machinery....etc Sounds Like: "Charlie Beresford, painter, vocalist, and acoustic guitar master, uses all of his talents here to create a fourteen song set of seemingly small tunes of loss and growing, edgy anger, that upon repeated listens sound epic in their own way. This cinematic richness is due in no small factor to the help he gets from Tim Harries on bass and Mark Emerson on violin and accordion. They help center Beresford’s guitar in a jagged and moody space. So while tunes like "The Tide That Pushed Away" and "If Only" sound fragile and restrained initially, they blossom into something dark and beautiful. "I Let You Walk With Me" manages to sound comforting and sinister at once, a sure sign of genius. Beresford’s playing is restrained but biting on that chain to be let loose. Like contemporary murder ballads, though with hints of saving grace, this record comes from a room that is far from empty." musicemissions.com "Charlie Beresford blends elements of folk and haunting, contemplating pop into a brooding sonic mixture. Its unplugged beauty at its best. Not only Beresford voice, but also the way he sings is truly fascinating and compelling." funprox.com "the variety of little episodes populating this album is remarkable ......it shows there’s no fear of experimenting in the musicians, which injects a conspicuous dose of interest in the listener. In fact, the melodic hints are quite scattered, following no schemes at all, and the largest part of the work is built around harmonious successions of little fragments, cemented together with great sensibility, while some bitter sweet tales unfold." (Gianfri) Darklife ezine. 'this is as close to a work of genius as you will find in this day and age" Whisperin and Hollering "Small emotional pieces with big effect......a real pearl" Terrorverlag Germany "a beautiful, enchanting one-of-a-kind work of art" DPRP Holland "He shrugs off comparisons and attacks the under belly of soulful pop........“The Room Is Empty” is a decent album of haunting melodies and dashing downtrodden tempos." smother.net Record Label: brightfield Type of Label: Indie |
