Artist:	HARD SLEEPER
Title:	Land, Live @ Rausch 05.11.02
Label:	FALLT (IRELAND)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	FALLT 18.0004

"Dublin based artist Hard Sleeper (Peter Maybury) has previous releases on Sub Rosa, Tu m', Static Caravan and Émigré Music. His first release for Fällt, Land features a performance at Dublin's Rausch. Land is characterized by minimal clicks and pulses set amidst a backdrop of warm electronic drones -- a sound Rudy Vanderlans (Émigré Music) describes as 'tentative shapes and melodies, pieced together through fragments of dislocated sounds'. Building slowly it establishes a gentle series of interlocking rhythmic patterns which underpin ghostly piano fragments and slowly coalescing electronic harmonies of delicate beauty. Focused around a sustained core passage of melody Land hovers, melodies deftly coaxed and stretched, before easing into a beautiful closing passage of digitally folded drums."

Label:	SUB ROSA (BELGIUM)
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	SR 211CD

"Following on from his contribution to Floating Foundation vol. 2 (SR191), "Rain"/A Leaf Spiral is the first album-length release for Sub Rosa from Dublin based artist Hard Sleeper (Peter Maybury). Maybury would qualify his music as 'the detritus of pop,' tentative shapes and melodies are pieced together through fragments of dislocated sounds. Drums, piano, analog synthesizers and guitars allowing music and images to travel a parallel journey through dreamy landscapes drifting in and out of focus -- as if memories or thoughts that come to you while travelling, passing from waking to sleeping and other states of semi-consciousness. Hard Sleeper has released material on Emigré Music, Tu m', Static Caravan and Fällt."
