Listen "David Sylvian"
Episode Synopsis
A (relatively) in-depth analysis of the musical artist (and Beckenham-born) David Sylvian in (just) under fifteen minutes. In thhis episode I am in discussion with Dr. Andrew Webber.Following the break-up of his group Japan, Sylvian embarked on a solo career with his debut album Brilliant Trees, released in 1984. His solo work has included collaborations with artists such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Robert Fripp, Holger Czukay, Jon Hassell, Bill Nelson and Fennesz. Sylvian's recordings of the 1980s and 1990s were a mixture of art rock, pop, jazz fusion, ambient and avant-garde experimentalism. His more recent compositions have drawn increasingly on musical minimalism and free improvisation.https://buymeacoffee.com/lownoiseWhy buy me a coffee?Low Noise is proudly ad-free.
