+ Tsukimono Manchester Academy is very proud to present Peter Broderick. Born January 20, 1987, Peter Broderick is a musician/composer from Portland, Oregon. There he as played and toured with numerous groups (Horse Feathers, Norfolk & Western, Loch Lomond, Laura Gibson, etc.), and has established himself as a regular session musician for numerous recording studios, adding violin, banjo, musical saw, mandolin, etc. to artists such as M. Ward, Zooey Deschanel, Dolorean, and many more. But aside from working with all of these other artists, Peter’s main focus is his own music. As a child he studied classical violin, but over time he has collected many different instruments, trying to learn to play them all one by one. In mid 2007, Peter was invited by some of his heroes, the Danish ensemble Efterklang, to move to Copenhagen and join their live band. And so he dropped his entire life in Portland and moved across the world. Since then, he has released a mini album of solo piano music (Docile) on the Swedish label Kning Disk, as well as a 7″ (Retreat/Release) and his first full-length album of piano and string based compositions (Float). His releases thus far have been primarily instrumental, though 2008 saw the release of a completely different side of Peter’s music. Home is a collection of folk songs, based around voice and guitar, recorded between tours at the end of 2007/beginning of 2008. Peter’s live shows have been a mix of instrumental and vocal numbers, and so with the release of Home, both sides of his work is available on recording. Since the release of Home, Peter has released a further five full-length albums and a split with Machinefabriek. He has also released a handful of mp3 only releases and some 7” singles; he’s been a very busy boy, and for that we are very grateful. Peter’s latest release, titled Music For a Sleeping Sculpture of Peter Broderick ebbs with wave after wave of drifty ambience, scattered voices float in and out in a sleepy haze. Truly beautiful work from this astoundingly talented musician. To mark the release of this album he participated in two sleep concerts where the audience has a bed, and they fall asleep to the sound of him playing. He played until he was tired and slept there in the audience….in his pajamas! April this year he went to Type Foundry Studio (where Docile was recorded) and recorded a new collection of songs, his goal being to record and mix an album in one day. And that is exactly what he did. These new songs feature voice, piano, guitar and are currently being mastered for release in September. He has many ongoing and collaborative projects, which reflect his unique skill and talent as a musician and composer. Don’t miss experiencing the alluring and beautiful delight that is Peter Broderick live at Manchester Academy 3 on Tuesday 19th October.
