Melbourne composer, producer and sound designer Tilman Robinson releases his new album Deer Heart this October on Hobbledehoy Record Co. Mixing evocative arrangements with dynamic percussion and evocative instruments, the album was mixed by Valgeir Sigurðsson (Björk, Ben Frost, Nico Muhly etc.). To celebrate, we have an exclusive preview of the affecting track ‘Where We Began’ below:
Written, recorded and meticulously pieced together at various locations in Berlin, Melbourne, the Canadian Rockies and Reykjavík’s Greenhouse Studios, the album follows Tilman’s debut recording Network of Lines, which was nominated for multiple Australian art-music awards.
Academy trained in the fields of both classical and jazz composition, Robinson’s diverse output focuses on the psychological impact of sound.
