TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT

Where better to start the year than on tour in Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. There will be 16 gigs from the 16th of January to the 16th February, there will be at least 16 songs in the set and you will have to be at least 16 to get in (although I can’t imagine that being a problem).

Mobile phones are discouraged, as are plastic bags and nuclear weapons. Bring your ears, your concentration and anything you want signed. Music donations to the In Deep Music Archive are encouraged as are pets, kindness, wide-eyed enthusiasm, avocado sandwiches, honey and Celestial Seasonings teas (especially Tension Tamer).

Any questions or requests email me via Olivia at olivia@martywillson-piper.com and we’ll see what we can do.

Looking forward to seeing you there! 🥨

ATLANTÆUM FLOOD’S DEBUT ALBUM ‘ONE DAY’ OUT NOW

Hey All! On this day, Friday 8th November 2019, the Atlantæum Flood instrumental album ‘One Day’ is officially out. 🌕

Pre-orders have been sent out already and the album has been received with great interest as we release a record that for me is the first time I have ever been involved with something purely instrumental. There have been jam albums and improvisations but this is something different. 🌓

So join Steve & Lynne Knott, Olivia & I and Dare Mason on an instrumental journey through the moody changes in the rotation of one day on the planet Earth. If you like Floydy guitars and world rhythms on acoustic guitars, arpeggios, violins and at one point I even play the bouzouki, then this is the record for you. 🌑

Available on VINYL & CD at Schoolkids Records
Listen via SPOTIFY

SPOOKY HALLOWEEN UPDATE

As I’ve become involved in a lot of different projects in the last few months I thought I should get them all together in one place and describe what they were for spooky Halloween. I’ve just arrived in Stockholm and rehearsals have started and – surprise decision – I’ve decided to play this show in Norway using a black Les Paul for the whole night. I’ll try and get some pics.

Guitars & Electronics | Jerome Froese Collaboration

What a pleasure to be in the studio here in Berlin with Jerome Froese, ex Tangerine Dream and son of the legend that is Edgar Froese. Our collaboration in its early stages has taken us from Sudanese snacks to Schöneberg sequencers, spinach böreks to shimmering guitars and from flights of stairs to flights of fancy. Stay tuned for future revelations in 2020. 🎹🎸💻

Atlantæum Flood PRE-ORDERS

Hey all from Berlin where I am working on a project with…well, let’s leave that for another day.

Today’s news is that the Atlantæum Flood album ‘One Day’ is now available for pre-order on vinyl and CD on the Schoolkids Records website. It’s the first time I have been involved in a purely instrumental album that wasn’t a jam session. Its moody soundscapes and evocative atmospheres will have you dreaming within a dream and relaxing into a revolutionary reverie of sad melodic guitars, dynamic violins, vivacious acoustics and trembling ethnic instruments. I like it, so will you. 🌖
