Good Seed - Ellis Island Sound CD
Good Seed - Ellis Island Sound CD
Ellis Island Sound started life as a duo consisting of multi-instrumentalists Peter Astor (The Weather Prophets, the Loft) and David Sheppard, gentlemen adventurers in sound since 1997. Recorded in a tiny, deconsecrated chapel in the sleepy Waveney Valley on the Suffolk/Norfolk border, the album features 20 brand new songs. Using acoustic instruments that range from parlor guitars and ukuleles to pump harmoniums, dulcimers, goat skin drums and washboards, and recorded on an antediluvian 8-track tape recorder, its EIS stripped down to their analogue fundaments. That said, Pete and David also deploy a stylo-phone, a Casio mini-sampler, a Bentley Rhythm Ace drum machine and miscellaneous noise making devices. Their friend Josh Hillman (from the Willard Grant Conspiracy) helps out, lending violin, viola and pedal steel. 2007.Additional Info: Personnel: Graham Massey (vocals, guitar, baritone guitar, balalaika, lute, violin, alto clarinet, bass clarinet, alto saxophone, baritone saxophone, harpsichord, Clavinet, organ, Wurlitzer organ, keyboards, synthesizer, mini-Moog synthesizer, midi horn, drums, drum machine, percussion, programming); Seaming To (vocals, keyboards); Graham Clark (violin, electric violin); Howard Jacobs (bass clarinet); Roger Wickham (baritone saxophone); Gary Farr (trumpet); Simon J.
