Belle Chen: Turning sounds from around the world into music

From noisy Indonesian children during Ramadan to a calm night inside a Chinese hospital, Belle Chen has spent the pandemic making music inspired by ambient sounds from around the world.

Unable to travel and perform due to Covid, the classically-trained musician has been asking people to send her audio recordings from where they are.

She then uses them to improvise pieces of music to share online for her Sounds from Home project.

Saxon have announced full details of their ‘Inspirations' covers album featuring their take on classic tracks by Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Motorhead, The Rolling Stones and many more.  

As a taster for the album, Saxon have premiered their cover of The Rolling Stones’ 1966 classic ‘Paint It Black’ and its accompanying behind-the-scenes video filmed during the recording sessions at Brockfield Hall earlier this year.

Featuring 11 songs that influenced Saxon and helped mould them into the band they are today, ‘Inspirations’ was recorded at Brockfield Hall near York and it’s released on Friday 19th March 2021 via Silver Lining Music.

Saxon singer Biff Byford says of ‘Paint It Black’: “I’ve loved this band since I first saw them and heard them. I liked the Beatles, but the Stones appealed to my rebel side; their iconic look… so many great songs, such a great attitude in the music!”

Jack Elliott - December Songs - Tour December 2021

JOHN ELLIOTT aka THE LITTLE UNSAID 'December Songs' 

SOLO TOUR DECEMBER 2021

John Elliott is the songwriter and producer behind The Little Unsaid, a band that according to The Line of Best Fit has ‘trodden the leftfield alt-rock edges of prolificacy for some time with moments of melancholic brilliance.’ Winner of the Steve Reid InNOVAtion Award for boundary-pushing music, John has split the last five years between touring with The Little Unsaid and composing music for theatre, film and producing records by other artists. 'December Songs' is a new album of acoustic wintertime songs that marks his first solo release under his own name. The album was made in his South London home over one week during lockdown, with John staying up late into the nights and recording quietly in the corner of his living room, trying not to wake anyone! It's been such a huge success we thought we'd put together a short tour in December 2021 featuring the songs from the album (hopefully out of lockdown!).   CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO   John Elliott   “I never thought I’d make a Christmas album. For me this time of year is tied up in rituals and a sense of myth that have been with me since childhood. Locked down and heading into winter at the end of this year that’s weighed so heavily on all of us, I found myself wanting to write stripped-back, comforting songs that captured things about Christmas that I’d miss this year. They’re songs that hum with the darkness that’s in and around us through the winter – especially this winter – but hopefully at the same time they’re little musical hugs that say, ‘yes it’s been tough…life is still beautiful…here’s a mince pie.” Press for John’s work as The Little Unsaid: ‘Bold and different’ - The Guardian ‘A stunning interpretation of contemporary chaos’ - The Line of Best Fit ‘A giddying conflation of folk, electronica and lavish orchestration…one of the genre’s grandest successes thus far’ - Dots and Dashes ‘Sweetly fragile and darkly muscular…intense, but always hopeful’ - Metro   John Patrick Elliott   CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO     GET IN TOUCH FOR TOUR BOOKINGS IN DECEMBER 2021 email: gail@laughingdogmusic.co.uk Click here to go to LAUGHING DOG MUSIC Click here to go to JOHN PATRICK ELLIOTT   ©2020 Laughing Dog Music |
