Album artwork for Colourfield by Dan Michaelson

"Colourfield" marks Dan Michaelson's first full length release as an instrumental artist and his debut on Village Green Recordings. Having found support on Elizabeth Alker's Radio 3 show Unclassified, who called it "sweeping, suspended, drone-like, but also precise", and Gilles Peterson's eclectic 6 Music show, "Colourfield" draws inspiration from such diverse artists as John Luther Adams, Spiritualized, Laurie Anderson, Brian Eno and Gavin Bryers. Working closely with violist and conductor Robert Ames and violinist Galya Bisengalieva, the result is a vast field of sound, as informed by texture and human intervention as it is by melody. "The hope is to be lost in it, to get to the other side with no memory of where you set out from."
