Artist News Releases
Peter Broderick announces new album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 20 September 2011
Peter Broderick has a new album coming out this year, which is good news. The sometime Efterklang violin player and an multi-instrumentalist wunderkind will release ‘Music For Confluence’ on 28 Nov via Erased Tapes. The album will also serve as the soundtrack for a new documentary called ‘Confluence’, which focuses on a number of cases of missing and murdered girls in Idaho in 1980.
Broderick explains: “The film is based in the Lewiston, Idaho area, not too far from where I grew up in the USA, and it chronicles several mysterious cases of young girls found murdered or gone missing around 1980, all of which seem to lead back to one man who for a variety of reasons has not been able to be charged with these crimes”.
He continued: “I set out to create some textural soundscapes which could complement the building tension of the story without being too intrusive or suggestive. Days and nights, snowed in and experimenting with layers and layers of whichever instruments I had around, finding a murky atmosphere that fit with the uneasy feeling which the film gave to me”.
