Snowdrop by Chloë March

com a high quality site dedicated to melodic and visual music, featuring artists such as Kiku Collins and Marcus Olgers.

I’m currently writing and recording the new album and learning the necessary new technology - If you’d like to stay in touch with how it’s going and hear drafts check out www.myspace.com/chloemarch (see links) where I’ll be advertising the release date too. The first song 'Sea Bell' is now playing on myspace - it's a song featuring marimba and piano loops - a deep, lush, emotional arrangement, with arching vocals for melodies..... Also added May '07 is 'ice release' a delicious slow-melting song of spring.

Short Biog:

I grew up in the middle of the English countryside, where there wasn’t much to do except play the piano, go for long muddy walks and generally become immersed in music, books and theatre (Shakespeare mostly :) - my parents are musicians and both worked for the theatre)

I ended up studying drama at Uni and whilst there wrote lots of theatre music, including the soundtrack to my one-woman show which I toured. This background is possibly why my songs have an evocative, 'visual' quality.

2005 saw me playing keyboards and singing backing vocals for 'Cousteau' ('Last Good Day of the Year') on the U.K and Italian tours and for live radio/tv and video - promoting the gorgeous album 'Nova Scotia'.

Influences:

Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Gabriel Yared (soundtracks to 'The Big Blue', 'The English Patient'), David Sylvian, Sting, Dead Can Dance/Lisa Gerrard (soundtracks to 'The Insider', 'Gladiator') Björk, Classical Music (especially Ravel, Debussy, Stravinsky....), Bill Conti (soundtrack to 'The Thomas Crown Affair'), Natacha Atlas, everything but the girl, the petshop boys, Air, Judie Tzuke, early Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, Keith Jarrett, Steve Reich, My Mum- it's a long list and gets added to all the time....

I’m also interested in working with film-makers and choreographers. If you are interested in using tracks or commissioning please get in touch.

Thanks very much for listening and reading....
