‘Collisions’ is a collaboration featuring neo-classical and film composer Tom Hodge, post-rock composer Ciaran Morahan and jazz composer Ollie Howell.
The project is focussed on physical forces, on bodies exerting forces upon each other. With Collisions we’re presented with Collision tracks, or Motion tracks.
Here’s their first single, called ‘II’. : beginning with distorted piano sounds this soon gives way to jazzy piano chords, synths and drums then coming to the fore, before a bigger, orchestrated production shines through. There’s a smorgasbord of textures and ideas to absorb, so we’re always immersed on what’s going on….
“This was the first piece composed for the record. With a chord pattern taken from the original writing session with an acoustic band, Tom arranged the track and took it into an unconscious electronic direction. The track has the constant idea of movement with bouncy piano melodies and arpeggiated synthesisers incorporated throughout. The track is climaxed by saturated acoustic drums and reverb soaked clarinet complimenting the track’s overall ethereal feel.”
