‘There is beauty all around us, filter out the noise.’ - Grice
Filter is a conceptual album (a reflection on an age of unaccountability and diminishing humanity) containing 14 tracks and featuring contributions from Richard Barbieri, Steve Jansen, David Torn, Luca Calabrese and Theo Travis.
---------
'FILTER is an exploration of the filters used to shape audio content as much as the algorithmic filters employed to stream and manipulate information, the multiple social filters we apply to ourselves and others, the precious organic and natural filters, the atmosphere, algae and corals that purify and protect our world which are under threat. Artists too are Filters attempting to distill universal experiences, thoughts and feelings beyond mystique and melody.’ - Grice
The album artwork features the silver-salt and Prussian blue images of British Algae, Cyanotypes created by photographic pioneer Anna Atkins (1799-1871). Roland System 700 photo album images & photography: Richard Barbieri
