Matt Dunkley - Matt Dunkley - Cycles 7-16 [Vinyl]
Barcode: 5051083121798

Cycles 7-16 is a natural progression from Matt Dunkleys deubt solo album, Six Cycles, released on Village Green in 2016. Like the debut, it was recorded in Berlin with the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg. With this album, however, Matt endeavoured to push himself further, to expand his writing horizons.

As well as being almost double the length, Cycles 7-16 boasts a broader sonic palette than its predecessor, such as the full symphony orchestra on Cycle 12 and the seven solo pianos used on Cycle 14. On others, Matt returns to his classical roots, using a string chamber orchestra on Cycle 11 and Cycle 16.

Inspiration came from myriad sources. Touring and travelling over the last two years, influences came from spending time in different cities and places. The wintry, tense Cycle 7 was inspired by an early morning in Berlin, while Cycle 15 was written whilst on a conducting trip to Norway.

Cycles 7-16 will be released on 12-inch vinyl, CD and as a digital download on 19th January 2018.
