  • Portico Quartet Portico Quartet PR
    Portico Quartet Portico Quartet Mercury nominated East Londoners release their third, self-titled, album. Real World Records - CDRWP186 - Release date: 30 January 2012 Portico Quartet still sound like nothing you ever heard before. The Mercury nominated East London based outfit’s unique music has expanded to embrace new sonic territories. Drawing on the inspiration of electronica, ambient, classical and dance music as they take their strange, beautiful, cinematic, future music to exciting new vistas where the inspiration of Burial, Mount Kimbie and Flying Lotus rubs shoulders with the textures of Arve Henriksen and Bon Iver and echoes of Steve Reich and Max Richter. But all underpinned by a shared joy in collective music making as the band push their inimitable music into the future. It’s a change that was brewing for some time. As anyone who saw Portico Quartet live throughout 2010 knew, the band had added a heady brew of live samples and loops to their arsenal, exploring a harder-edged sound that brought a more contemporary edge to their previously wholly acoustic music. It was a metamorphosis that was accelerated when the band’s original hang player, Nick Mulvey, left to explore his own musical muse earlier this year and the remaining members drummer Duncan Bellamy, bassist Milo Fitzpatrick and saxophonist Jack Wyllie started exploring the possibilities of sampling the hang and triggering it’s sounds from electronic pads, opening up a whole new way of utilising the instrument’s unique sound. It accelerated further when they invited keyboard player, and now hang player, Keir Vine (an old friend of Milo’s from Goldsmith’s University) to come on board.

  • Portico Quartet
    PORTICO QUARTET “The darlings of the jazz/leftfield jazz scene” Big Chill website ‘Sound like nothing you’ve ever heard” Time Out “A phenomenon in the making” The Independent “A strikingly original sound."The Times Portico Quartet are four young musicians from South London who sound like nothing you’ve ever heard before. Living and playing together they describe their ethos as like an Indy band that plays post-jazz, and their unique sound has won them fans from Gilles Peterson to Radio 4 and Notion to BBC Music Magazine, and made them Time Out’s Jazz, Folk and World music album of the year. Portico Quartet are Jack Wylie (soprano Saxophone), Milo Fitzpatrick (double bass), Nick Mulvey (Hang and percussion) and Duncan Bellamy (drums and Hang), and it’s the mix of ethereal saxophone, flying saucer like Hang (imagine an otherworldly steel drum), clattering drums and earthy double-bass that gives their music it’s inimitable, beautiful sound. It was the chance purchase of the Hang by Duncan Bellamy, at a music festival, that inspired the young friends to start a band, and while their largely intuitive music references jazz and African music it’s the Hang inspired trance-like repetitive patterns of Duncan and Nick Mulvey that propel the band into stranger pastures: invoking Philip Glass and Steve Reich’s gamelan inspired minimalism. Their dance friendly, melodic brand of hook-heavy post-jazz was honed busking across Europe and playing in unusual spaces; churches, galleries and chill-out zones. A weekly session at the South Bank and residency at the Brixton Ritzy earned them a cult following and inspired London’s hippest jazz club, the Vortex, to start a label to release their music.

  • Portico Quartet Biography the Portico Quartet Are a Bunch of Guys in Their
    Portico Quartet biography The Portico Quartet are a bunch of guys in their early twenties who play instrumental music. Formed four years ago from two sets of schoolfriends, they share a house in East London, make recordings, and play festivals and clubs. Yet what distinguishes them from dozens of other Hackney hopefuls is the way they sound – a fresh, unclichéd resynthesis and reinvention of music that’s both pleasingly familiar and thrillingly new, like World Music from the future. With largely acoustic resources – percussion, bass and wind instruments – they have conjured and refined a group signature that’s immediately recognisable. Thanks to the use of the hang, a tuned percussion instrument bought on impulse at a music festival, they have a sound that is instantly attractive, yet uncompromisingly individual, and it’s this, combined with the cheerful eloquence of their performances, that has brought Portico Quartet a long way in a short time. The line-up of the band is Duncan Bellamy (drums), Milo Fitzpatrick (double bass), Nick Mulvey (hang and percussion) and Jack Wyllie (soprano, tenor saxophones and electronics). From a grassroots start in 2005, busking on the South Bank of London’s Thames, their reputation spread swiftly. They began to get paid bookings plus the odd festival, and they made a five-track CD to sell at gigs. In 2007 they signed a record deal to make a full length CD, Knee Deep In The North Sea (Babel/Vortex). This was a turning point: the album attracted attention from DJs, bloggers and critics of every stripe, and was nominated for the 2008 Mercury Music Prize alongside Rachel Unthank, The Last Shadow Puppets, Radiohead and Elbow – a win-win situation for credible newcomers like Unthank and Portico Quartet.

  • Nick Mulvey Bringer Groovende Og Hypnotisk Singer/Songwriting Til Ideal Bar
    2014-09-01 12:18 CEST Nick Mulvey bringer groovende og hypnotisk singer/songwriting til Ideal Bar VEGA præsenterer Nick Mulvey bringer groovende og hypnotisk singer/songwriting til Ideal Bar Den 28. november præsenterer den roste engelske singer/songwriter Nick Mulvey sine groovende og hypnotiske sange i Ideal Bar. Han var tidligere medlem af det Mercury Prize-nominerede jazz-band Portico Quartet, var på BBC liste over Sound of 2014 og er nu aktuel med sin solodebut. Som grundlæggende medlem af jazz-bandet Portico Quartet var Nick Mulvey i 2008 nomineret til en Mercury Prize, og efter han er i 2011 forlod bandet for at forfølge en solokarriere som singer/songwriter, har han været udvalgt til BBCs prestigiøse ”Sound of…”-liste tidligere i år. Rost debutalbum udkom i maj Efter udgivelsen af to ep’er, der begge var blevet positivt modtaget, udsendte Mulvey i starten af maj så sit første album under eget navn efter at have forladt Portico Quartet. Albummet, der bærer titlen First Mind, har fået flotte anmeldelser fra både store aviser og respekterede blogs, ikke mindst i hjemlandet. Avisen The Telegraph gav topkarakteren5/5 og skrev i anmeldelsen: ”His own songs have trance-like hooks, but also maintain momentum and evolve both musically and thematically. Like Paul Simon, he knocks out a lot of syllables, making conversational patterns of his lyrics.” Den engelske musikblog Line of Best Fit anmeldte albummet til 7,5/10 og gav det disse ord med på vejen: ”A total package of pop hooks, instrumental genius and gorgeous rhythms, Mulvey presents us with an intelligent record that demonstrates his passion for sounds outside of insular scenes.” Samlet set roses Nick Mulvey for at have skabt et album, der forener en lang række forskellige inspirationskilder igennem hans hypnotiserende og groovende spillestil, hvor flow og gentagelser er centrale virkemidler i sange, der er præget af originalitet og teknisk elegance.
